Questions #4:

Hey Hillary you are such a great person I went to a rally of yours during the primary in New Hampshire & did some campaigning for you here in albany ny you put a smile on my face every time I saw you whether in person or on tv. You are a strong women don't give up keep fighting for whats right. I hope our country can take a new step in the right direction once Barack Obama is president. I want to say if he does ask you to be his VP you should and you would make a great vice president Mrs. Clinton:)
God Bless

Answer:

I have said repeatedly that I will do whatever Senator Obama asks me to do. I am really focused and enjoying being back in the Senate and working on behalf of my New York constituents. This is Senator Obama’s decision and his alone and I am going to respect the privacy of that process by not discussing it.

Question #9

Are you truly supporting Senator Obama and encouraging your supporters to do the same or are you just saying what you have to?

by JR4Hill at 8/7/2008 12:46:53 PM

Answer: Let me first say, I am so grateful for all the support that I have received. To answer your question, I am completely committed to helping Senator Obama become the next President of the United States and urging all of you to do the same. We share a commitment to universal healthcare, bringing an end to the war in Iraq, and getting back to an economy that works for working families again. I believe so strongly that if we want to see real progress in our country and finally break away from the failed policies of the past eight years, we need a Democrat in the White House. I am going to continue to do whatever I can to help Senator Obama and Democrats across the country win in the November.

pretty clear statement i think

[scheming daemons]

1. That IS a good statement from her.....

Do you have a link for the other questions she was asked?

[SwampG8r]

2. sorry

http://blog.hillaryclinton.com/
still on now
keep refreshing and new questions and answers will come up

[cbc5g]

3. The VP speculation continues

;)

[KittyWampus]

4. did you know the McCain money bundler scandal involves a guy who also gathered money for Clinton?

[Whisp]

6. that wouldn't surprise me at all.

you have a link?

[SwampG8r]

7. no i dont

and if anyone thinks im going to waste bandwidth defending hillary you are wrong
i am no fan
but a lot of ugly talk has been going on lately and her own words should carry some weight
im posing this because i asked people to submit questions and i felt obligated to post the responses
when i saw what she said i felt further obligated to post those comments as they refute in her own words what many have said
im an asshat but an equal opportunity asshat

[SuperTrouper]

5. I am satisfied in her honesty answering those questions

I still hope to see Hillary as VP

[SwampG8r]

8. this is from today starting at noon

[SwampG8r]

9. and this

Question #11

Good Morning Senator Clinton:
Thank you for taking time to chat with your supporters. Is there any possibility of your name being placed in nomination for President at the convention? This would at least give your supporters a voice in the choice for the party's nominee.

Answer: I know that there have been a lot of questions on this subject. Senator Obama and I share the goal of ensuring that the voices of everyone who participated in this historic process are respected. I want to assure everyone we are working together with Senator Obama's campaign and the DNC, and I am confident we will have a successful and unified Convention in Denver.

10. is it the positivity of this thread that keeps everyone from responding?

this is good news right from the horses mouth so to speak
unbelieveable the lack of response

[quakerboy]

11. It is good that she says such things

I sincerely hope that the rumors of other things are just so much M$M crap. I think that the Bill speaking thing is a very good sign that what we are seeing is misreporting, the truth and the people behind it all have come to an amenable understanding.

[CitizenLeft]

12. I'm sitting on the Wait-N-See fence...

With Bill's ABC interview, he worries me. All I know is, at this point, Hillary has proven to be a more savvy politician than her husband, something I wouldn't have said 8 months ago. She surely is still disappointed after losing the nom - that's only natural - but she's gone on to put a good face forward, and when she speaks, she's convincing. Takes guts to do that. I'm of the opinion that his open heart surgery did effect his personality, or, more precisely, his ability to filter his feelings. That's not a rap, it's common for those who go under for such a long surgical procedure to suffer some loss in... something, whether it's memory or comprehension... it's common. We might be seeing a little of that.

13. Glad to see this.

[Kaylee]

14. I sincerely hope that she lives by these statements....

I must admit I was getting worried with some recent stories. All I ask for is a drama-less convention.
