The NEW Hillary
Advertisements [?]
I just want to reiterate that I'm an Obama fan and supporter, but over the past couple of days, Hillary has accomplished amazing things and overcome incredible odds to reassert herself and reestablish her candidacy as a political force to be reckoned with.

I think that the most impressive thing Clinton has done has been to let her guard down and show her inner self. She has had a history of being emotionally reserved and guarded, or at least that has been my perception. She announced earlier this week that she was taking charge of her campaign and basically would be less dependent on her handlers. I think that this is her best political decision yet in this campaign. I first realized how effective this was during the "That hurt my feelings..." moment during the debate which was a masterful moment that changed my perceptions about her. Coupled with her already infamous tearing up, which I do think was genuine, she has successfully revealed a more vulnerable and human side to the electorate and I think it has resonated.

Her victory speech was the clincher for me. She seemed much less stiff and guarded, and more human. She looked good and handled herself gracefully, much more comfortable. I have to say I like this new Hillary. As long as she maintains this more honest and refreshing persona I can easily support her in the GE. I'm still supporting Obama, but she is definitely looking more attractive as a candidate now that she is taking charge of her campaign.
