Clinton to Show Emotional Campaign Video
Newsday ^ | 5/29/06 | MARC HUMBERT

ALBANY, N.Y. -- 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.

Ryan Moses, executive director of the state GOP, scoffed at the video. "Everyone enjoys a good fictional story or movie, but this has to be one of the all-time greats," he said...

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...

Some of the praise for Clinton fits into the gushing category.

"I think of Hillary as a lioness protecting children," proclaims Linda Fairstein, a former New York City prosecutor.

Over the next 15 minutes there is much talk of her work in the Senate -- on health care, the Armed Services Committee, post-Sept. 11 efforts.

And had the video contained only the truth, it would have taken 15 seconds - not 15 minutes.

Check out the quote of Bill's half way down, (across from the bottom of the Empire State Coll. ad).
It appears HRC is being recast as a veritable Joan of Arkansas

"Hillary Clinton is not where she is because she's "the smartest woman in the world" it's because America has some of the dumbest voters in the world. Especially in the state of New York.

I believe it is because of the people who are behind her that put her in; not the voters. She is a front and that is all. No smart woman here; just one that will do anything to win. Anyone thinking clearly would know that this is woman definately not qualified to be President of the greatest country in the world. She is a con artist, thief, liar, cheat, scumbag and definately not the smartest woman in the world.

I wonder how they are going to dump her?

Some democrat melon head was on FOX this A.M. saying there's no reason why Hillary couldn't run this country at the same time Bill is running the U.N.
Unbelievable. They've get her as president and Bill as world leader all ready!

"I think of Hillary as a lioness protecting children,"

Now I'm going to have Elton John singing "The Circle of Life" going through my mind all day. The Libbies crack me up. They are all nuts.

Just wait till she "offs" Bill sometime next year. The sympathy vote for the widow of recently deceased American Legacy Prezidintshal litre, will be massive.

Wow, she really inspires conviction doesn't she?

Well I guess we Arkansans are the Clintons' red-headed step children.

Come to think of it, so is Chelsea...

will be shown Wednesday at the state Democratic convention in Buffalo

Will the democrats spit on police officer, color guard, and boy scouts like they did at the RAT convention in Albany in 2000?
