Anita Hill......working with Joe.

Anita Hill never pictured herself voting for Joe Biden.

But given the political reality the nation is facing, she's not only going to vote for Biden -- she's also willing to work with him, should he become president.
"Notwithstanding all of his limitations in the past, and the mistakes that he made in the past, notwithstanding those -- at this point, between Donald Trump and Joe Biden, I think Joe Biden is the person who should be elected in November," Hill told CNN's Gloria Borger. But it's not just because he's running against Donald Trump, she adds. "Its more about the survivors of gender violence. That's really what it's about."
And if that means voting for and working with Joe Biden, then "so be it."

I bore agonizing witness via C-Span to every minute of the Thomas confirmation hearing. It was the sole reason Biden was on the bottom of my list during the primaries. I came around after NC, but this news put it it over the top.
