Weather slows Hillary, Obama campaigns


MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- A snow and ice storm has slowed Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama as they campaign in Wisconsin.

Clinton was scheduled to appear at a town hall meeting in DePere at 1 p.m. But her Wisconsin campaign spokeswoman, Carly Lindauer, says the event has been postponed until Monday morning.

Lindauer says it's too risky to travel to DePere and the campaign doesn't want people going out in the storm to get to campus.

Obama was scheduled to appear his own town hall meeting in Kaukauna at 3 p.m. That's been canceled due to weather.

Obama and Clinton take battle to Wisconsin

By John Whitesides and Caren Bohan Sat Feb 16, 10:47 PM ET

MILWAUKEE (Reuters) - Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton traded fresh attacks and touted their economic leadership on Saturday as they took their Democratic presidential duel to Wisconsin.
………

Clinton made her first campaign appearance in Wisconsin and promptly announced she would cut her state campaign schedule by a full day and leave on Monday, raising questions about her confidence in her chances in Tuesday's primary.

Her husband, former President Bill Clinton, has been in the state and her daughter, Chelsea, will stay on to campaign.

"We're going to be here through Monday, and given the press of all the events that are going on -- Chelsea will be back in the state, Bill obviously was here. We have great surrogates," Clinton


Yes, We Will!

Obama event in Kaukauna canceled

Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama has cancelled a planned appearance at Kaukauna High School this afternoon, his campaign announced. Severe weather in the Fox Valley area led the State Patrol to advise motorists to stay off the roads in the area and it was uncertain whether Obama's plane could fly in for the event. Kaukauna is between Appleton and Green Bay.

Plans remain in place for Monday, when Obama is scheduled to attend a rally in Beloit and his wife, Michelle, is planning to campaign in Milwaukee, Madison and LaCrosse.


Clinton Green Bay event postponed

Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton was forced to postpone her first stop today outside Green Bay due the winter storm that was causing havoc with campaign schedules two days before the Wisconsin Primary.

Clinton planned to re-schedule the event for tomorrow morning.

The revised schedule calls for the same location - Schuldes Sports Center at St. Norbert's College in De Pere - but tomorrow morning instead of today. Doors will open at 8 a.m., the campaign said.

Clinton aides said the change was made due to safety concerns involving both the campaign flying into the Green Bay area and people in the area getting to the event.

Clinton, who held a fundraiser this morning at the Pfister Hotel, still has events scheduled for later today in Wausau and Madison.

New Clinton economic message has echoes of Edwards

By Caren Bohan 40 minutes ago

MILWAUKEE, Wisconsin (Reuters) - White House hopeful Hillary Clinton has a message for hairdressers in Wisconsin, postal workers in Ohio and autoworkers across the United States who are struggling financially: She cares.


The former first lady and New York senator is hoping blue collar workers will provide her with a crucial base of support as she tries to erode the lead her rival Barack Obama has opened in the tight race to become the Democratic nominee in the November presidential election.

Clinton is courting working-class voters with a new message of economic populism similar to the theme of John Edwards, the former North Carolina senator who dropped out of the Democratic race in January.

Edwards never gained enough momentum to be competitive with Obama and Clinton, but the New York and Illinois senators are trying to woo his followers, many of whom were passionate about his pledge to take on "corporate greed" and bring change to a government he said had sold out the middle class.

Obama and Clinton are both seeking the endorsement of Edwards, who has so far remained neutral.

At campaign rallies over the last few days, Clinton has vowed to rein in corporate interests from oil companies to credit card issuers and mortgage lenders, contending that they are profiting at the expense of the middle class.

"Some days, it probably feels like the perfect storm. You fill up your tank, and that's two twenties from your wallet. You pick up a gallon of milk and a few other things -- and there goes another," Clinton told autoworkers on Thursday at a General Motors plant in Lordstown, Ohio.

......

POPULIST MESSAGE

While Edwards was able to galvanize working-class voters by vowing to champion their interests, his campaign faced some awkward moments when his lifestyle as a successful lawyer collided with the image he was seeking to project, such as when it was revealed that he had gotten a $400 haircut.

