I've just watched Hillary's full speech from last night (I'm in the UK). Started crying the minute she walked out into the crowd and haven't stopped yet. This is an incredibly emotional moment for me. My mom is almost exactly the same age as Hillary, and just the thought that ANY woman, a woman like my mom or any other, could achieve this...the barriers are broken down... man, it just really gets to me.

It took someone as strong, tenacious, and brilliant as Hillary to achieve this. Seriously, bless her for taking on an absolutely thankless job and ROCKING it so hard!
