The commentators on PBS just said that Eleanor Roosevelt would be proud of Hillary Clinton's speech.
I agree. I also think that Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Lucy Stone and Lucretia Mott and Carrie Chapman Catt and all the women who fought long and hard to get women the right to vote and equal status as full citizens in this country would be proud.
I want to go back in time and show this to them, to keep them inspired through all their struggles. And thank them for making this moment possible.

And I love Sen. Clinton's speech about whether or not people were in it for her or in it for what she stood for. You don't vote for a person, you vote for a platform. To vote for a Republican because your candidate didn't get the Democratic nomination is foolish, and voting against everything your candidate stood for.
