Damn. Frankly, I'd just like to hug her with my legs--in friendship. :D

Great woman, all the best to her

Haha. You read my mind. She rocks.

 

 

...and all was well, and the world smiled.

You are so right.  Your statement reminded me of a couple of other women trailblazers who were the targets of a lot of crap...just for being the first. 

Barbara Walters who took on being co-anchor of the evening news for a major network...with a man who didn't want to have to work with her.  She sure as hell had a bull's eye on her back.

And let's not forget Ellen DeGeneres.  When she came out...to be the first lesbian starring in a major network sitcom...not only was she the target of the media...but she received death threats as well.

I guess a big part of why these women were and are viewed as such threats is because...and please forgive me for using this too often verbalized word during this campaign season...they all represent change.

Hillary has probably been weathering a lot more then I can even imagine and so no matter what, I wish her well.

If I was old enough to vote in the next election, she would totally have mine.

I hope she wins ohio and texas tommorrow night!

She's got my vote!

Go Hillary!

 

For the whole SNL skit + Hillary’s appearance:

I loved her on SNL XD

Cant wait to vote for her tomorrow.  I've been supporting her since the start of her campaign ^^

Tomorrow, I will vote in the Ohio primary.
I've been reading the articles and watching very carefully, but I've refused to get involved in political "battles" with anyone. 

Thank you for writing this article, Dorothy Snarker. It's a breath of fresh air after all of the dreary articles/political commentary I've been reading lately.

Oh...and thank you for including a link to the article by Connie Schultz (a columnist for The Cleveland Plain Dealer). I enjoy her columns and read them on a regular basis.

Yes...it's the eve of the Ohio primary (Finally!)
and no matter what the outcome...
I am proud of Hillary Clinton.

I've never seen a candidate walk through fire the way that Hillary Clinton has. With grace. And humor.

love this article and hil on SNL. priceless.

That Cleveland Plain Dealer column is such a wonderful expression of what Hillary's campaign means to women.

Thanks for the post.

I am old enough to have voted for Shirley Chisholm in the Michigan Primary in 1971.  (?)  Segregationist, George Wallace, was also running for the nomination.  How far we've come!  From an African American woman had no chance, on two counts, to what looks like either an African American male, or a woman in the White House next year.  (Hopefully.)

I'm supporting Hillary Clinton all the way.  Not only are her credentials impecable, I can't think of anyone more qualified for the job.

I loved the SNL sketch and appearance.  I'm hoping that this was exactly what her campaign needed.

My blog has the SNL video of the Clinton/Obama debate, from NBC: http://askalesbian.blogspot.com/2008/03/saturday-night-live-video-hillary-vs.html

Whoever your candidate is, please vote!

Best regards!

 

 

 

 

im from texas and hillary is my girl i cant wait until she is president i love her

When she put her hand on Amy's shoulder I got chills, the good kind :)

im in england so i cant vote but i think shes fantastic and i would love her to be president.

Recently, when I look at the Democratic Party, I am reminded of high school and the "Senior Superlative" awards.  Obama is "most popular" and Hillary is "most likely to succeed".  Bill Clinton said that Democrats want to "fall in love with their candidate".  My hope is that voters will take a cold and calculating measure of each Democratic candidate.  Hillary is ready and tested.  I want her to be my president.

I'll echo the sentiments of my fellow Brit by saying that Hillary Clinton would be my candidate. I love her, and I truly believe that she would be the best (wo)man for the job. Barack Obama may be riding high now, but where's the evidence that he would make a good president? I know the new Clinton ad about who you would want in the White House at 3am when something's happened in the world has caused controversy, but I know who I, and many other people around the world, would rather have there. And it affects us - especially in Britain, where we are so deeply tied to America that we're almost the 51st state.

Fact is, Clinton's the right candidate. She has the best chance of swaying unsure/disillusioned Republicans. She has the best chance of going up against McCain, who let's face it, will definitely be the Republican nominee, and winning, and more than anything else America and the rest of the world need a democrat in office after 8 years of George W. Bush.

 While the SNL skits are exaggerating it, it's true that the media are favoring Barack Obama to a ridiculous extent. It just amazes me how many Americans can't see it. and what it all comes down to is many of these people would rather have anyone but a woman in charge. But a woman, especially a strong, intelligent, capable, compassionate, driven woman, is exactly what's needed. Clinton is ready to be President. Is Obama?

This might sound preachy, but I don't mean it to. I love America, and it's ridiculous the extent to which I care about the elections - I stay up the night of primaries so I can watch what live coverage we have, no matter what I've got going on the next day. I'm crazy invested in this.

And now I'll stop.

I'm so ridiculously happy to have read all of the comments on here today, as well as the actual post. It's refreshing again...

i think i now have a mini-crush on Hilary.  its funny here in the uk the focus is totally on the democrats, McCain hardly gets a mention on the news.  i dont know as much as the facts as i could but i completely agree with eva and rachel.
