She was passionate and very well-spoken. I am a fan of pundit Juan Williams, an African American journalist and historian, and I watched him turn somewhat emotional over seeing a 44-year-old African American woman in the running for First Lady of the United States.

But they need to show that they're just like ordinary Americans, and I guess that this makes up for his arugula comment early in the primaries.

All that aside, I may not always agree with their positions, but I do celebrate where they are.
"If I stand beside you, it's because I have risen with you."
