Hillary Clinton Gets Emotional. Plus, all NEW backdrop touting "Working For Change"! LOL

Clinton gets emotional
The Clinton campaign is aiming to show a softer side of the New York senator.
WASHINGTON (CNN) — Democrat Hillary Clinton got visibly emotional at an Iowa campaign event Monday morning designed to showcase a softer side of the New York senator.

Flanked by childhood friends and constituents who each offered testimonials on the Democratic presidential candidate, a glassy-eyed Clinton spoke noticeably softer than most past appearances on the stump.

"It is very exciting for me to have so many of my friends from my entire life who have come out here, to talk with Iowans, to answer questions, to give you some insight and information about our relationships, about what I've been trying to do my entire life, and particularly as an adult," Clinton said at a campaign event in Johnston, Iowa Monday.

"What I try to do every day is figure out how to help somebody,” she said later in the event. “You can try to help somebody every single day, and I’ve tried to do that as a public servant, as an activist, and now as a senator."

The event coincides with a new campaign Web site — www.TheHillaryIKnow.com — that includes videos for several friends, colleagues, and constituents of Clinton's speaking on her behalf.

The event and Web site are all part of an effort to convey a softer image of Clinton, as polls continue to indicate Democratic primary voters view her as less likeable and more like a "typical politician" than her chief rival, Barack Obama.

4. Thanks. I'm glad she's incorporating "working for change" into her message
I thought her comment about working for change was a great moment in the last debate.

8. Why did she figure out that Bush needed her help so often the last 7yrs?


Why, just last year Hillary figured out another way to help Bush:

17. Apparently. They tried 'establishment' and 'experienced', both didn't
work, so now they're copping Obama's refrain. Not very original of them.

12. HRC and Obams both establishment candidates will make
similar change. HRC has the advantage--better knows her
way around.

13. Be VERY careful Senator Clinton. If you go too soft you might have to vote for another Kyl-Lieberman

Yeah, help them lose their job by outsourcing or replacement with an h1-b visa holder.

<edit to add> We don't need her help.

20. I need her help!
Could she send the Hilla-copter to my house and maybe help shovel a little snow? My big hairy union thug ass got kind of misty today hearing her speech. Of course they were tears of laughter, but hey, its a start. She reminds me of the last scene in terminator 2 when it is finally trapped in a vat of molten metal and goes through every form it has taken in a vain attempt to save itself.

::sniffle:: I feel yer pain!

23. "Working for Change" -- I like it!
Never was there a bigger change in American politics than going from Bill Clinton and Al Gore to George W. Bush and Dick Cheney. The change back from Bush and Cheney to Hillary and Bill will be just as stark.

Bigger even, because this time around the rightwing thugs in control of Congress won't be there to hog-tie every move the Clintons make and force Bill to compromise everything just to get anything done.

Change is coming, courtesy of the toughest and smartest little girl in national politics.

25. It would be nice to have a post about Hillary
without the usual jerks spewing venom faster than a Freeper. The only thing that they accomplish is making some of us revile their candidate of choice.

26. Why are anti-Hillary people the freepers? Arguably her supporters agree with them more than lefties
Edited on Tue Dec-18-07 03:14 AM by Dr Fate
and true moderates.

Most of the people who oppose Hillary are against her vote on the war, and are against the DLC's constant agreements with Bush.

So who finds more agreements with freepers on these 2 major issues of the era- a pro-impeachment, anti-occupation DUer or a pro-Hillary/ Pro/DLCer?

Hey- you brought freepers up, not me.

Many people disagree with Hillary and her DLC here-prefering other candidates- when they say so you call them freepers and jerks.
