On the walk out of the Pepsi Center I found myself near Cleveland attorney and Ohio delegate Jan Roller, who was one of the 2007 Ohio Democratic Party Volunteers of the Year and is active in the Ohio Democratic Women's Caucus, and her sister Joy Roller, a guest at the convention and in regular life the Executive Director of the Gordon Square Arts District.

I wanted to get a reaction to Hillary Clinton's speech, so I recorded this part of our conversation as we walked:

YDS: What did you think of Hillary Clinton's speech tonight?

Jan: I couldn't be more happy, and excited, and proud of Hillary Clinton and of the Democratic Party, as a result of Clinton's speech tonight. The enthusiasm of united support for her and for Barack Obama was evident in what we saw on the convention floor.

Her words, right at the top, that "I'm a proud supporter of Barack Obama" really said it all. And when she said "you didn't work this hard not to win the election, and not to change the failed policies of the Bush administration." On so many levels and for so many reasons, she did everything that she needed to do to unite the party, and to make it strong.

Joy: And the clear thing that she did was to say, did you do it for me, or did you do it for them? That was the thing that ...

Jan: That answered the question, for those who were holding onto her instead of going forward and ... releasing from her and going to Barack Obama.

Joy: That was the key, that she was telling them don't do this just for me, don't just hang onto me. The party, the issues, the country, is bigger. We have bigger issues to deal with than just your support and love for me.

YDS: Was it significant that she seemed so presidential tonight? Was it a vindication or confirmation of your support for her? I mean, was that a good thing, as a HIllary supporter?

Jan: She looked like a great stateswoman tonight. It made me so proud of her. I'm looking forward to the future for Hillary Clinton. I mean, she is a standard bearer for the Democratic Party. In the end though, a majority of Democrats felt that Barack Obama is the person needed to make the change. And so as a good Democrat, and one who wants that change desperately, I'm supporting Barack Obama now.

And the issue is done. It's over now, it's put to rest, and she put it to rest so beautifully.

YDS: Is there still an element of regret, that just can't be made to go away, do you think?

Jan: Not for me. Not for me, because I care about this country more deeply than I care for any one person in it.

Including Hillary Clinton.
