Hillary Clinton

Congratualtions to her, she ran a good race and has gotten further than any other women in American political history.
And as she said, she may not have broken through the ultimate glass ceiling but it has a hell of a lot of cracks in it and she's inspired not only my generation, but the ones before me and hopefully one or two in the generations following me.

She is a woman with great intellegence, integrity, courage, conviction and passion and i think, when all is said and done teenage girls could have much worse role models.

Sure she didn't make it this time, but who's to say that if Barack Obama doesn't get in, that she won't run next time? If that happens i hope she does run again and i hope circumstances allow to either donate to her campaign or vote for her.

I also don't think Obama will name her as his vice presidential running mate although the ticket would be undeniable. I think he'll go with John Kerry.

One thing that did strike me was the fact that some people weren't going to vote for Obama simply because he beat her in the primaries. Yeah, because JOhn McCain is such a better alternative...

But i think the world is a little bit better off because of her efforts and i hope that we can build on these...
