Hillary Clinton vs. Super Bowl Sunday

I got there really early cause I wanted a good seat. I ended up volunteering and helping set up and organize! It was a great time, albeit rather exhausting. But I was really there to see Hillary, and her speech didn't dissapoint.

Despite the grassroots hype around Obama, it was Clinton's speech that felt far more of the people. Not only were the first speakers representatives from four major unions who endorse her, but the general energy of the room was like a social protest as opposed to a rock concert like Obama's. I genuinely think it was more than simply differences in venue, too.

On the important matters, however, I am reaffirmed in my belief that while Obama excells at speaking on the thematics of hope, it is Clinton who has the experience, infastructure, and political sensibility best suited to our political landscape. While there are a few things Obama is more liberal in line with my beliefs, I still find Clinton's experience much more important and expect that regardless of standpoint, SHE will ultimately bring the country further along a progressive agenda when it comes down to concrete policy advances. But more important, the one issue I am most passionate about, health care, is an area that Clinton's version is better. She mandates universal coverage. That's a deal breaker for me. I know she can make it happen, and I support her 100%.

Her speech touched on issues, not thematics. She is genuine. She is strong and resilient. She will be a successful and productive president. Vote tonight!
