Clinton may or may not win the nomination, but this is an historic time for women in this country. Whether she can pull it off and become the first female nominee for president in U.S. history remains to be seen. It's up to all of you. But each one of us needs to understand and appreciate what she's accomplishing. As of today, she gained respect in the Senate the old fashioned way, she earned it. She's raised as much money as any man in the election cycle and more than all but one. She's working every single county, while also making sure she votes on critical legislation. She's campaigning for every vote, just like she did in New York, working her hardest to convince voters she can win. She's also delivering better than the men in most debates and forums. Her campaign has also been the most disciplined and best run.

This is not a small moment in U.S. history, whether you like Clinton or not. It's pathetic that she's not getting covered as such, because for anyone who has been around going as far back as Geraldine Ferraro, it took a long time to get a woman running again on the big ticket, let alone for the top spot. It's a huge moment for us all, whether Clinton pulls it off or not.

If she does succeed it won't be because so called "progressives" aided her cause or even took the time to post the truth about what's going on out in primaryland, preferring slash and burn, while ignoring the glaring faults of candidates not coming close to her performance. Clinton and I will never agree on everything, but we do have one thing in common. We understand how hard it is for a woman to do what she's doing, especially in the boy's club where national security, military matters and foreign policy, at least in America, are seen as guy things. Ask Nancy Pelosi.

This blog covers all the candidates fairly and honestly. If you don't like the coverage, perhaps it's time you checked your own bias instead of policing mine.
