It was a big night here in Austin, Texas, home of the University of Texas Longhorns and home site of the U.S. political world earlier tonight. Of course I had one of the 200 public tickets up for grabs but I gave it up to watch the political spectacle with real people at The Tavern. (Little plug there.)
So it seemed undeniable that there was only one person on the stage who deserves to be the Democrat standard-bearer. The one who's fought the Republicanic attack machine for the past 35 years - the one who has been successfully pointing out that words don't feed hungry children or give them health care for 35 years - the one who has been fighting for 35 years to stop law enforcement officers from entering homes without warrants and deporting parents while leaving their babies in the house in America - the one who has been fighting for 35 years to keep parents from being deported during the day, leaving their children to come home from school to an empty house (I didn't know about these two deportation examples until she mentioned them tonight.) - the one who has been ready on day one for 35 years. That person is America's Senator, Hillary!
