Honest, irenic writing by an ardent Clinton supporter - just excellent - I admire this piece greatly - reads even better in context

At first, I felt like I was cheating on her.  I was emotionally connected to her candidacy, her intelligence, her perseverance.  As time went on, I began to listen more closely to Obama and became increasingly convinced that he might just be the real deal.  He might just be able to restore optimism and hope and good will about America around the world.  He might just have a better shot at beating McCain.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/joan-garry-/how-i-feel-about-hillary_b_104781.html"><P>And so I cast my vote for Obama and in so doing, I left Hillary.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/joan-garry-/how-i-feel-about-hillary_b_104781.html"><P>And while I am beyond ecstatic about having Senator Obama as our nominee, I find myself feeling really terrible about Hillary.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/joan-garry-/how-i-feel-about-hillary_b_104781.html"><P>
I have no doubt that Obama will give the speech of his life tomorrow night.
