Clinton gets re-election bid under way

By MARC HUMBERT, Associated Press Writer 31 minutes ago

Democratic Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton is getting her bid for a second term under way with a sometimes emotional 18-minute video that features praise from her husband and even some New Yorkers who opposed her candidacy six years ago.

"I didn't vote for her. I think I will this next election," says Tim Damon, owner of Damon Rods in Potsdam, N.Y., whose company's Web site shows former President Bush with a Damon fishing rod.

The video, previewed for The Associated Press, will be shown Wednesday at the state Democratic convention in Buffalo as the former first lady and potential 2008 presidential candidate marks the start of her re-election campaign.

While there is plenty of praise for Clinton in the video, there is no mention of her past in the White House or 2008.

This version of the Clinton story begins with a clip of then-presidential candidate George W. Bush proclaiming on July 14, 2000: "It's going to be quite a moment when the sitting vice president performs his last official duty and that is to swear in the new United States senator from New York, Rick Lazio." The little-known congressman from Long Island wound up losing to Clinton by 12 percentage points.

Then there is a shot of Sen. Clinton, laughing. And then one of Bill Clinton, smiling.

"The so-called experts counted her out a lot of times," the former president says.

There are shots of crowds chanting "Go home, Hillary!" and Lazio physically looming over her during a debate encounter in Buffalo.

The toughest woman who ever lived, and the frail victim of bullying men.

Tim, are you any relation to Matt Damon? I recognize the familial ignorance...

I hadn't given it a lot of thought, but if I were to buy a new flyrod this year it will definitely not be a Damon.

I think Mr. Damon may discover a new meaning to the word "backlash". Heh Heh.

You have to wonder how many of Hillary's constituents fish and hunt.

I find it interesting that Yahoo chose "Clinton" vice "Rodham-Clinton" for their headline. Isn't this something new?

Think about it, Hillary has finally found someone that likes her! I'm sure Hillary has done so much to help the town of Potsdam! The new Damon fly rod will be called the HillandmaybeBill! /sarcasm

ROTFLMAO. She also looks a little long in the tooth. Probably will have more plastic surgery before her debut.

It tickles me that she is trying to horn in on Gov Pataki's celulose ethanol achievement. Maybe that is the only thing she has to offer the upstate voters she conned into voting for her.
