1. i am trying to get it to work--carry on if anyone here

[DURHAM D]

2. Working for me but had to open it twice - think it was them.

Love Eva.

[DURHAM D]

4. Wow - a woman 101.

Voted early for Hillary "Because she is a woman".

Now a 91 year old. Older black woman - fantastic. Talking about faith.

Chelsea tearing up.

[Maribelle]

8. Climb that mountain with determination

Look at our needs, American is down at the foot of the mountain. And we need someone to bring us back up..

[rodeodance]

14. I am so so glad Chelsea is with her in TX for this

[rodeodance]

19. EVA--yes thanks--I could not think of her name

[Maribelle]

3. Discussion from when I started

Universal Health
End the war in Iraq
Bring the troops home
Wearing out our military because of ‘stop loss’ policy
What more can we do with students in lower economic level
Let families learn how to better prepare their children
Intervene earlier, programs for mothers of preschoolers
Pre K for 4 year olds
Families have to know they are the child’s first teacher
Lift up every child to fulfill god-given potential

[rodeodance]

7. dangit my computer froze when i tried he link

[rodeodance]

10. i note--there is family responsibility--but with support--

[Maribelle]

25. Friday night lights

Help teachers affected by social security
Distressed, love jobs, and helping to shape future

Get retirement benefit through job and pay into social security, because of law cannot get both
Hillary does not think that is fair, they should get both.
What kind of financial security do our teachers have?
We have to take a hard look at how the fed can supplement salaries

[Maribelle]

26. Home of the spurs

No-bid contracts?
Hillary wants to end no-bid contracts
We should not be doling out millions without accountability
Under Bush cronyism and no-bid have become outrageous
Contract to build things never built, half finished
We need an investigation like the Truman Commission to hold people accountable

[Maribelle]

34. Our Troops: They gave their lives for the greatest gift you can give, the gift of freedom

They gave this gift to the Iraqis

[kikiek]

38. That is so true. I haven't heard it put that way before.

[libbygurl]

41. Yes, that's a new concept. Will O copy that, too? LOL.

[Maribelle]

46. The big D

Thousands of children in Texas are hurting
Desperately need you as our champion in the White House

Hillary: worked for the Children’s defense fund

When a child is taken away from their family that child becomes our child

Foster child care
Let’s free them to be adopted. Some progress has been made, but we need to go back to that issue.

Put our children first
End child poverty
More programs to help families be better prepared to help their own children
More help for abuse and neglect
Every child is a precious gift

Help before the light goes out in the child’s eyes
There comes a time in a child’s life when circumstances have just beaten them down
I’d like to be the president who is the champion for America’s children.

[Maribelle]

70. Cancer research

Texas has taken the lead
If you are president, will you take the lead in cancer research?

Yes I will!!

Thank you Madam President!!!!

[rodeodance]

48. gift -to the iraqi. whow.

[kikiek]

5. Got it. Good..talking about her plan for poverty.

[DURHAM D]

6. Did you get to see the two older women?

[kikiek]

9. No I got in on the tail end of it. Saw her hugging them and I know one of them said something.

[DURHAM D]

13. Both women spoke - hope Hillary gets the clip up.

Made me cry.

[libbygurl]

11. Yes, I teared up, too, after the 'America to shine like gold again' or something like that.

Beautiful, moving endorsement!

[rodeodance]

15. BO has been critical of her-says she is doom and groom and HE IS THE FUTURE

[libbygurl]

31. Empty future, that is! nt

[rodeodance]

59. i have this urge to kick him where it hurts!

[kikiek]

12. Hey that is a desperate housewife in charge. I like her now!

[rodeodance]

17. ha ha !!

[rodeodance]

18. I forget her name--but saw pics of her a few days ago with Hill in TX

[libbygurl]

20. Eva Longoria? Just a guess.. I don't watch DH, though. nt

[kikiek]

30. Yup that is it.

[kikiek]

22. Yeah Eva L. I can't think of it either. She married that basketball player. Don't know his name

either! Hah. I'm a Vikings fan. Don't hold it against me though ok?

[DURHAM D]

24. Eva Longoria (sp?)

She needs only three more hours to complete a masters in chemistry. May be a desperate housewife but not a stupid housewife.

