[B positive]

Greta just said it.... Can't wait .... yay!!

10pm EST / 9pm CST

[floorrunner]

I can't wait for this. I like Greta. She treats all of her guests with respect. I have been watching her every night since late January.

[xyndau]

I think Greta likes the Clintons. Fox must be killing the ratings lately.

[Soaring Eagle]

As the left wing nut job Keith Olberman says "be there Aloha". LOL. We all need to get together and blog like crazy at gretawire.com when Hillary gets on there.:) We all must get together now for Hillary!

[Patricia GA]

Vote Now For Obama Having The Worst Last Seven Days on Greta Wire

http://gretawire.foxnews.com/

[DrLisa]

We need to email and blog on her site tonight and all day tomorrow.

[skc1976]

Great news. I've had some Hillary withdrawal lately, so this will be a nice boost! Can't wait to see it. Thanks for sharing!

[HONESTY]

AGREE!!!!!!!

Hillary was in Bosnia at a time of war. Her trip was hugely successful. Did she embelish? yes, is that a crime NO!!!!!!

Americans should know:
Obama lied to our faces saying he "had not heard" the pastor say those evil things.
Obama lied to us on National TV during a debate when said "he had only worked for Rezko for 5 min worth time of legal counseling" (Rezko is in fact a LONG time friend of his)
Obama has seriously missrepresented his upbringing and his "exposure" to harships as a child in his biography (see ChicagoTribune 3/22 or 3/24)

Hillary has received enough poisonous bullets in her lifetime and she is still STANDING!!!

[samkm]

Thank you. I appreciate all of you my dear friends for bringing me such good news. Thank you.

One thing that Greta knows is the quest of truth. What is the truth that really makes a difference. She has shown repeatedly.

[B positive]

We need to email and blog on her site tonight and all day tomorrow.

Yes! Excellent point... I will blog tomorrow at work and take a break tomorrow night to get my Hillary fix via Greta!!!

Go to this link now:
http://gretawire.foxnews.com/

1. Vote on FLUFF having the worst 7 days !!
2. Go back again all day tomorrow to blog for Hillary !!



DO YOU EVER SECRETLY WISH YOU WERE A SUPERDELEGATE AND COULD
CALL A PRESS CONFERENCE TO ANNOUNCE YOUR HILLARY ENDORSEMENT? i do:p

[Annie]

Saw this over at Taylor Marsh. Should be interesting I have always considered Greta fair and middle of the road.

[Tea toaD]

I can't wait to watch it:)

[Annie]

Sorry I began a new thread on this - Guess it must have been on page 2 when i came in. However it is good news and am looking forward to Greta and Hil tonight. Always remember Greta on the OJ trial - she was great, and fair - no nonsense.....

[Lodi]

What time does Greta's show come on in the West???????

My late mother would be happy to know that Greta didn't become a sellout and still searches for the truth...and I think, humbly.

[joeysky18]

merged 2 threads. we should send question and blog at gretawire

[CGP]

Coming up in 10 minutes.

[CGP]

Hillary talking about Wright - "the voters will decide" !!!!

[CGP]

Greta - the "firestorm about Wright isn't dying down"...

Obama is so pathetic how he tries to defend Wright by saying he wasn't there for every sermon. So disgraceful. So pathetic. He didn't need to be there for ONE sermon to be shamed for his association with this man. Did Wright's character and views suddenly change every time he spoke with Obama?! What absurd logic. :mad:

[BloodDAnna]

This is what I posted:

I enjoyed the interview with President Clinton last week and am looking forward to your interview with Senator Clinton. Thank you so much for having her on! Please let her know that everyone at hillaryclintonforum.net sends their love and support!

[ALL4HILLARY]

http://gretawire.foxnews.com/

[CGP]

Muting...refused to listen to HYSTERIA about the "bosnia issue" - it's a DISGRACE they cover these pathetically benign issue.

ONCE AGAIN - NO GUEST TO REPRESENT HILLARY CLINTON!!!!!!!!!!!!

[CGP]

What is the full name of the journalist, "jeff", from the huffington post or was it washington post.

His defense and support of Obamaa, and simulatneous smear of Hillary Clinton was sickening. Is he a journalist or on the Obama campaign?!?

[PuppyDogMom]

Brother...the Greta panel feel that Bosnia-gate is worse that Wright-gate. One guy actually said that he would rather have Obama's problem with Wright than Clinton's problem with Bosnia.

AND, if she was sleep deprived, how's that play out with the 3am phone call.

Are these guys SERIOUS!!!! This is disgusting. They're setting Clinton up.

[Patricia GA]

Well the pundits had to be asked so people could be be told what to think again...even before she talks. I am so sick of today's news. They need to stop calling this analysis. It is propaganda...not analysis. We need to get rid of the media all together.

[CGP]

Brother...the Greta panel feel that Bosnia-gate is worse that Wright-gate. One guy actually said that he would rather have Obama's problem with Wright than Clinton's problem with Bosnia.


