My admiration for Hillary grows each time I read/hear something like this. She is a bigger and better person than I could ever be, if I were in her shoes, to stand on the same stage with Pelosi and Michelle.

Good for her.

2:10: Starting off with a whole bunch of preliminary yak yak yak.  I'm anxious for them to get to the meaty issues.

2:20: I'm really disappointed so far. Such impressive women and all they're doing is bantering about meaningless trivia.  What's the point?

2:30: This is ridiculous. I've just listened to a full half-hour of nothing but vapid platitudes and lame jokes. I'm really upset about this.

Besides, I've sworn not to give a cent to the DNC.

From the LA Times today:
"There were so many examples in the media of sexist comments where we never heard from the party leadership or Barack Obama," said Stacy Mason, executive director of a political action committee called WomenCount, which claims thousands of members. The group ran newspaper ads in the spring urging Clinton to stay in the contest.

"We're focused on why the Democratic leadership was so silent about it during the campaign," Mason said. "It was their obligation to come to the defense of one of their own primary candidates, and they didn't. They stayed silent during the campaign, and that's not OK."

Poor Hillary... she has to appear with two of the people that treated her the worst...

Participants in the Roundtables will be drawn from the thousands of dignitaries scheduled to be in Denver during the convention week, from individuals across the country and the world by invitation, and from citizens in the local Denver-area community.

One of the roundtables is

Unconventional Women -
How can more women be encouraged to register and vote?  What success have women achieved in elected office in the United States, and what support might increase the number of women candidates and elected officials?

Although I'm sure someone somewhere will have something to complain how she didn't say the right thing while she was there.

There is something I'd look out for, and that's how Michelle and Nancy handle the reception Clinton receives.

If it's like they have nothing to lose by Clinton getting a standing ovation, then lets consider that improvement.

But I can already see the jaws tightening.

Which is sad for both Michelle and Nancy.
