What a guy!

At this defining moment for our nation, we should be proud that our party put forth one of the most talented, qualified field of individuals ever to run for this office. I have not just competed with them as rivals, I have learned from them as friends, as public servants, and as patriots who love America and are willing to work tirelessly to make this country better. They are leaders of this party, and leaders that America will turn to for years to come.

That is particularly true for the candidate who has traveled further on this journey than anyone else. Senator Hillary Clinton has made history in this campaign not just because she’s a woman who has done what no woman has done before, but because she’s a leader who inspires millions of Americans with her strength, her courage, and her commitment to the causes that brought us here tonight.

We’ve certainly had our differences over the last sixteen months. But as someone who’s shared a stage with her many times, I can tell you that what gets Hillary Clinton up in the morning – even in the face of tough odds – is exactly what sent her and Bill Clinton to sign up for their first campaign in Texas all those years ago; what sent her to work at the Children’s Defense Fund and made her fight for health care as First Lady; what led her to the United States Senate and fueled her barrier-breaking campaign for the presidency – an unyielding desire to improve the lives of ordinary Americans, no matter how difficult the fight may be. And you can rest assured that when we finally win the battle for universal health care in this country, she will be central to that victory. When we transform our energy policy and lift our children out of poverty, it will be because she worked to help make it happen. Our party and our country are better off because of her, and I am a better candidate for having had the honor to compete with Hillary Rodham Clinton.


That's what Barack Obama said about Hillary Clinton last night in St. Paul. I think it was so great. I got chills multiple times during his speech. He did not have to say such nice things about his competition, but he exemplified his wonderful character when he did. I really appreciated what he said about her, and I believe it to be true. I am really inspired by Barack and I hope he wins. I know that I will be doing everything that I can to help him win. What a guy.

I caucused for Barack Obama but I think that Hillary Clinton would be a better president than Barack Obama. I even like her view on health care more than his. I am inspired by Hillary Clinton about as much as I am by Barack (which is a lot).

I just think that she is so establishment, and I do not think that she can bring as much change as he can.

I really want to vote for a woman for president. Its just not gonna be Sen. Clinton this time. Hope she is in the Obama administration though.
