With Kasich and Portman and Chabot, it can be hard to be proud of being an Ohioan, but then I remember Sherrod and Marcia Fudge and all the wonderful people in my county’s Democrat organization and I feel a little better.
Omg guys, this roll call! So much love! As a resident of ohio, i teared up when Obergefell spoke on behalf of the OH delegation.
I’m 66 years old. I became a feminist when I was 5, and my older sister was told she could “join” a model airplane club my father belonged to. She could pay dues, but not attend meetings or meet because she was a girl.(My father promptly “unjoined” that club!) I’ve been waiting 61 years for today.
I’m with her.
This is my grandmother’s story as well! She’ll be 102 by Election Day and she’s still as sharp as ever (and liberal as ever) and she can’t wait to vote for the first woman president ever. So proud of her :)
My grandmother was 89 when she passed away a month ago and in hospice at the end when she was starting to be pretty unaware and we knew it would be over soon we just went ahead and told her Hillary had been elected and my grandmother, the lifelong democrat who went back to college in her 40s, was so happy. So we need…
I won't lie, I teared up when she cast her votes.
I don’t get the righteous indignation. I thought it was a blatant reference to Trump’s tweet about taco bowls.

because they are insinuating that her laugh is too loud, too aggressive, too much and she should be relegated to tiny giggles behind her hand like a good, docile woman would. I mean, can you believe her audacity to actually laugh her real laugh??
DC comes before “getting hit by a car,” so this ranking is bad and wrong.
THAT is a hell of a reference.
I used to have to travel to Sao Paulo frequently for my work, when I was with a large Fortune 500 company that had offices down there.
Was it just me, or did she look/sound a little emotional when she said the line about her daughters being able to take for granted that a woman could be president? I don’t know why, but I wasn’t expecting that from her. Not because I don’t think Michelle would care about big milestones in women’s achievement, but just…
I’ll go for the DC/MD/VA special
This gave me better feelings about his more recent pro-choice stances:
Oh sweet Jesus.
Officially a 100% would. I’m pretty sure Ive had a crush on this type my whole life and now I feel weird that he is old and running for VP because none of the guys I had a crush on are doing anything requiring adult clothes or a resume.
