Clinton: ‘This is the Exciting Part’
EmailABC News’ Kate Snow and Eloise Harper Report: Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-NY, once described going negative as the "fun part." Today in a press availability in Texas, she described the state of the race as the "exciting part." After suffering eight straight losses Clinton did not dwell on her losses in Virginia and Maryland, instead she spoke about Texas and the issues in this state that is critical to her campaign.
"I want to congratulate Sen. Barack Obama, D-Illi., on his recent victories and tell him to meet me in Texas, we’re ready” Clinton said. “This is the exciting part of the campaign. Where you really get down to saying, ‘OK, what are the differences? how do we draw the distinctions?’"
Clinton said she is not prepared to give this up and recognizes that there is a long road ahead. "There are hundreds of delegates that will be in play on March the 4th, we are well organized and well positioned, this is a long journey to the nomination."
Clinton dismissed her opponent’s victory in Maryland, and used her husband to compare as she has done repeatedly in the past. "I think everybody knew he was favored there. My husband lost Maryland when he was running in the primaries."
Clinton refused to admit that the momentum has shifted toward Senator Obama, "Some weeks one of us is up and the other is down and then we reverse it."
Clinton rejected the notion that her campaign is currently joyless. "That’s not what’s going on we have a tremendous amount of energy" Clinton said.
"This is the back and forth of a campaign. Now its on to Texas, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Wisconsin next week. This is a very competitive campaign and we need to make sure that the people voting here in these states know what’s at stake."
Clinton informed reporters that she has not loaned her campaign any more money, and has no plans to do so.

Now if she can just get to a smoke filled room outside the Denver Convention Center and cut some deal$ with the superdelegates….

Typical Hillary, won’t say anything until she figures which way the wind is blowing, even for a simple congratulation for Obama’s victories which didn’t happen until she saw all of the outrage at that behavior.

I love the paradox:
“Don’t compare me to Bill.”
“I wear the pantsuits.”
“I will be the President.”
“Oh, but my husband didn’t do well in Maryland either.”
“Oh But Bill didn’t do well in caucuses.”
She is her own worst enemy.

Headlines show Obama “talking” about the economics in Wisconsin. HIllary on the other hand introduced the Mortgage Refinancing Initiative Act and now even the Current administration is starting to adopt the policy. Change I want a “DOER” not a “TALKER”

This is the exciting part. America is showing anything thing is possibly. Who could have imagined the historic rise of Barrack Obama in this campaign. Who could have imagined This. America is truly ready for the change we so desperately need.

Obama has substance AND inspiration…the two are not exclusive. His Policy papers are available on his site. Highly respected, Paul Volkner, head of the Federal Reserve during the Carter and Reagan years has endorsed Obama and his economic plan.

Last night I watched Headline News channel and learned that in the past Obama voted for something about abortion so that even the baby is alive after the abortion the baby isn’t considered a person. I’m not sure exactly how this thing got put, but this tells us something bad about him that is simply unacceptable and despicable.

she has never run a corner store, a business, or even a corporation. If she’s having trouble running her own campaign successfully with her FRIENDS around her (at least the ones that haven’t resigned) how does she plan on running an entire country?

So apparently, the Clinton shakeup has hired some of Rudy and Mitt’s advisers. She’s self-funded; not paying her staffers; and staking everything on the big states.

The People are too smart. A campaign can no longer throw out a controversial tidbit and expect the Public to swallow it without further exploration. The old Politics won’t do…the American People are fed up!

No doubt the Obama folks had a massive victory last night and they are back on the blogs, still mad as hell. Wow! Now that is nasty. Hey, just chill. Enjoy yourselves. You had a wonderful night. Have a party. Try and find some joy somewhere in your life. But no. You’re still here sprouting your vile. I can take a loss. Life still goes on. I’m still hoping for better days. But I have no reason to hate Obama because he kicked our butt. Wish I could say the same about the folks who support Obama.

