I'm weirdly wildly curious about Hillary Clinton's speech tonight at the convention. I might be setting myself up for a punch in the gut. Like going out for a drink with an ex when you think enough time has passed, but they turn out to be still really bitter and a little crazy about the breakup.

I say that as someone who has been on both sides of this scenario.

ETA: I raced home on my bike and walked in the door and immediately turned on the tv and there she was, in an orange suit (my favorite color!) introducing herself. And you know what? She did pretty fcking alright.

Maybe she will compromise and just spend the whole time bashing McCain and republicans. But I doubt it. Like you, I don't trust her. But I want her to be trustworthy, I want her to step up to the plate and prove everyone wrong and be awesome and inspirational and gracious and healing. Why?? I don't know. She's never been a powerful public speaker, her strength is number crunching and policy wonkery. But she's my ex from 1992 and I'm a sucker.
