Michelle Obama
Even if Obama doesn't win California outright, he has stopped Clinton by bringing her here to a draw. And perhaps the most astonishing thing is that Barack Obama himself was not in the state.
I want to see two beautiful black girls, wearing the same braids I had as a kid, playing on the White House lawn.
We can stop dividing things by men and women. I don't need to vote for Clinton to show that I support women. I support women by looking ahead to the next generation.
WHAT'S HAPPENING
A vote for Clinton is a vote for the incremental politics we've known for decades, but a vote for Obama is a profound statement of desire for reconciliation not just with the world but amongst ourselves.
Michelle Obama stood about 50 yards in front of me and I was unnerved when I realized I was crying because the women-behind-the-men had shaken my heart.
Bill Clinton must restrain his criticisms of other candidates lest he hurt the Democratic Party in the long term. How many more outbursts before his value to the Democratic Party -- or his wife - will disappear?
Is what's fair and expected for one spouse prohibited to the other because he was once president?
We should admit that being a woman is different from being a man and that expectations differ with regard to how we comport ourselves in private and public life.
