I don't know who this woman was on the stage. I was a supporter and fan for many, many years until the nastiness and ugliness and dishonesty of this campaign turned my stomach against her.

Tonight, the "old" Hillary was back. Where did she go? What happened in the past months? Yes, I have concerns about some of her votes, but aside from the issues, the woman I saw tonight was articulate and well-versed, intelligent and competent and personable (if not unapologetic about her Iraq vote.. she needs to work on the triangulation).

With Edwards out of the race - and don't get me started on that - I will still cast my vote for Obama. But a piece of advice to Hillary: Strident and dishonest does NOT become you. Mark Penn does not become you. Bill Clinton yelling and wagging his finger does not become you. The attack dogs do not become you. You do not need any of them. Just be yourself, please. Be that strong, capable woman we all know you can be, without the triangulation and without the scheming.

Congratulations, Hillary. You did good tonight.