If Hillary cannot manage money contributed by her supporters, how can she manage the ECONOMY?
She talks about health care, but wants to PICK THE POCKETS of the American people. It is their money, the gov’t should not force garnishment upon their wages. How can someone who makes $7.50/Hr pay for health care, the garnishment is greater than the take home pay.
Hillary – Quit already.
Posted by: Robin | February 13, 2008, 2:23 pm 2:23 pm
How did she run out of money? Her campaign spent $500,000 on valet parking for staff in the last two years. Her campaign blows $3,000 on seafood take out dinners for 24 people (that’s $125 a pop). She flies everywhere in chartered private jets. If you are still thinking of sending your 50$ to her, just remember that you will be paying the bill for valet parking, shrimp and champagne, and private jets.
This woman will say an do anything. Who the heck wants Bill back in the White House and this race baiting witch there too, fighting out the psycho-drama of their marriage in the public eye. Clintonn fatigue? How about Clinton exhaustion?
Posted by: Kevin | February 13, 2008, 2:32 pm 2:32 pm
My goodness, you people are insane to think for one second that Hillary has to give up something as passionate as running for President of the United States because Obama finally is getting some momentum. She is a doer not a talker, and if some of you Obama supporters would stop and listen to him, much of what he says, he bites off of her. He doesn’t have the substance of the qualifications to lead a country that will have so many challenges for the new President to have to fix. Outside of all of the rhetoric, he is now trying to invoke policy in his rally-long speeches that the voters have been waiting to hear. This race is far from over, so don’t count out Hillary Clinton, because the ditches that many you are digging for her, will be the very one that Sen. Obama falls in. Way to go, Hillary!!!
Posted by: faithnhrc | February 13, 2008, 2:35 pm 2:35 pm
I listened carefully to Obama’s winning speech in Wisconsin last night. This is how I paraphrase what I heard: “The United States is OK. The United States is not OK. I am where I am because the United States is a great country where opportunity abounds.The United States is not OK. Washington is to blame for everything wrong. I can fix everything “, and finally perhaps the only truth: “if all I promise could have been done it would have already been done”!!! The man contradicted himself about 20 times during this speech. Just listen carefully and analyze.

Hillary needs to find her authentic voice and stick with it. I’ve listened to her for several months now and she is constantly changing what she says and how she says it. It isn’t exactly a flip-flop but it is disconcerting to never know which candidate is showing up.
She also needs to retire all references to Bill, her husband. She claims to be running for President and be responsible for her own campaign, yet every time something goes wrong, she brings BC up. She needs to divorce herself from the reference.
Also, she needs to cut back on her claim to experience. In fact, the 35 years is a stretch, just as claiming to be the spouse of a president is the same thing as gaining experience as a president.
Finally, the worst thing she can do is go negative. People have long associated her (and Bill) with manipulation and hard-headed tactics. If she wants us to believe she is a compassionate democrat, she needs to stay positive and not remind us of the worst aspects of her previous campaigns.

I’m so glad to see that the phrase
the Obama Kool-Aid has taken hold on the blogs. For all the Hillary haters out there you can have an extra dose of Obama Kool-aid, it will help when the disappointment sets in. Judge not according to appearances folks, the race is not over yet. Obama is just the man of the moment and probably too soon. Change is coming and it’s coming soon for Obama, the neophyte. Ride it high while u can Obama and if you do get the nomination be prepared to be brought to your knees. That smug smile is going to be wiped away when the real dirt comes out on Obama Hussein. Hopefully, though Hillary supporters in Texas, Ohio and Pennsylvania will save the democratic party from what is sure to be a complete disaster ending up with the status quo retaining power. All the Pointer Sister songs in the world won’t help when it becomes “No We Didn’t”. HILLARY is the best bet for real leadership and Obama would do well to secure the VP spot where he belongs.
But hurry Obama supporters a new batch of KOOL-AID with extra brainwashing sweeteners is being made righ now. Wake up people. Hillary is right. Caucuses do not represent the electorate and activists and block voting will fail in America. HOPE – Hillary. CHANGE – Hillary. Leadership – Hillary. Experience – Hillary. Show Biz – OBAMA!!

