There is no official Hillary Clinton campaign organization. Ms. Clinton has not yet indicated whether she wants to be president. Lots of people hate her, for reasons that may or may not make any sense.
And yet. Nearly 150,000 people have signed on to the Ready for Hillary Super PAC's Facebook group. Sixteen thousand of them have ordered the bumper sticker. Current events are widely discussed in terms of their effect on her chances. Clearly I'm not the only one who wants this to happen or thinks it will.
I don't know how normal grassroots movements get started. All I know is this: I posted something on Facebook, trying to explain to a friend why this matters to me. And then I thought, I need to do more.
So I did. I bought MaineforHillary.com, set up a starter Web site, invited other Hillary fans to share their stories, started Kossacks for Hillary, wrote this diary. (All in the last two hours.)
Let's see where it goes, shall we?
