(11,949 posts)24. Happy birthday madam secretary
Soon to be Ms. President.
Lake county Florida. Voted straight ticket for the Democratic Party this afternoon.
Long lines. Lots of minorities even this conservative areas and LOTs of women with young girls. 3 people in red shirts. All old(so am I) all white(so am I). And all scowling at the diverse crowd.
While waiting I was seated next an African American lady. And OK, I stereotyped and assumed she was voting for Hillary. I leaned over and quietly told her it was Hillary's birthday. She just smiled and said 'I know'.
A day to remember.

For many of us this will be our second time. Remember Shirley Chisholm?
