Yes, I went to see Hillary. Again.
I freakin' love political rallies. I LIVE for them. Yes, the countless hours of standing in line and then waiting in a huge crowd of people for hours isn't always fun, but the end justifies the means. Plus, you get to meet cool people in line, which I of course did.
Her name was Susan. An out and proud lesbian who had just moved to Ohio from Tennessee. She absolutely loves Hillary and voted for her in the primary. Like me, though, she has moved over to supporting Obama, but could never pass up the opportunity to see Hillary.
Immediately we hit it off. We waited outside of the gym for about an hour and a half and then finally moved into the gym, only to wait about another hour.
Hillary came on at 3:45pm and spoke for about 20-25 minutes. She was fired up, and in turn, the crowd was fired up. Of course, I was standing on the floor, not too far from her, but not nearly as close as I was at OSU (front row). So, when the rally was finished, I maneuvered my way up to the front, and got to shake her hand! I was like a starstruck little girl not knowing what to say. So, I just said "Hi, Hillary!" She said hello, and that was it. Short and sweet, but something I'll never, ever forget.
