'POLISHED LIKE GOLD'-Recall this beautiful bit from the TX Town Hall meet -K & R on PolVids, pls!

Thought you'd all appreciate seeing a nice little vid for Hillary today. Especially for those who missed the Texas Town hall meet, or those who simply want to hear again the wonderful words spoken by Ms Hodges.

This is one of the most moving, powerful and heartfelt little speeches I've yet heard in this Primary season. Notice Chelsea's reaction at the first 'polished like gold' mention. I think HRC was truly moved by this woman's words at the end, too.

K & R here, people:

15. My mom is 88 and says she just wants to live long enough to see a woman as president. And it isn't

just any woman as president, she honestly feels that Hillary has what it takes. I think this is especially important to older women because they have lived long enough to face more discrimination in the work place. It is so much easier for young women to get into professions that once were male dominated that sometimes I don't think they "get" it. To finally have a capable woman in the White House would be an enormous step to help tear down some of those last barriers against women. Susan B. Anthony went to jail so that women could vote. Even black men were given the vote before women. My sister worked her way up to second in command in her company only to have to train a younger man to take her position. My sister set up branches all over the state for her company but never was given vp status--that was reserved for younger, inexperienced men. I've have had my own issues with sexism in my preferred career. I don't think any woman wants preferential treatment, we just want equal treatment and having a woman president would say to so many women, old or young, of any race, that they are of equal value--finally.