[midnight]

25. I'm an Edwards supporter.

This is what many people want to hear:

Hillary Rodham Clinton
Remarks to the U.N. 4th World Conference on Women Plenary Session

delivered 5 September 1995, Beijing, China



Mrs. Mongella, Under Secretary Kittani, distinguished delegates and guests:

I would like to thank the Secretary General of the United Nations for inviting me to be a part of the United Nations Fourth World Conference of Women. This is truly a celebration -- a celebration of the contributions women make in every aspect of life: in the home, on the job, in their communities, as mothers, wives, sisters, daughters, learners, workers, citizens and leaders.

It is also a coming together, much of the way women come together ever day in every country.

We come together in fields and in factories. We come together in village markets and supermarkets. We come together in living rooms and board rooms.

Whether it is while playing with our children in the park, or washing clothes in a river, or taking a break at the office water cooler, we come together and talk about our aspirations and concern. And time and again, our talk turns to our children and our families. However different we may be, there is far more that unites us than divides us. We share a common future, and are here to find common ground so that we may help bring new dignity and respect to women and girls all over the world. By doing this, we bring new strength and stability to families as well.

By gathering in Beijing, we are focusing world attention on issues that matter most in the lives of women and their families: access to education, health care, jobs and credit, the chance to enjoy basic legal and human rights and participate fully in the political life of their countries.

There are some who question the reason for this conference.

Let them listen to the voices of women in their homes, neighborhoods, and workplaces.

There are some who wonder whether the lives of women and girls matter to economic and political progress around the globe.

Let them look at the women gathered here and at Huairou -- the homemakers, nurses, teachers, lawyers, policymakers, and women who run their own businesses.

It is conferences like this that compel governments and people everywhere to listen, look and face the world’s most pressing problems.

Wasn’t it after the women’s conference in Nairobi ten years ago that the world focused for the first time on the crisis of domestic violence?

Earlier today, I participated in a World Health Organization forum, where government officials, NGOs, and individual citizens are working on ways to address the health problems of women and girls.

Tomorrow, I will attend a gathering of the United Nations Development Fund for Women. There, the discussion will focus on local -- and highly successful -- programs that give hard-working women access to credit so they can improve their own lives and the lives of their families.

What we are learning around the world is that if women are healthy and educated, their families will flourish. If women are free from violence, their families will flourish. If women have a chance to work and earn as full and equal partners in society, their families will flourish.

And when families flourish, communities and nations will flourish.

That is why every woman, every man, every child, every family, and every nation on our planet has a stake in the discussion that takes place here.

Over the past 25 years, I have worked persistently on issues relating to women, children, and families. Over the past two-and-a half years, I have had the opportunity to learn more about the challenges facing women in my own country and around the world.

I have met new mothers in Jojakarta and Indonesia, who come together regularly in their village to discuss nutrition, family planning, and baby care.

I have met working parents in Denmark who talk about the comfort they feel in knowing that their children can be cared for in creative, safe, and nurturing after-school centers.

I have met women in South Africa who helped lead the struggle to end apartheid and are now helping build a new democracy.

I have met with the leading women of the Western Hemisphere who are working every day to promote literacy and better health care for the children of their countries.

I have met women in India and Bangladesh who are taking out small loans to buy milk cows, rickshaws, thread and other materials to create a livelihood for themselves and their families.

I have met doctors and nurses in Belarus and Ukraine who are trying to keep children alive in the aftermath of Chernobyl.

The great challenge of this Conference is to give voice to women everywhere whose experiences go unnoticed, whose words go unheard.

Women comprise more than half the word’s population. Women are 70% of the world’s poor, and two-thirds of those are not taught to read and write.

Women are the primary caretakers for most of the world’s children and elderly. Yet much of the work we do is not valued -- not by economists, not by historians, not by popular culture, not by government leaders.

At this very moment, as we sit here, women around the world are giving birth, raising children, cooking meals, washing clothes, cleaning houses, planting crops, working on assembly lines, running companies, and running countries.

Women also are dying from diseases that should have been prevented or treated. They are watching their children succumb to malnutrition caused by poverty and economic deprivation. They are being denied the right to go to school by their own fathers and brothers. They are being forced into prostitution, and they are being barred from the band lending office and banned from the ballot box.

Those of us who have the opportunity to be here have the responsibility to speak for those who could not.

As an American, I want to speak up for those women in my own country—women who are raising children on the minimum wage, women who can’t afford health care or child care, women whose lives are threatened by violence, including violence in their own homes.

