Hillary Clinton Speaks to Crowd 12,000 Strong in El Paso (Video AWSOME!)
Last night in El Paso, Texas Hillary Clinton received a rock star welcome at a rally of supporters that was 12,000 strong. Anne Kornblut claims in the WaPo that Hillary was “booed” when she mentioned her “differences with Obama over health care and the mortgage crisis.” If she was booed it sure as hell could not be heard over the screaming of support for what Clinton was saying. Kornblut’s piece in the WaPo is highly indicative of the hit pieces the media is known for when it comes to reporting on Hillary Clinton.

The exuberance of the crowd in El Paso, Texas last night could not be mistaken when I watched the video of Hillary’s speech below. Watch the video here:

3. The sound isn't good, but the video is pretty impressive. Maybe Hil's best speech yet.
I'm an Obama supporter, but I like watching Hillary do her thing.

9. Great Speech... Loved it!
Edited on Fri Feb-15-08 11:24 AM by Tellurian
Bush is pretty well loved in Texas.. the (not so) native son routine plays well with them. She should focus on the 'do nothing' 'is nothing' to speak of Obama.. They could give a $#@% about him. Most have never heard of Obama. They can't evn pronounce his name. And the Hispanic community is the biggest in Texas..

I spent a month there around the 4th of July..talking to people.

There is where she will win them over. They know she is capable, now she needs to pick the right target...

10. Thank you, William
I've been sort of discouraged the past few days.

Thanks for cheering me up. :-)

15. There’s a vast difference between Hillary Clinton’s speeches and Barack Obama’s.
I have said that here more than a few times. While Obama talks about creating a movement, Clinton talks in concrete terms about getting things done that need to be done: health care, environmental jobs, fixing the economy, ending the dependency on foreign oil, doing away with NCLB, ensuring that students can go to college. Clinton barely mentions Obama in her speech and when she does, it is only to draw contrast between their plans."

17. Yes, I agree...The target should be Obama..
no matter how bad Bush is... he's considered a "local".. Obama on the other hand is prime real estate for the taking!

16. I think Howard Stern made an interesting point the other day
He backs Hillary, but he said that when she speaks, millions of men hear their wife or mother yelling at them about something.

19. Well....
That was always the rap about Al Gore. How when he spoke, it sounded like he was lecturing people.

I think Hillary is a good speaker. But then, I'm sort of biased.

21. True...it's not fair exactly
I don't think Hillary is a particularly gifted speaker. But she can be an effective speaker at times.

26. It's not so much the delivery
but rather the substance, the facts presented, and the promises of a better tomorrow. Promises that I hope will come to fruition. Sermons? No thanks.
