Peter Daou and Tom Watson: Hillary is a dedicated progressive
As long-time progressive activists, supporting Hillary Clinton for the Democratic nomination is easy. Our judgment about her is based on personal experience, not on the distorted image created by her detractors. Peter was Hillarys digital adviser for several years and got to know the person behind the media caricature.
Hillary is a singular world figure, exceptionally intelligent, exceptionally well-prepared for the job and capable of withstanding withering political attacks with her integrity intact.
Contrary to the false political narratives, Hillary is a dedicated progressive who has spent her life in public service. Her voting record places her in line with Elizabeth Warren and other more liberal Democrats. As a leader who understands the inner workings of our political system, she is best positioned to make progress where it counts: for working families, for women and for children.
Speaking of women, if elected, Hillary would be the first woman ever to hold the most powerful elected office on earth. That matters: not just to her, but to countless women and girls across the globe who continue to suffer oppression and injustice. This includes our daughters, spouses, sisters, mothers, friends and colleagues.
Last year, when we launched #HillaryMen to defend Hillary against unfair attacks from the rightwing, from the media, and from her political enemies, we focused on the thing that mattered most to us: that Hillary is a person of immense conviction, fortitude and grace who can stand in the arena, absorb the often brutal onslaught, and soldier forward in the best interests of our nation.
Whats more, we know she can carry the political battle to those who would hinder the cause of realistic progressive policy.

My pre-work morning routine is looking for good Clinton news while drinking coffee.
Once I get to the office I'm inundated with issues so I rarely can get on DU during the day. Morning, noon, and evening are my Clinton Group times!
Have a great, great Thursday!
