It's done and Hillary displayed the political brilliance she is credited for and aptly deserves. As a result HRC has garnered the respect of even those who cannot bring themselves to say anything nice about her (and you know who you are). Those still depressed that HRC is not the nominee must remember that she is not going away; She will continue to be a powerful force in the Senate and Democratic Party.
Yesterday's convention experience was exhilarating on so many levels including the close encounters with The Famous. Florida's coveted place on the floor - within spittin' distance of the podium- meant the notable and influential passed right by us throughout the night.
Dave Barry, Chevy Chase, Matthew Modine, George Stupidopolus -er, Stephanopoulos (I still haven't forgiven him and Chuckelhead Gibson for their inane "moderating" of that April debate between BO and HRC) - Andrea Mitchell, Joe Scarborough, Spike Lee, and Tim Daly. And those were just the ones I was able to see amongst the crush of people jockeying for position in competition with the camerman and videographers....
