Hillary has been a part of our lives for the past 17 months and we are hoping she will continue to be during our summer this year. Today was a historic day as she "suspended" her campaign to become the Democrat nominee for President and urge everyone to place their support for Barack Obama. The choice of the word, "suspend," was done for legal reasons in order to be able to continue raising money to reduce her campaign debts of up to $30 million. Worth it? However one looks at it, she needs to retire as much of this debt as possible.
Hillary's speech was really great -- great turns of phrase and great thinking! She talked about the progress of the women's rights movement starting as far back as 1848 and the progress of African-Americans and other groups. This progress needs to continue, she said, and we both agree.
Lois and I hope that she will be back to try again. Hillary has proven that she is a tough, persistent campaigner and she deserves the opportunity to try again. Let's see what other news she creates for us this summer.
