Hillary and My Little Sam

What Our Daughters Need to Know About Campaign 2008

When we look back on this time, I'll tell my daughter that Hillary Clinton didn't fight like a man. She fought like a tough contender. And like anything in life, you give it your best shot -- sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. In this case, the apparent loss is actually a victory for gender equity.

So, now that she's suspended her campaign and thrown her support behind Senator Obama, I'll put that Hillary ball cap away and save it for little Samantha. I'll dig it out when she's in third or fourth grade memorizing Presidents and state capitals. And we'll start the conversation that will likely stretch into adulthood. It may be pink, but to me it symbolizes progress and infinite potential.
