Hillary Clinton

It should be noted tonight will live on forever in American History.  The first woman in American politics to be the top of a Presidential ticket will accept her nomination as she speaks to the Democratic Convention in Philadelphia.

I agree with my national political guy Jeff Stein, who did make a valid point Barack Obama will always be the first non-white guy President, but we shouldn't take away from the moment.  Women weren't allowed to vote 100 years ago.  Many women were considered their husband's property into the 1970's, with virtually no rights in marriages, or in relationships. Not so too long ago, if they didn't accept misogynistic and sexual forwards from bosses and co-workers, they were often fired without any recourse.

We still have a long way to go.  Women, inexplicably, get paid less than their male counterparts for the exact same work, and, even more shocking, many people are trying to make sure that never changes.  Women have numerous non-medical profession men trying to make health decisions for them.  One rape of a woman is too many, and we still have arguments today about whether the rape was justified due to how the woman was dressed.  We expect women to not only work the same job for less, but when they carry our children, and give birth to them, we don't have an effective system in society to help women through the process, regardless of whether they choose to be a stay at home mom, or go back to the workplace.

Even after winning the nomination on Tuesday, there were a shocking amount of newspapers in this country which carried a photo of her husband, instead of her, under the heading "Clinton Clinches the Nomination."

I'm glad we're here.  I'm proud to support Hillary Clinton.  I pray to God she wins in November.  I so want for her to prove all the Republicans who've vilified her for 23 years they were wrong.  I want her to prove how foolish the neanderthals who still think women are a lesser sex really are.

I'll be watching history tonight.  Will you?
