Friends of Hillary speak out
Financial Times ^ | December 17, 2007

Posted on 12/17/2007 1:31:32 PM PST by Zakeet

There must be a poll out suggesting that Iowa voters just don’t know the real Hillary Clinton. What else would explain the launch on Monday of TheHillaryIKnow.com, a Clinton campaign website featuring video testimonials from “regular Americans”?

Those “regular Americans” include her longtime friends and “well-known leaders” who talk about how their lives have been changed by the presidential hopeful.

The videos also include comments from the New York senator’s constituents, including a mother with a sick child who says Clinton “worked outside of the view of the media” when she helped her daughter get the medical attention she needed.

Clinton’s team says the videos serve as a “stark reminder” that the issues discussed in the campaign affect real people.

The website offers another reminder: that the Clinton campaign seems to be struggling to overcome the “likeability” factor. Her likeability, or lack thereof, still represents a big challenge for the former first lady, who is competing with Barack Obama and John Edwards for a win in Iowa on January 3.

Mark Penn, a top Clinton strategist and pollster, told USA Today it was important for people to understand the “depth” of Hillary. But Observer wonders whether depth is a trait you can sell on a website.

Based on her falling poll numbers, they're learning about the real Hillary.

Most of Hillary’s friends are either:

1. dead
2. behind bars
3. dead
4. under investigation or indictment
5. dead
6. in hiding
7. dead
8. in denial that they are about to be one of the above

Somebody called into WLS 890 (Chicago)this morning and referred to her as “Lizard Eyes”. They must have been looking at this hideous photo.

The only “depth” I need to know about Hillary is the length of the stake that will be driven through her “heart”.

A lot of lives have been changed as a result of the she-devil. Most of the time the change meant the end of their life.

I worked for over 22 years as a Women’s Studies secretary/administrative assistant, so I’ve seen them all in one form or another. No shock here.

Americans are ready for a woman president but Hillary is not that woman. Her biggest obstacle is her husband.
When he was voted in as president we were told that we had two presidents, lucky us-—Mr. and Mrs. Bill Clinton.
BOTH LIARS=== EXTRAORDINARY

WHAT FOOLS THESE MORTALS BE-—let’s not be fools=== vote republican.
