There's a groundswell of drama in anticipation of Hillary Clinton's announcement of her candidacy

...from republican critics, to supporters, to Democratic opponents, there's an excitement surrounding this announcement that's palatable and impacting - no matter what side of the opinion folks might be. It feels far more momentous than any other candidate who's announced, so far. Imo, that's quite a hurdle for other potential candidates, and it's more than I expected. There's a dynamism about her campaign which is even appears to be buoyed by many of her critics and opponents. We'll see if the substance to the roll-out matches the enthusiasm (pro and con) surrounding her candidacy, but she's certainly generated quite a considerable amount of attention. I see that CNN's devoted 2 hours to her announcement. Should be interesting, to say the least.

I can't spend my entire Sunday here waiting for it. I am working 6 days a week right now and really need to get personal stuff done today.


I hope she does it soon or I am going to miss it.


The funny thing is, I am not even that big a supporter. I just want to see the announcement as it happens.

...and I work tonight.

Not a primary supporter, either, just a political nut.
