so i'm still pretty excited after last night's events. i went to the hillary clinton victory speech. we got there early and got against the barrier right in front of the podium, next to LA's mayor, ambassadors and congresspeople. after waiting and watching the results come in, it was the most uncontrollable excitement and joy when it was clear hillary was the winner. when she came on stage, the place went insane! i was so wrapped up in it i don't really remember much of her speech after she said what she did about NH helping her find her voice. amazing.

afterwards, we hung around and met not only hillary, but bill and chelsea too. they were are pretty incredible.

i know, i'm on the young side and i'm supposed to be for obama, but i just don't see it. i compared him to deval patrick (MA gov) who we elected a year ago. I believe actually they have the same campaign manager. But it was the same message of hope, and change and growth that obama is running on now. And i got wrapped up in it, devoted myself to the campaign, afterall, it was uplifting and a wonderful thought. Now, a year later, there is not really any promise he made that has been delivered. He blames the slowness of the legislature, but I can't help to think that it has something to do with his lack of experience in politics before he was elected. I fear the same result would come about from obama, and i'm not willing to do that to my country. experience does mean something afterall.

but more about why i don't think obama is the right candidate another time. right now i'm still relishing in meeting the clintons and being there to experience such an uplifting event.