[kikiek]

29. Really! Good for her. I hope she finishes it.

[libbygurl]

39. Wow. Props and good wishes to her. She reminds me of Shania Twain. nt

[rodeodance]

16. Thankyou all--much niceer to be you all here than 'out there""-)

[libbygurl]

23. Totally. A nice little party we have here. nt

[libbygurl]

21. Now with Ted Danson at the mike. With a couple of wounded vets. nt

[kikiek]

27. She is so sincere. The hatred at her is so unfair. I trust her completely.

[libbygurl]

37. Same here. I just keep liking and admiring her more and more. nt

[kikiek]

43. It is so nice to hear and see her talk live. She calms me down! She is the one who brings Hope!

[kikiek]

50. I love that line about holding hands with the saudis!

[rodeodance]

57. JR?- (my sound was blinking during that)

[kikiek]

62. Yeah refering to Jr. Now the sound is really bad.

[rodeodance]

75. i imagine most Texan's know the them holding hands

[rodeodance]

28. I am able to watch--but my sound keep blinking out--BIG room

[kikiek]

32. My cuts out a little too. Might be on their end.

[rodeodance]

33. RED pearls for the lady tonight:-)

[libbygurl]

35. HRC= 'Now I could sing and dance, but that would break us up very quickly!' LOL

During the gap when Eva and others were wondering who's got the 'internet question'!

[rodeodance]

40. now---those idiots out there are prob. smacking her for her sence of humor!!

[rodeodance]

36. I read that this was being televised statewide--hope people are tuning in.

[libbygurl]

44. Hope so. Fox Sports Network SOUTHWEST - no wonder I couldn't get it on any of my...

...Fox channels here in Appalachia!

[DURHAM D]

42. Melani Griffith and Christine Lathi in the audience. eom

[rodeodance]

45. hillary looks very comfortable up there--no notes-just talking with them

[libbygurl]

49. No teleprompters! She really excels at Town Halls!

[kikiek]

64. They are good venues all the way around I think.

[libbygurl]

47. Yes, more Hollywood people coming out to be more visible with her, but not in a...

...rock star, Oprah/Ted Kennedy kind of way who do their promos for themselves!

[rodeodance]

52. no--they have been more on the small crowd--sally fields, was there I hear

[libbygurl]

51. How to bring oil prices down, got to change what's done in America. nt

[rodeodance]

53. yes---her enviormental green economy plan.

[libbygurl]

54. Eva explaining how to do the 'Texas two-step' in voting! Hope she wins in TX...

...but it looks pretty good right now.

[kikiek]

60. That struck me too! Way to explain how to make your vote count!

[Maribelle]

55. Make history - elect Hillary as the next president of the United States!

That was a great town hall!

Great job Hillary.

She will take it out of cold storage and warm it up.

[rodeodance]

[libbygurl]

[rodeodance]

[Clinton Crusader]

87. Im on cable and it wont load, just keeps going back to Google

::sob::

[libbygurl]

83. INSTANT REPLAY RIGHT NOW OF ENTIRE TOWN HALL! nt

[DURHAM D]

91. Did you hear Hillary tell Eva (at the end) that -

she is so good at this she should have her own talk show?

[rodeodance]

92. no--but thanks for sharing. I am watching her mix with the crowd now.

[libbygurl]

94. Yeah, caught that. Very gracious of her. Love these people dearly!

There's just so much more genuine sincerity in Hillary's meets. Her talks are all meat with touches of self-deprecating humour, not just a lot of hot air.

[DURHAM D]

85. They are re-broadcasting right now. Just started.

[Maribelle]

89. Loved that opening! Spectacular!

And that music, how I want to dance!

[libbygurl]

100. Okey-dokey! See ya! nt

[Maribelle]

98. Thank you rodeo! Just when I think I know all there is to know about Hillary...

she kicks it up another level.

Well tonight she shot it out past the moon to the next univerise!

She will be perhaps the greatest president in my lifetime!

[libbygurl]

99. I think she's already the best US presidential CANDIDATE that I'm aware of.

Only the next step remains to be taken - to the White House!

[rodeodance]

104. ONWARD~~

[Qanisqineq]

101. I'm trying to watch the replay on her site

but the sound keeps dropping out. I then have to refresh and miss a bunch. Annoying!

These two little old ladies are so sweet!

[libbygurl]

102. Hm, might be the broadband connexion...

...I've got cable modem, sound would drop out periodically, but not too badly, could still hear continuous dialogue. Hope it improves for you.

Yes, the two older women were grand! That was a beautiful endorsement, hey?

[BlackVelvet04]

103. I just finished watching the repeat and it was amazing. n/t
