On the first day of the convention, delegates are told to show up early and pick a seat that will remain assigned to us throughout the entire convention.
I sit among a combination of Obama and Hillary delegates. The Hillary delegates have a lot to share and are in different places in terms of accepting the outcome of the Primary and supporting Obama. I've learned a lot from them.
Today during Hillary's speech one of my Hillary-delegate friends cried. She leaned over and told me how hard it was to accept Hillary's defeat, but that supporting Obama would be easier given Hillary's strong endorsement of him.
I've come to appreciate the depth of support Hillary enjoys with many and the real emotions that must be worked through for each person in their own way.
