Ill say this about Hillary

[Egnever]

I just got back from seeing her here in Las Vegas. I am not sure if its possible to have her as VP after the way her campaign was run or the Vetting problem with Bills library, but she is on board. She is a great campaigner when she stays possitive and she was nothing but possitive for Obama today.

It is sad that she chose to go with the Kitchen sink strategy after it was already too late. It has made many people that would be behind her as VP distrustful of her myself included.

It could have been a slam dunk but is not because of the actions of her campaign. She showed a lot of class today though and she even talked over loud people in the crowd that were encouraging her to buy into a divisive message.

My days of thinking Hillary is not on board are officially over today.

I still don't think Obama will make her VP but if he does I will be OK with it.

Thanks Hillary you did great today.

1. always good to hear a ground report - thanks. nt

[lisa58]

2. That's good news - thanks for that.

[Captain Hilts]

3. This was not a dirty campaign.

It really wasn't. She didn't touch Rev. Wright or Michelle Obama's comments about patriotism. A dirty campaigner would have done that.

I'm glad she came off well today.

I don't think she's VP material for a lot of reasons. He should choose whomever he feels comfortable working with.

[DesertFlower]

5. she did bring up reverend wright.

don't you remember the ABC debate?

[Evergreen Emerald]

39. stop. the. lies.

She was asked a question and answered it. God you people will never give up.

[Levgreee]

6. "It really wasn't. She didn't touch Rev. Wright..."

You can't choose your family, but you can choose your pastor.
I definitely would have left that church.

There was no need to do much more, because the media did the work for her.

4. I still think the "kitchen sink" thing was Bill and Penn overriding her....

I just don't believe that's the way she wanted to go. It's just a feeling. But that they could override her was a problem as a presidential candidate, and remains a problem as a potential VP candidate, as far as I'm concerned.

[Egnever]

8. You could be right

[writes3000]

9. WONDERFUL to hear. Thank you for sharing. Here's the thing: Obama & Hillary need each other.

I'm not saying his must pick her as VP. But I do believe their political futures will be linked for some time to come.

Obama needs her support and endorsement. And down the line, Hillary will need his.

I hope they realize that sooner rather than later.

[Egnever]

14. Obama does need her support

Cause if she decided to be nasty she could stir it up enough to get Mcain elected. I think Her performance today suggests she plans on being a powerful senator from new york instead, or perhaps though It would still make me very nervous VP.

[Arkansas Granny]

11. Thanks for the report. I hope this helps to allay some of the speculation around here concerning

Senator Clinton's motives.

[Egnever]

18. Me too

She really did well today.

[TexasObserver]

12. That's good news

[ErinBerin84]

13. thanks for the report!

:hi:

[DFLforever]

15. Cheers for HIllary!

[jesus_of_suburbia]

16. That's my girl. I know she's gonna support our candidate and get him elected come November.

That's why I get pissed when people diss her.

[JoFerret]

38. It's they who have the problem

(whatever it is) - not Hillary.

[Motown_Johnny]

17. Good for her... and us all.... I hope to see more events like this before the convention

[darius15]

19. I hate it when people here trash her

she is on board. End of story.

[ronnykmarshall]

20. OK ...... I'll say it.

Thank you.

[PresidentObama]

21. Thanks for telling the truth n/t

[Egnever]

23. Did you think I would lie?

[PresidentObama]

26. No, I meant some DUers would lie even Hillary gave the biggest and best speech in favor of Obama.

Sorry if I worded that incorrectly.

[Egnever]

28. Np I could see where you might think I would lie about it

Lord knows I am not her biggest fan.

[eshfemme]

37. Then I hope that Hillary gives the biggest and bestest speech for Obama then. :D

[ruggerson]

22. Did you ask her any questions?

:)

[Egnever]

24. I didnt get a chance to we got there late

The front section was already packed and I had my boy with me. She didnt take questions from the crowd.

I did see some mcsame supporters there though outside. One even had the balls to fill his front windshield with a mccain sign out in the depths of the parking lot.

[IndianaGreen]

25. I think Hillary, while problematic for some, is what the ticket needs to win

She is an attack dog, which is what the Veep nominee is supposed to be.

[Egnever]

27. I dont think she needs to be on the ticket to win

I do think she is one hell of a campaigner when she sticks to the positives. After watching her today I can see where she probably would do more good than harm on the ticket. Something that I was very worried about before.

There was certainly a lot of love in the room for her today. For Obama as well. And Dina Titus !

[bigwillq]

29. That's cool.

As long as she shows a united front in public then all is good. I read a few threads on what is (or what may be going on) inside the Clinton campaign (all these internal e-mails), and I think it's only natural for the camps to make some comments that may not be kosher if they were made public. I'm sure it happens in the Obama camp and in the Dean camp and in the Kucinich camp, etc, etc, etc. But as long as everyone's united publicly then I am cool.


I know there are some things said in private at my company that wouldn't look so good if they were made public. It happens.

[JohnnyLib2]

30. Good to hear.

Thanks.

[smoogatz]

31. Plus, no love child.

Credit where credit is due, etc.

[Motown_Johnny]

33. No Love Child... that we know of

[goodgd_yall]

32. Thanks for the positive report! n/t

[jillan]

34. Hillary gives great stump speeches.

She's very positive and connects well with the audience.

Thanks for the report :)

[Marrah_G]

35. Thank you

[Egnever]

36. My pleasure

[DevonRex]

40. Thanks for the report. I've been making an effort to be more

positive about Hillary and you have reinforced my decision to do so.

[SuperTrouper]

41. I like Hillary a lot. I am happy that she is campaigning hard for Obama

I would like her to go on the attack against McShame. Kerry, Hillary and Biden know McCane best, they should be all over the news unmasking that hypocrite
