Endorsement: Hillary Clinton, The Candidate Who Actually Inspires
I am a Democrat because of Socks the Cat.
Okay, there’s many other reasons than that, but that’s where it started. When you’re a seven-year-old kid with a black cat and the new President has a black cat too, that’s reason enough to support a political party.
As I grew up, the values I developed of fairness, compassion, equality and economic justice aligned with the Democratic Party, and I’ve stayed there since. I’ve volunteered for Democrats since age 16 and have worked on their campaigns for the last decade.
The reason I bring up this story is this: if Hillary Clinton wins election and re-election to the presidency, she will finish her second term two months shy of my 40th birthday. From the moment I first developed a hint of a political consciousness to the precipice of entering middle age will have been dominated by the Clinton family.

This is a huge endorsement. Iowa Starting Line is a must read site for Iowa Caucus and political news. It is highly respected. Many people who follow the Iowa Caucuses in minute detail use the site as a resource.
The actual endorsement is fantastic. It's a bit long, but it's a fast read if you know what I mean. Check it out.