People are fallen into Obama’s trap. Without the people who run the campaign for him (they ran for Bill Clintons before); who wrote his speech; he won’t have a stand in this contest. People are sleeping with Obama’s rhetoric and forgetting about the reality. Dreams and hopes inspire our mind. Conquering the reality is a much harder job to do. In the debates or in the interviews, all Obama’s rhetoric went away and he showed the lack of experience and naïve. He used a lot of big words, but he did not show much of how to archive them. He said he supported the right to have guns when he went to Idaho to get the votes there, but he apposed it before. He said he supported driver license for illegal immigrants (to take the votes from Hispanics); it seemed like any body can successfully sneak in US, he/she can legally apply for driver license. It’s just such an irresponsible though. He said that he will sit down with the dictators around the world on his first day in the office; what is the pride of US, a president of US? He said he will hit terrorists in any country without the need to talk; another irresponsible talk to take votes. He compared himself with Google to prove that even he is inexperienced but he can be succeeding; what a naïve comparison is? Does he know Google’s history? Base on the statistic, how many young dot.com companies survive the crash? Just only a few percentage. A lot more…Watch all the debates carefully then you all see him in daylight. Voting for Obama is rolling the dice. He is a flash of the century and hope that he won’t win the presidency. Hitler inspired people and rallied them in the wrong way.

I think the fear of an Obama nomination have made some of the posters so scared they are resorting to hyperbole. Sorry to report that the world will not end if Obama is nominated (and elected) but it just may be that our outlook changes, our relationships with foreign countries improve, and our ability to pass legislation improved. For all your support of candidate Clinton, she remains a divisive figure who may indeed force another Republican into the WH as a result of her nomination. And if you look back on her record, there is no indication that her nature lends itself to working across aisles. Sure, she has been mild since she became senator but that is in part because she has done nothing at all. Look back to when she was trying to make a difference with health care by jamming it down throats and refusing to compromise. We don’t need that type of mentality in the WH making decisions.
Add to that the way she is conducting her campaign: how can she claim to be the most electable, most experienced, when she has run low on funds (and we want her to manage our national economy?), made poor decisions in campaign staff (and we want her to nominate supreme court justices and political operatives?), and fallen behind in voter support (inability to sell a product when being president is all about salemenship). What does she bring to the table? Why should I vote for her? I see nothing that will advance my interests or my country’s interest.

The Obama folks better start thinking and thinking real soon because should Obama win it all he’s going to need us Clinton folks a heck of a lot more than we need you. Right now there are so many ticked off Clinton folks, and I’m just one of thousands, who constantly read the ugly hate posted by Obama supporters I will gladly hold my nose and vote Republican. I will gladly fight anyone on experience and platform but I will not engage in hate talk. I want to believe I am better than that.
Posted by: Marlene | February 13, 2008, 3:14 pm 3:14 pm
Why doesn’t Obama address the hate politics against Clinton…Obama, reign in your “folks”, or will you allow the same behavior once you are in the presidency? Your (in) actions now speaks volumes. And yes, Marlene is correct, I have been so saddened by the way a patriot such as Hillary has been treated by the Obamabots, that I may either vote for McCain, or for the first time in my adult life, not vote for a presidential candidate. Stop the negativity, cloked behind this empty message of hope.
It is not hope we dislike, it’s the lack of experience. Hillary inspires me and gives me hope!!!

Kitty,
There are as many if not more Obama supporters that feel the same way about Hillary. You are 100% wrong. The 20% of indepndent voters in the US are voting for Obama not Hillary. Hillary is priamrily getting longtime Dems. Obama will get his share of Dems, Independetsn and Repubs in November. In fact, with all the baggage Hillary has, she needs us more.
Posted by: ron | February 13, 2008, 3:26 pm 3:26 pm
After eight primary defeats and the loss of critical campaign managers it is appropriate for everyone to give Hillary Clinton a break. Everyone, including Obama, needs to provide her a path for a dignified withdrawl.
Now that the tide is rising, Obama had better beware of the opportunists that will be wanting to join the bandwagon. Even Bill’s former campaign manager is sighing up with Obama! Perhaps Obama can ask him to smooth the ruffeled feathers in the Clinton camp.
Give Hillary Clinton a dignified way out.

Thank you for your comment Kitty and for the most part genuine questions. Now, I like seeing a campaign having a problem, in this case money shortage, if only to see how a candidate will act under stress and what if any action said candidate does to address his/her problems and if he/she has the capacity to develop strategy to deal with said issue. Thirteen million and rising for Hillary so the money problem is now addressed. That does give me some idea how a candidate handles heavy stress, not unlike the job as president, where issues and problems are a daily part of presidential life. How does she deal with losing? I think I’m getting a very clear picture of Hillary and I’m liking what I see because as you well know a president does not win all he/she wants so this is critical in my thinking process. She’s still standing and fighting for what she believes is right. I can admire that because to be president you have to get up the next day and fight for what you believe even when you lose the day before.

“Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-NY, once described going negative as the ‘fun part.’ Today in a press availability in Texas, she described the state of the race as the ‘exciting part.’”
Just yet another indication that, when it comes to Washington politics, Hillary is part of the problem. Barack Obama is part of the solution.
Posted by: Andy | February 13, 2008, 3:56 pm 3:56 pm
Marlene,
I respect your right to support your candidate, but here are even more questions that have me wonder about Clinton’s judgment: the way she has belittled the states where she has lost is painful to witness. Why does she feel the need to do that? When she loses, she rarely acknowledges the loss or the winner, which I consider to be less than gracious. Why can’t she simply acknowledge the reality and move on with a statement of how she is going to do better? Why, when it was know as far back as Iowa that her organization wasn’t working as well it is should, did she wait until this weekend for a shake-up? Why does she cancel visits and leave states early once she has determined she can’t win them? Aren’t her supporters worth staying for? If she thinks she can manage the US economy, why didn’t she know how short of cash her own campaign was? Why, knowing the Obama has already agreed to two debate, does she insinuate he is afraid to debate her in Wisconsin, where he is currently campaigning while she is in Texas? When she was running for Senate in NY state, she refused to debate the Republican candidate when he challenged her because it wasn’t to his advantage, so why does she think Obama ‘owes’ her something now? Why should I support her universal health care coverage which threatens to garnish wages for non-compliance? Is that the American way?
There are so many questions and so few answers. Yes, I agree that she is to be admired for fighting; I wonder do you feel the same way about Huckabee were you Republican? How about Ron Paul? These folks get up every day after disastrous primaries and keep fighting. Does that mean they should all be president? Doesn’t it require more than doggedness to be elected?

I am a liberal and a lifelong democrat, and open to different lifestyles, but I firmly believe that using cocaine is a BIG DEAL. Even if it is one time, in college.
And you better believe its going to emerge as a BIGGER DEAL in the general election.
Everyone having a hissy fit becuse the BET guy mentioned it is way off base. If you can’t talk about the things that will be discussed in a general election, then we are shooting ourselves in the foot as Democrats.
Obama will be toast against any republican. Wake up people!

Thank you, Kitty. I do believe Obama left Nevada without wishing Hillary well before count was final with Hillary leading. He did not congratulate her then either. But that’s neither here nor there. I suppose we can both pull up garbage if we choose, but it would be nice if we both were to stop here. I respect your choice and I wish you well. You have the better hand right now and I salute your campaign. However I do stand by my original post.

I think everyone needs to take a step back and look at the realat what is going on. I read al of the post and everyone is so passionate about there Gal/Guy that you all have resorted to name calling so on and so forth I even read that a Clinton supporter would rather support McCain if Obama got the nod instead of her. I you go back and really look It was the Clintons that started the hate spewing first and the name callings. A lot of you Obama haters seem to have a deeper problem and will not admit to it. and that is cool. Let me say this to you How many of you Americans miss traveling outside of the U.S.A? Miss our number 1 statis in the world. Do you honestly think with Hillary in the office you will be free like the old days to come and go to and fro as you please. The only way to prove to the rest of the world that this Country is ready to move foward from our troubled and racist past is to show with actions rather than talk a good game. The Game is old and I’m sorry to all of you hillary supporters but she is “Oldschool Washington”and as a Country we don’t need that anymore. Its time to start thinking about our future and kids future. I want someone that will help “Me” shake up Washington, return the government bact to the people, I want some one who is not affraid to go and talk to those so called “Axis of Evil” Nations. And find out why in Gods good name do they hate us so much instead of saying We don’t talk to terriost nations. Mabe just maybe if listen to what they have to say and I mean listen, we might learn somthing and who knows get people to trust us again and see we are truly a Christian Nation like we claim we are. What do you think Jesus would do? Bomb them to Holy Hell or try a more Christian approach and show Humiality and compassion for our fellow Man???

