Hillary on C-SPAN "Live" Now

[oasis]

"Let the conversation begin."

[caligirl]

1. Yes, she hasn't a great singing voice, so do talk please.

[oasis]

2. "We need smart leadership and good solutions"

[oasis]

3. She mentioned having to use two gymnasiums.

[oasis]

4. "White House dominated by men...and by white men"

[oasis]

5. "I'm prepared to work harder" Hill says because it's harder for a woman.

[Tellurian]

6. She's "Asking People to Vote for the BEST Dem President.."

and she's being WELL received by her audience..

[Tellurian]

7. "BULLEYE "on HealthCare..

Hillary points out our Health Care system is upside down.

[oasis]

8. Hillary gave all the money she made from"It Takes a Village" to children's hospitals.

[Tellurian]

10. I hope a streaming video is available somehere here..

so many people have asked about Hillary's accomplishments..
Her appearance in Iowa is an insight into some of her work done as a jr. Senator.

[oasis]

12. I doubt that the poster who asked the question would support Hillary

under any circumstances. However, it would be a big plus for sincere DUers to listen and learn form Hill's address today.

[Tellurian]

20. Well, that poster needs food for thought.

His heart was obviously set on one candidate who's decision not to run was a disappointment.
When he's ready to raise his awareness of what is at stake, and what our candidates have to offer, hopefully he'll vote for the whoever wins the Democratic nomination.

I'm of the thinking, the strongest candidate with the best plan for our future will be the nominee.
It's way too early in the game to assess one candidate against another. Whats more, I refuse to bash one dem against another. I am content to sit back and listen to what each one has to say and make a final decision at the end of 08'..

Today, Hillary's appearance has exceeded my expectations and is the beginning of the contrast and compare model used for future reference.


There she goes," STOP the subsidies of Big OIL"..."STOP CO2 Emissions.." She's hitting the ball outta the Park.

[Zhade]

39. Well, that certainly makes up for supporting an illegal war...

...that's created the need for many more such hospitals in Iraq, now doesn't it?

:sarcasm:

[oasis]

44. Bush's war. He lied and many have suffered. Most of us understand that and are doing

our best to put a stop to the damage created by Bush's hubris and deceit.

[oasis]

9. "We're gonna have universal health care and we're gonna fight obesity and diabetes."

[Tellurian]

13. Hillary is warm, accessible and understands and has the answers for everone's concerns

Excellent! She has done her homework and well prepared for any/every question asked.

Stellar in her delivery and impressive in her command of the facts....

[oasis]

14. Hopefully, folks across the U.S. are tuning in.

[oasis]

17. Alternative energy question. "Of couse global climate change is real and it's a threat"

[oasis]

18. "Ethanol can be part of solution"

[Tellurian]

25. Absolutely...In the Corn Belt! a boon to farmers..

After today, I'd say she's the new Star of Iowa!


"YOU AIN'T SEEN NOTHING YET"!!!!!! Theme song...perfect!

A HUGE 10....

[oasis]

11. "Take care of people who are taking care of us" Hillary vows to fund VA

hospitals and services at the level our veterans deserve.

[caligirl]

15. MSRNC has replayed her off tune singing a few times in the past hour already.

they are sort of holding out as a joke/dean scream moment and replaying the off key voice over and over as the bring guests on to discuss the candidates.

[LittleClarkie]

16. She's speaking well

Not as stiffly as I've seen her before. Showing some charisma.

[oasis]

22. She's spot on with her criticism of "No Child Left Behind".

[Tellurian]

23. Yep, her warmth is natural and charismatic...

maybe when she takes on the thugs in the Senate she chooses to be firm and uncompromising. Which is understandable.

This is a Hillary we've never seen or known before.

She is thrilling!

[Connie_Corleone]

24. She's a very formidable candidate.

Even though I have my candidate I'm supporting, I don't underestimate her. It seems a lot of people on DU underestimate her. They're forgetting that she knows how to fight back against the republic party and their vicious attacks.

She's tough and like she said, she's in it to WIN.

[Tellurian]

29. No doubt about it.. she is a serious contender!

she has raised the bar for all who come after her, in their speeches and issue preparation.

[oasis]

19. "Strategic energy fund" start by eliminating subsidies to oil companies.

[Connie_Corleone]

21. Although this is a good town hall meeting for her...

I would like to hear her talk about Iraq. No one has asked an Iraq question yet, except for one man, but she talked about veteran health care.

[oasis]

26. Hillary soars on bread and butter issues and they're loving it. There will

be enough discussion about the war at a later date, to be sure.

[IndianaGreen]

27. Too bad Hillary did not forget the words to the National Anthem

it would have been the topic for another parody of hers by Saturday Night Live.

C-SPAN pulled the plug on the mass antiwar rally in Washington to cover Hillary, how pathetic!

[Tellurian]

31. Why? Do you think the Anti War activists are only going to be there for an hour?

I'd be more concerned if I were you, of the accuracy of the head count attending the demonstration..
They always underestimate that doncha know..

[oasis]

28. WOw. Hillary's getting mobbed by the crowd. fantastic.

:wow:

[Tellurian]

30. I'm seeing it...They don't want to Let Her Go!

waiting for someone to say...."Oh, it's because of Bill.."

jackasses!

[oasis]

32. Another week or two of this and her polling numbers will go through the roof.

[Tellurian]

33. Well, Iowa was her test case..and she's captured their issues

they can't get enough of her!

[oasis]

35. Chris Matthews is in Las Vegas pulling out his hair.

[Tellurian]

38. What...tuning in..

[oasis]

40. That's right, no C-SPAN on hotel teevees. He's left out of the loop again.

:rofl:

[Tellurian]

43. Channel surfing to beat the band...

Oh, now I get it...Matthews chose to be absent for commentary.
Chris, the slot machines are for losers...

dragging Tweety away kicking and screaming.."It's only quarters.." :hi:

[The Ghost]

34. Figured someone else would chime in here

I was waiting for this event all morning, as I was anxious to see her first campaign event, and see if she was able to charm the crowd, connect with them, talk seriously, off the cuff, as i knew she could, and she sure did. It just bugs me the haters on DU toward Hillary. She's personable and charming when need be, with the average person, and shes tough as nails when she needs to be, with everyone else. I just wish all the haters would watch something like this and give her a chance. Shes gonna do great in these debates upcoming. And imagine her in the general election debates against the corpse McCain? Bright days ahead ....

[Tellurian]

37. Ha...I'm just thankful the Haters aren't my neighbors ...

It's sort of a relief they dwell in the ether of cyberspace..
And real easy to put them on ignore if you have to..

[oasis]

41. We'll see less and less Hillary hate posts from actual DUers. The freeps

and Greens will be checking in after Hillary is solidly placed.

[Placebo]

36. That was great.

She really knows her stuff, and the crowd won't let go of her!

The thing is, critics paint Hillary as the devil or some evil scheming bitch, and when she actually shows up and is charming...you can't help but like her.

[oasis]

42. "She took the place by storm" as they say in Iowa. (eom)
