Clinton sounds the charge for Minnesota DFL
snip>
"We are headed to a brave new world of extremism. We need to make clear we are not going there now or ever," she said, receiving one of many enthusiastic ovations from the room of nearly 2,000 partisans, who paid $100 each to raise money for the state party.
....
Saturday night it was all about the DFLers, and Clinton called on them to stand against the "radical reactionary right-wing agenda." The Republicans are attempting to concentrate power and are "tearing down the building blocks of democracy one by one" by "controlling" and "flaunting power" and adhering to "a rigid ideology well outside the mainstream" that is dismantling the checks and balances of government, Clinton said.

As the world gets smaller because of access to travel and computers, she said, "We cannot believe we decide what we want to do and direct the rest of the world to follow our orders."
....
Humphrey, after whose father the dinner was named, said flatly that Clinton will run and that by 2008 the public will be sick and tired of the right.

"The health care crisis will be right on top of us, and she knows how to solve it," he said.