I want to speak up for mothers who are fighting for good schools, safe neighborhoods, clean air, and clean airwaves; for older women, some of them widows, who have raised their families and now find their skills and life experiences are not valued in the workplace; for women who are working all night as nurses, hotel clerks, and fast food cooks so that they can be at home during the day with their kids; and for women everywhere who simply don’t have time to do everything they are called upon to do each day.

Speaking to you today, I speak for them, just as each of us speaks for women around the world who are denied the chance to go to school, or see a doctor, or own property, or have a say about the direction of their lives, simply because they are women. The truth is that most women around the world work both inside and outside the home, usually by necessity.

We need to understand that there is no formula for how women should lead their lives.

That is why we must respect the choices that each woman makes for herself and her family. Every woman deserves the chance to realize her own God-given potential.

We also must recognize that women will never gain full dignity until their human rights are respected and protected.

Our goals for this Conference, to strengthen families and societies by empowering women to take greater control over their destinies, cannot be fully achieved unless all governments -- here and around the world -- accept their responsibility to protect and promote internationally recognized human rights.

The international community has long acknowledged -- and recently affirmed at Vienna -- that both women and men are entitled to a range of protections and personal freedoms, from the right of personal security to the right to determine freely the number and spacing of the children they bear.

No one should be forced to remain silent for fear of religious or political persecution, arrest, abuse or torture.

Tragically, women are most often the

Chelsea Clinton Greeted By Supporters
By Tammy Mori
As for the Clinton campaign, Chelsea Clinton made her way around Oahu today.

She made five appearances on behalf of her mother and was greeted by hundreds of supporters.
………….
But she did make an effort to meet hundreds of people face to face in hopes to encourage more voters to do their part.
……

Taking many by surprise...

"I was excited. Especially when she started moving over towards my table and said coffee was one of my favorite food groups," said Isaac Gillette, of Keopu Coffee.

……

Chelsea visited a Health care summit...one of the issues at the forefront of Hilary Clinton's campaign.

A reason why some local lawmakers are endorsing her.

"Universal health care, saving our health care system, somebody who understands we got to take care of the rural areas ," states Colleen Hanabusa, Senate President.

And finally chelsea took a break for lunch--- she came to the same place she and her dad ate in 1993.

…..
And it was these human touches- she made throughout the day that gave many local voters the sense that they really mattered.

"I just love the whole idea that there is actually a race. In my whole life this is probably the first real election i've been able to participate in," says Linda Marsh, Hawaii Kai Resident.

Tomorrow Chelsea Clinton will make her final campaign stop on the islands.

She is scheduled to speak at a Clinton rally tomorrow afternoon in Maui.

AUSTIN, TX - Texans for Hillary today announced the endorsement of several Rio Grande Valley elected officials, a list of supporters that continues to grow. In a show of support, the Rio Grande Valley elected officials stood behind Hillary Wednesday at her South Texas Kick-off Event in McAllen.

They know that she is the best candidate to deliver solutions in the future, because she has been delivering needed change to their lives for over 30 years," Congressman Ruben Hinojosa said.
"Hillary will work to fix our economy, expand access to affordable health care, and protecting our nation's soldiers. We stand with Hillary because she has and will continue to stand with us. They know she did not have to discover South Texas on a map when it came time to run for President. I think South Texas will play a big part in helping her carry Texas on March 4th. "

Derailed by Weather, Clinton Improvises in Wisconsin

By Jose Antonio Vargas
MILWAUKEE -- In campaignspeak, a day like this is called an "OTR." Not off the record, but off the rail, off the schedule, off the plan.

But when freezing rain and slippery roads derail a packed itinerary, you gotta do what you gotta do. Improvise.

Sen. Hillary Clinton was scheduled to speak at three rallies today in the
Badger State, first at St. Norbert College in De Pere, then at University of Wisconsin at Wassau, followed by an event in Madison. But bad weather across the state -- snow is due to fall any minute now -- has forced the campaign to cancel the first event. She's not the only one. Sen. Barack Obama canceled a town hall meeting in Kaukauna.

