City's bid leaders praise her decision to join the
delegation for Wednesday's vote by the International Olympic Committee.
NEW YORK - Other cities are bringing presidents, prime
ministers and royalty to Singapore in hopes of landing
the 2012 Olympics. New York is bringing Hillary Rodham
Clinton.
The city's bid leaders praised the decision by the New
York senator and former first lady to join the delegation
for Wednesday's vote by the International Olympic Committee.
"I think there is no question that everyone here will
know who she is," said Dan Doctoroff, the bid chief and
deputy mayor. "All over the world, she is perceived as a
real leader in the world, someone who is admired around
the world."
New York is competing against four other world-class
cities -- front-runner Paris, London, Madrid and Moscow,
all to be represented by heads of state or government in
Singapore.
Paris will have French President Jacques Chirac in its
corner; British Prime Minister Tony Blair will stump for
London; Queen Sofia and Prime Minister Jose Luis
Rodriguez Zapatero will lobby for Madrid; and Prime
Minister Mikhail Fradkov will push for Moscow.
President Bush will appear in a taped video message in
Wednesday's final presentations to the IOC.
..."She has always been a passionate believer of the
Olympic movement and sees in the Olympic movement a
reflection of New York," Doctoroff said.

IMHO, NYC will not get the Olympics.
"Maybe she can campaign for getting the Olympics in NYC like she did for National Health Care?"
You underestimate her. If she got involved in the Olympic debate, we would have the Olympics in NY. Wuestion would be, how will she convince Sheldon Silver to some around and let the Jets stadium be built on the west side?
My bet is Arkancide.

An Olympic Hildabeast imparts a certain symmetry and confirmation.... |
Leni Riefenstahl was the film genius who outmaneuvered propaganda minister, Joseph Goebbels to chronicle Hitler's 1934 Nuremberg rallies in perhaps the most notorious documentary ever filmed, Triumph of the Will. For sheer power, reach, and ruthlessness, however, the fascist Riefenstahl operation doesn't hold a candle to the Clinton agitprop machine... Whereas Leni Riefenstahl symbolizes the naïve actress and director who is induced to deal with devils, Hillary Clinton is actor, director and--many would argue--devil, rolled into one willful, corrupt, vengeful, despotic, paranoic package. And so we have today... here in America... in America!... Hillary Clinton and her media apparatchiks conducting a campaign of censorship-by-terror that is without precedent; without precedent even if we include in the calculus the despotic Clinton years.... from HILLARY CLINTONSTAHL
