Hillary Clinton's speech last night was wonderful and offered much food for thought for at least one voter who supported her and has been unsure about Obama.
I'm not going to view last night as proof "the wrong candidate won" as some HRC backers seem to or to dwell on negative comments from those on the Obama side who say if she doesn't deliver her supporters, her career is over.
It is what it is, she will not be the candidate, her career will not be over no matter what happens and she cannot force anyone to vote for one person or another.
But when she asked if we were only supporting her or were we really supporting the ideals she believes in, it resonated with me.
I'm hoping the rest of the convention lives up to the moments provided by Hillary Clinton and by Michelle Obama, that Joe Biden and Bill Clinton, both of whom I admire, add to my feelings that unity can be restored and that Barack Obama's speech Thursday will advance the theme that while my candidate is out of the running, the hopes and dreams I share with her will be important parts of his administration
