Meeting Hilary Clinton

Had the interesting opportunity to briefly meet Hilary Clinton, along with the other Democratic State Representatives and various other former and current officials. Enjoyed her speech and well outlined platform she presented to us, but I do have some trepidations about Sec. Clinton for President. Hilary's in a much similar position to the one she was in, during the 2008 primary, when she led the Democratic field early on (by a wide margin), but faced heavy criticism from GOP and Democratic opponents. Many liberals and progressives within the Democratic party also don't think she's willing to follow through with seeking reforms for Wall St. and the heavy influence of money in politics. Regardless, she makes for an amazing candidate and certainly has an amazing and active group of supporters. Always good for the candidates to prove they can stand up to intense scrutiny and be strong in the debates, so I plan on holding off to lending any support or endorsements to any of the campaigns!
