I really enjoyed Hillary Clinton's speech. I liked the fact that she was up there by herself, her daughter introduced her and her husband was far away. She was proud of a lot of things, except being a wife. I thought that was interesting. But it was appropriate because she had to step away from that role.
Some people do not realize how difficult it is to have an independent life from one's spouse, to have ambitions of one's own, especially when one's career was put on hold for a while, especially when the spouse was the president of the US. I think she has grown over the course of the campaign. Even if she did not win the nomination, the fight made her stronger and more confident. She is speaking better and looks more relaxed.
I'll vote for Obama for president.
