After dinner, I headed over to a party at Here Lounge in West Hollywood for a big primary viewing party sponsored by the Stonewall Democrats. It was wall-to-wall gay peeps. Got there as Clinton was addressing supporters in New York. Here is a video of her speech:

Hillary had me at hello. But with Barack Obama coming on so strong, I watched his speech - which was terrific - with great interest, I had friends who had voted for him - although the crowd at the party was largely pro-Hillary - and I wanted to see if maybe I was missing something. As I said, the speech was terrific and he delivers it so beautifully. I see how people can feel so inspired. But I felt like it was also full of subtle cheap shots against Clinton as part of the "old" and Obama is part of the "new." I need more than that right now. I need specifics, I need a track record, I need someone who has real plans ready to be executed, I need someone who cares about the underdog. Barack Obama is some of those things but Hillary Clinton is all of those things.
