Taylor Marsh Reports on Clinton Campaign Event

Taylor Marsh at TM.Com offers a very moving account of Hillary Clinton’s women’s event in Washington, DC last night.

Marsh begins:

“It all started with Congresswoman Stephanie Tubbs Jones. What a dynamo that sister is. Energy personified. She talked of women, of mothers, of sisters and daughters. She went outside the political to the human story of generations, which was the theme of the event. Terry McAuliffe spoke, Senator Barbara Mikulski. Dorothy Rodham, Hillary's mom, came out with Chelsea. She sat and took it all in, while Chelsea commanded the stage taking questions. They found a perfect way to utilize this beautifully charming woman who, as HLF said, is a meld of both of her parents. The Ebenezer AME Church choir came in singing, which brought me to my feet. Gospel does that to me, always has.”

On Hillary’s speech:

“Hillary's speech was passionate, filled with things she was ready to do, all of which revolved around solving problems for people in order to make their lives better. Nobody gave these ideas to her. They came up through the passion she has for policies, because she's a politician who believes that Democratic solutions don't just provide hope, they change people's lives.”