To replace the De Pere stop, Clinton dropped by Miss Katie's Diner, just a short drive away from her hotel, for a late breakfast, ordering eggs and hash browns. Flanked by Lt. Gov. Barbara Lawton and Rep. Tammy Baldwin, and trailed by traveling press corps of about 20, she shook hands, posed for photos and rattled the crowd.

………..

A short drive from Miss Katie's, Clinton stepped out of her black SUV and greeted shoppers and workers at El Rey, a Mexican grocery store in this city's south side. The store owner immediately announced in the store speaker: "Bienvideo, Hillary!" With Lawton by her side, Clinton toured the aisles, passing the cans of green pickled jalapeno peppers on sale for $2.09 a pop and snacking on chips and mole with roasted chicken that were being offered as samples near the produce section.

Though Clinton sent her daughter Chelsea and former president Bill Clinton to campaign for her across the state last week, Clinton just arrived here in Wisconsin yesterday. Her first event was at the Brat Stop, a landmark watering hole in Kenosha, about 30 miles south of Milwaukee and 50 miles north of Chicago. She received a warm, boisterous reception from the packed, shoulder-to-shoulder crowd, some of whom carried signs such as "Wisconsin HEARTS Hillary," "HRC # 1," "Hillary's the One!" and "Welcome, Hillary!" One her supporters yelled out loud: "I just want to say to the naysayers, 'Give 'em hell, Hillary!'"

66. even that was a lie--as Obama went to SC to talk to Edwards--

[MadBadger]

68. Obama went home after the Milwaukee Event. He couldnt get back into Wisco cuz of the Snow

So he went to NC to visit Edwards instead.

[rodeodance]

73. Hey--take your point up with the media (and obamakids who falsely reported where he was)

[MadBadger]

75. A "thanks for the info" would have done. Instead you resort to name calling of others.

4626978, Critical Reasons Why Women Need to Vote for Hillary Clinton
Posted by pathansen on Sun Feb-17-08 05:44 AM

Even if you don't agree with me, please read the following:

“Together with Attorney General Janet Reno, Clinton helped create the Office on Violence Against Women at the Department of Justice”
SOURCE: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hillary_Clinton

Hillary Clinton has also been a prominant international leader speaking out against Violence Against Women world wide:
“Hillary Clinton traveled to 79 countries during this time, breaking the mark for most-travelled First Lady held by Pat Nixon. In a September 1995 speech before the Fourth World Conference on Women in Beijing, Clinton argued very forcefully against practices that abused women around the world and in China itself, declaring "that it is no longer acceptable to discuss women's rights as separate from human rights" and resisting Chinese pressure to soften her remarks. She was one of the most prominent international figures at the time to speak out against the treatment of Afghan women by the Islamist fundamentalist Taliban that had seized control of Afghanistan.<149><150> She helped create Vital Voices, an international initiative sponsored by the United States to promote the participation of women in the political processes of their countries.”
SOURCE: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hillary_Clinton

She has also spoken out strongly against mutilation of Muslim girls. I understand around 95% of young Muslim girls in Africa are mutilated, the equivalent of male castration, and without pain killers.

BILLS HILLARY HAS SPONSORED JUST IN THE LAST YEAR TO HELP WOMEN:
SOURCE: http://www.govtrack.us/congress/person.xpd?id=300022&tab=bills

S. 1240: Compassionate Assistance for Rape Emergencies Act of 2007
S. 2415: Protection Against Transmission of HIV for Women and Youth Act of 2007
S. 1816: National Women's Rights History Project Act
S. 1800: Compassionate Care for Servicewomen Act
S. 1075: Unintended Pregnancy Reduction Act of 2007
S. 766: Paycheck Fairness Act

If you look at the same very record in the last year for Obama, I found no bills to help women.
SEE: http://www.govtrack.us/congress/person.xpd?tab=bills&id=400629

If you study more about Hillary Clinton’s background, you will also notice that throughout the last 35 years she has been a strong advocate for protecting not just women but children, the sick, and even animal protection groups give her excellent ratings. Children, animals and often sick people are not able to vote. These facts indicate to me a lot about her true character: a highly compassionate person who cares about the vulnerable being abused.

[rodeodance]

74. Of course you read it here on DU---**from the Obamacampers**

[AtomicKitten]

76. nice try

The sloppiness of her campaign is reflected in your inability to keep up with the story line right here at DU ... The search function rules (and is not your friend).

