Hillarysworld

I was at the Baruch College rally (pictured in this collection) -- part of the overflow crowd that didn't make it into the main hall, so watched her address from an adjacent auditorium. Many of us had been waiting hours to see her speak, so needless to say, we were pretty disappointed. After giving her speech in the main hall, we were preparing to go, but do you know Hillary came next door to the auditorium so that those of us who hadn't been able to see her address "live" could at least meet her briefly? I was about ten feet away. Especially given the circumstances (the superdelegates had just selected their nominee, in one of the great travesties of American political history), she was incredibly gracious and radiant. God, I really wanted her to fight on, all the way to the convention, and for awhile it looked like she might. There was a gang of four college kids in the auditorium, high as kites, who pretended to be Hillary fans to get closer to her, but then started shouting for her to withdraw from the race (I'm putting it politely). Seeing the photos of that event reminds me of some of the best of times in the primary season (the way Hillary really found her voice and was gaining momentum in the last few months) and the worst of times (all those fascistic, gloating, obnoxious Obamabots).
