    Thank you, Jonathan, for this article. As a Mt. Holyoke student, I interned in Chicago in 1982 and the formidable Joanne Alter hosted me for about three weeks. I voted Hillary Clinton in February as a Democrat Abroad, but am now supporting Obama. Please give my regards to your mother.

    Wonderful article. I am 55 years and this articulates how I feel in a profound way. When Hillary announced, I was so proud and very sure that I was going to vote and even campaign for her. My 21 year old daughter and her new found enthusiasm for politics made me listen and then vote for idealism over genderism.

    Thank you. This was silently powerful and profoundly meaningful. God Bless your mother on this Mother's Day
