As most of you know, before yesterday I was an ardent Hillary Clinton supporter. I even had a Hillary Clinton bumper sticker on my back window. When I had heard Bernie Sanders was going to be coming to Greensboro, NC I figured I would go see him. Greensboro isn't too far from where I live in Durham, so I RSVP's a couple of seats. I posted about it on Facebook and found out a couple of my friends in Raleigh were going and were already strong Bernie supporters, so we decided to ride with them.

When we got to the rally yesterday, there were already a lot of people. I saw a diary about Kossacks who were meeting together. I looked for any sign of Kosscaks, but with so many people I never found them. Before Bernie arrived, I really thought the rally would solidify my support for Hillary. I couldn't imagine it would change my mind completely.

Bernie took the stage, and the place really went wild. He used his normal talking points as best as I can tell, but people said he seemed more energized compared to normal. He talked about all the issues that I care about and he talked about them with passion. He is a much better speaker than I thought he would ever have been. He's authentic. I left convinced that I will be voting for him in the NC primary.

My husband was committed to Hillary Clinton and had already donated a good bit of money to her campaign (as have I). He has also decided to vote for Bernie after yesterday's rally.

I still love Hillary and will enthusiastically support her should she win the nomination, but I am going to have to cast my primary vote for Bernie. Oh, and my Hillary bumper sticker was replaced by a Bernie sticker this morning.
