I voted in the California primaries yesterday, because I’ll be out of town for the big day. To be honest, it was a tough decision for me, because I’m pretty thrilled with the choices. Clearly, no matter whether Hillary or Obama wins, I’ll be especially proud to vote Democratic this year.

In the end, I decided to vote for Hillary in the primaries because I think she’ll be better able to hit the ground running. Lord knows our country can use every day of reasoned leadership we can get. Also, as my friend Sara said, I’d be disappointed in myself if our country finally managed to elect the first Madame President and I didn’t do everything I possibly could to help get her there.

I know a lot of you guys are in California, so please take advantage of your chance to help whomever you think is most worthy. It’s going to be a good year.