[rodeodance]

78. I am glad that I was able to set you straight.

[AtomicKitten]

80. I accept your apology: It takes a big DU'er to admit they are wrong.

Clinton postpones 2 campaign stops, still plans Wausau visit

Associated Press - February 17, 2008 3:15 PM ET

MADISON, Wis. (AP) - Wisconsin's nasty weather has forced Hillary Clinton to postpone a Madison rally.

The weather also forced Clinton to postpone a town hall meeting in DePere set for Sunday afternoon. She's still expected to show up at a Wausau town meeting later Sunday afternoon, though.

Clinton's campaign has rescheduled the DePere appearance to 9:30 a.m. Monday. Her workers say she'll hold the Madison rally -- originally scheduled for Sunday night -- sometime tomorrow, too.

Clinton's rival for the Democratic presidential nomination, Barack Obama, canceled his only appearance Sunday, set for mid-afternoon in Kaukauna, because of the weather.

91. Campaign schedule: Clinton will try again Monday in De Pere WI--**update

Campaign schedule: Clinton will try again Monday in De Pere

Press-Gazette

Here’s a schedule of campaign visits to Northeastern Wisconsin and the rest of the state in advance of the Tuesday’s presidential primary:

New York Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton and Illinois Sen. Barack Obama -- both seeking the Democratic presidential nomination -- called off today's events in De Pere and Kaukauna, respectively, because of a winter storm.

Clinton's event will be Monday morning. Obama's 3 p.m. town hall meeting at Kaukauna High School was canceled.

Monday

# Clinton will speak at the Schuldes Sports Center on the St. Norbert College campus in De Pere at 9:30 a.m. Monday. The doors will open at 8 a.m.

She also plans to speak later in the day at in Wausau and Madison, but no times have been set for those events.

[berni_mccoy]

93. I know I'm helping to keep this kicked, but don't you find it odd that this is the THIRD update

to an already RE-scheduled schedule... I mean, CMON for goodness sakes, isn't anyone in her campaign MAKING DECISIONS?

[rodeodance]

94. well ask old man Winter---he knows all and does not blame it on Clinton

[berni_mccoy]

99. Um, Obama is not flip-flopping like this and he's there and will be there until he's done.

Honestly, all this changing around of schedules, and re-arranging changes, it doesn't look good for someone who is asking the people to put her in charge. It doesn't bother you at all? It would bother me if Obama's campaign was doing this.

[rodeodance]

100. Hillary came Sat. will not leave till Monday night. schedules re-vised cause of blizzard. What

it that bothers you?

I can't help it if snow interferred, and you can't help it that Obama had to cancel his sanday afternoon Kaukaunna visit. Reasonable people understand blizzards.

Now. what is your problem.

[rodeodance]

101. BTW--Obama fly out early this am to SC. He is not HERE in WI. ? back

[rodeodance]

102. so, by you uniformed "logic" Obama is " flip-flopping"

107. Bill stumps for Hillary in South Austin (TX, Sunday)

Clinton campaign opens up shop in South Austin
Reporter: Cody Garrett
Email: [e-mail]
Last Update: 1:24 am


Former gubernatorial candidate Garry Mauro said he was surprised by the turnout of volunteers, many of whom were fixated on a "how-to-caucus" presentation in the 15,000-square-foot warehouse off Ben White and I-35 that formerly served as Texas campaign headquarters for the Kinky Friedman for Governor campaign of two years ago.
………

For a primer on how the primary/caucus works, look here.

Mauro said Obama has yet to win a big state, and he suggested the Illinois senator's Congress Avenue headquarters was something of an extravagant expense, indicative of the kind of voters Obama appeals to.

“We're Dunkin' Donuts Democrats," he said.

Mauro, who has firsthand knowledge of how difficult it can be for Democrats to win in Texas, said with Hillary at the top of the ticket, the state will once again be competitive in the general election.

Last Update: 4:09 pm


Former President Bill Clinton arrived in Austin late Saturday to make the case for his wife to win Texas' crucial Democratic primary/caucus.

Clinton said Hillary was right for Texas and noted that the Lone Star State could decide the nominee.

Texans vote Mar. 4.

The former president talked about Hillary's role registering Mexican Americans to vote in the 1972 primary, and he thanked the Austin staff for what he said was a strong effort.
