I've never voted for a woman for president either, and despite not supporting Hillary in the primaries either time, I'm pretty excited to do so now.

To paraphrase John Kerry, I'll be proud to say "I voted against her before I voted for her". Maybe I should make a Bernie Supporters for Hillary shirt that says that.
