why am I not happy about it?  Because she didn't earn it.  She has been set up to be the Democratic nominee, she didn't have to fight her way through a field of men, and come out the best.  It's not winning when it is just handed to you.  Like her Secretary of State position, Obama just handed it to her as part of political pay off. She didn't earn it.  And the DNC just handed her the nomination - she didn't have to beat Bernie Sanders, because the DNC had already decided she would be the candidate.  If not for being Bill Clinton's wife, she would never have had a political career.  She was just about handed her Senate Seat, without having worked for it.   Obama beat her fair and square, but then handed her the SECSTATE position as a payback. 

Real equality happens when a woman can compete with men on the same platform, and win.  Not by using her connection and political favors to win.  And that's why I am not happy.
