I am sad that Stephanie Tubbs-Jones wasn't able to hear Hillary's speech tonight

[PBS Poll-435]

After being one of Hillary's most ardent supporters during the primaries, I wish she could have been there tonight.

Thank you for 1-6-05, Congresswoman Tubbs-Jones, RIP.

15. I do too...

She was a great woman. Always stood up for everyone's rights in this country. Sucks that she has left us too soon but I'm sure she is very happy with what went on tonight.

3. she probably saw it

from another place. i'm sure she had a big smile on her face.

[question everything]

4. What a heartfelt, bear hug, Bill gave her son

this was really touching. I wonder who he was at the time to merit such a warm and feeling hug.

11. Same here - Sad - she would've been so proud

She'd have been grinning and cheering.

I hope there is a heaven cause tonight I'm sure she was shouting 'You Go Girl!'

12. You know I did not agree with her on the Primeary but I always

came away from listening to her feeling better. She was so upbeat I couldn't help but smile. We will miss her greatly.

I hope they elect a great Democratic Rep, though, in the Special Election.

18. Stephanie was one of Hillary's most ardent supporters

I wish she could of have been there. Her son should be so proud, his mother was an extraordinary woman. A Great loss for our party.

19. so am I.

She was my rep., and while I disagreed with her during the primaries, she always handled herself with grace and class, and I never heard her take a cheap shot at Obama. Had I known that she and Hillary were close personal friends, I would've been less inclined to be annoyed, but even that annoyance didn't phase my general support of her. She was a class act all the way.

BTW, I was surprised at the genuine 5-minute tribute Chris Matthews gave her on Hardball the Monday following her passing. He was sincerely moved and very much liked her.
