You make an important point: if Hillary truly cares about these issues she can be directly effective in many other ways than running for President.

That will be the test of what she’s really made of and what she really cares about.

Just reading this, but that made my day. And I love your story about hearing Mari Evans read her poem!

I remember (can’t exactly remember the date, but some time early 70s) sitting in the audience when she read that poem. It had such a powerful impact on me. I’ve been following your commentaries at TOD and I deeply appreciate your forthrightness on many issues.

I agree with what you wrote about not having a coronation (we’ll leave it at that), tucking support for VP Biden away in my pocket because he would carry on PBO’s agenda, and, of course, looking forward to seeing who else might run!
