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.

It doesn't have to be so black/white -- its not a mountain or a mole hill. Its a real thing, along with hundreds of other real things.

I also think you are right, the media is inflating it greatly -- last night I was so annoyed by the NPR interviewers who asked every single person what "Hillary has to do to convince and unite the party" and every single person answered confusedly, "the party is united, we're behind Obama for president". But Hillary's speech last night wasn't really for the people at the convention, it was for the people at home, and it was for the media to maybe finally shut the fck up about it. So in that case, it did feel important.
