Clinton tries to Woo Iowa Dems
EmailABC News’ Eloise Harper reports: Hillary Clinton heavily praised the Polk County Iowa Democrats while speaking at their dinner Friday night.
"The Polk county Democrats, the epicenter of the Democratic party, therefore the epicenter of America, therefore the epicenter of the world!" Clinton shouted.
Sen. Clinton, who arrived an hour and a half late due to weather delays, reminisced about the hot August days she spent in Iowa this past summer. Specifically, she fondly remembered the Iowa state fair, "I saw the butter cow; the thing I loved about the butter cow was the butter cow and Harry Potter. Right?"
"And then I got to eat a wonder bar which I never had before. Then I got to flip pork chops on the grill, and then I got to eat pork chops and I got to eat my way from one way of the fair to another."
The conversation inevitably turned to President Bush. Clinton energetically said, "Well I’m not talking sorry anymore." Clinton then referred to current state of healthcare in this country, "we are going to make the insurance companies sorry."
Clinton also spoke about President Bush’s veto of SCHIP, as she has frequently this past week. "I think what our response should be is we need to veto President Bush and the Republicans and their policies."
Clinton has three more events throughout Iowa today where she is spending her 37th day campaigning in the Hawkeye state.

Is there anyone more phoney than Hillary? Talking about butter cows and pork chops? Who gives a crap about that? All her speeches are nothing but condesending bilge. Are the good people of Iowa, and America for that matter, really that gullible and dense, as to be fooled by this charlatan? God help us all if this is the best we can do.

This woman has too much baggage. She is not the right person for the job. Please America we can do better.

Oh please – Edwards and Obama give these exact same type of talks in Iowa. Are they pandering too?
As for as I can tell, this is nothing more than sour grapes.

Koko said “This woman has too much baggage. She is not the right person for the job. Please America we can do better.”
I agree. She’s not the right person for any job in the public sector. Her feelings of entitlement and self rightousness are only exceeded by her massive ego.

It seems no matter what Hillary Clinton says, what she wears, how she eats, etc. etc. she will get demonized by her haters. That’s the problem with people in this country and America will continue to be divided by itself for a long time. People need to look for good attributes in the candidates and stop dishing and digging up old dirt. The last time I checked, no one was born perfect. Stop the hating!