When the Rezko deal goes more public and they see there is more than a 12 year relationship between him and the slumlord(Rezko) deal, Mr. Obama is going to have alot of explaining to do.
If he took all this dirty money from Rezko (and before all you Obama supporters get on the bandwagon about HIllary’s dirty laundry), she won’t be an excuse anymore, because it will just be between Obama and McCain.
Let’s face it people, McCain is an MArican Hero. Loves his country. Fought in the war. Was a POW.
There is talk he may go more leniant on the soilders in Iraq and bring some home. Just a small base stationed there. Believe me, those of us who are pro-life and have moral values (as the Christians, Catholics, undecided and women) will probably go for McCain. Just in my inner circle of catholics, if Hillary does not get the nomination, we are all voting for McCain.
Don’t let Obama fool you with his lies…he says Repulicans are whispering in his ear they are going to vote for him. He is the master-mind of deceit.
Posted by: norman | February 13, 2008, 4:18 pm 4:18 pm
Norman,
Obama’s line about whispering Republicans is just another performace. All his speeches are performances, I want to see the policies. I’m really afraid Obama is a puppet for all the big democrats on his campaign. I think Hillary has enemies because she has taken positions on issues, and that makes people mad. Obama has lots and lots of friends, because he has no history. That is not a good thing, as so many are saying. He’ll be torn apart in Washington. Right now, it’s just a good MARKETING CAMPAIGN.
Posted by: gracie2008 | February 13, 2008, 4:27 pm 4:27 pm
Did you see Bill and Hillar’s Clinton picture with Rezko? Don’t you think there is more to that picture than you think? Stay tune for a heart-breaking news!
Posted by: Sam Lobey | February 13, 2008, 4:36 pm 4:36 pm
SHe won’t be around to explain any picture. She explained it already. It was a stagged picture. Lots of celebrities get their pictures taken with people they do not know.
Remember, the difference between Clinton and Obama with Mr. Rezko, is Mr. Rezko is Obama’s friend and NEIGHBOR> They have been friends for 12 years.
Also, it has just come out that he has association with high officials in Syria and Iraq. He has been doing some dealings out there in the Middle East with these countries and Obama knew about it. But Obama still accepted money from Rezko for his campaign, in the amount so far of $200,000.00.

Oh! and Michelle Obama will be questioned also about her dealings with the Rezko family on the house she bought through dealings with Rezko that she got for $300,000.00 less than the asking price. The Obamas care about the poor but his relatives whom took care of Obama when he was growing up live in a hut in Kenya with no electricity. He uses this story about his grandmother living so poor in Africa, and he vows to help out the African people when he is elected; yet he lives in a $2,000,000.00 home + $600,000.00 Lot (Michelle just had to have this lot so she could have her privacy) and he thinks it’s okay to talk about his grandmother when he is living the life or Riley.
And he cares about the poor. Give me a Break!! Again, I will repeat it over and over again..He is the master of deceit. He is the Greatest Performer of all times!!!
His speeches are written by someone else and he uses a teleprompter at his rallies.

If people really analyze Obama’s speeches, they can see the dramatic effect…the pause right at the right moment, staring out above the heads of the crowd, as though seeing a better future, the right amount of passion, again the dramatic pause. The jokes designed to have us see him as a “joe six pack”. Come on, the guy is supported by latte liberals. People who make over 150, 000 a year. I have nothing in common with them, except that we are Democrats, but how differently we see the world. I believe in action, I believe in experience. I have to, I don’t have the bank account to believe in a vague notion of “hope”. I don’t drive a Volvo, BMW or Audi. I don’t have time to go to caucuses.
This whole “election” is skewed against the working class of the Democratic Party.
No surprise Kennedy and Kerry support the “old boys” club and their overly liberal ideas.
I hope we Hillary can get the support she needs, and that we have not been completed blinded by the Great Performer.

I’m an independent because I believe the best candidate should get the vote. With that in mind I’m backing Obama but if he doesn’t get the nod I’m voting for McCain.Clinton’s health plan sucks for military spouses like myself. Why should I or other American be forced to pay for insurance if I’m already covered. Her plan would call for every working American to contribute. I’ve received an outline of it on base today.Whomever I vote for will be better then Bush whom I also voted for in the past.God Bless America…
