An emotional finish for Hillary supporters

August 27, 2008 By WRN Contributor

A bittersweet end to the campaign for Wisconsin Hillary Clinton supporters.

Of 32 pledged Wisconsin delegates for Hillary Clinton, 21 cast their vote for her nomination on the Democratic National Convention floor. Madison delegate Heather Colburn says she was one of them, and did so because of her strong support for Clinton. However, she says she'll be ready to fight just as hard for Democratic nominee Barack Obama in November.

Colburn says it was an emotional moment when Hillary cleared the way for Obama's nomination to lead the Democratic ticket. She says many of Hillary's supporters could be soon crying on the convention floor, including her.

Clinton met one last time with her supporters just hours before Wednesday's roll call. Colburn says it was a great way to end a hard fought campaign with a personal "thank you" from the Senator from New York.