Yes, that is the man I referred to above.

[CGP]

At least Hillary can laugh...

[JMS825]

on that new MSNBC Prog with David Gregory actually made a point. The Media only reports what they want to report and Hillary is a favorite Topic of theirs cause it gets people to watch. That show only gets Joe Scarbrough to defend Hillary which is funny how a repub defends her

[CGP]

Out of 85 votes in the Senate relating to the Iraq War, Hillary and Obama have voted in the same way 84/85 times. Only one vote did they vote differently. Oh, but he is the one who "OPPOSES" the war. What garbage.

[G4Hillary]

This interview is great fun.

Go Hillary!

[G4Hillary]

on that new MSNBC Prog with David Gregory actually made a point. The Media only reports what they want to report and Hillary is a favorite Topic of theirs cause it gets people to watch. That show only gets Joe Scarbrough to defend Hillary which is funny how a repub defends her

MSNBC is pure trash. It's the Jerry Springer of Cable News. I don't watch it at all because they all know that they support Obama and they don't hide it. So they are not reliable. They've been written off long ago.

[PuppyDogMom]

OK...somebody tell me. Carl Rove? Carl Rove is going tell us whether Hillary can win? Am I in the twilight zone?

[Patsy]

I know I joke about Matthews having a Man Crush on O, but I think I now have a girl crush on Greta!

I wish she could just moderate the F**** Debates. She's the only person to actually ask the distinctions between the two.

How refreshing.:)

[hillary4change]

They were obamabots and apologists. They are trying to form peoples thinking. The guy from politico was much fairer as has been my experience so far!!!

[Patsy]

OK...somebody tell me. Carl Rove? Carl Rove is going tell us whether Hillary can win? Am I in the twilight zone?

No, he's actually been spot of late.

[CGP]

Yeah, good on Hillary for taking on Obama about the FL/MI issue!!!

I love her fire - going to the convention!!!

Love it. She is so damn TOUGH! And Obama is so damn SCARED of her!!!!

She is so focused, so determined, so resilient. I would have "lost it" bigtime by this point if it was me!! But she remains so calm.

"LET THE VOTERS HAVE A CHANCE TO BE HEARD"

[G4Hillary]

Yeah, good on Hillary for taking on Obama about the FL/MI issue!!!

Exactly!!!!

I love it. She's going right to them. This is the toughness that I love about her.

[G4Hillary]

hehehehe...she said that people are saying Obama should quit...hehe...that's right. He needs to go.

others say let it go on...

[G4Hillary]

She's clearly the best leader in our country. It's long overdue that we had a such a great leader!

We are extremely fortunate.

[CGP]

It is so extroadinarily OBVIOUS that her mind/character is so much TOUGHER than Obama's. So obvious.

I yelled out loud when she said the piece aboug going to the convention and let that be the test of the candidates' credentials!

[G4Hillary]

Greta: Why do you want this job?

Hillary: Because I love this country!!

[CGP]

Shouldn't say this - it's not relevant to the politics of everthing - but she looks really, really nice tonight!

[G4Hillary]

It is so extroadinarily OBVIOUS that her mind/character is so much TOUGHER than Obama's. So obvious.

I yelled out loud when she said the piece aboug going to the convention and let that be the test of the candidates' credentials!

She put it like it is. If it goes to the convention, so be it. This is called a true democracy.

[CGP]

She put it like it is. If it goes to the convention, so be it. This is called a true democracy.

And isn't it ironic, that the so-called flagships for democracy like the DNC and DFA want to end democracy and cheat Obama into the nomination.

[Patricia GA]

I cannot listen to Rove...please give me a summary when IT is over.

[Jayling]

It's no wonder we admire and respect her -- she has such determination, such grit -- and DETAILED plans. I don't know where she got the label that she isn't a good speaker, because by huge margins in my book, she is a better speaker than all the candidates.

She is the best choice, not only for Democrats, but for this whole country!

[Patsy]

Shouldn't say this - it's not relevant to the politics of everthing - but she looks really, really nice tonight!

I was thinking the very same thing!!!! lol

[PuppyDogMom]

No, he's actually been spot of late.

I'm just so used to anybody following Hillary with a hatchet that I can't imagine that Carl Rove would have anything good to say about her. But, from what you're saying, I might not be suicidal if I watch him....:o

[HillWill]

She was great on the MI/FL issue! I love the way she said about obama's stance "hello!"

[KYWildcatFan]

Hillary did an outstanding job answering questions.....with explanations!

I love to see her laugh.

Her answer on the economy and how she plans on making more job in the USA I thought was outstanding. She offered so many ideas.

It's no wonder why we all love her so much.

She's going to be president and all of use will rejoice!

[G4Hillary]

And isn't it ironic, that the so-called flagships for democracy like the DNC and DFA want to end democracy and cheat Obama into the nomination.

Yup. They should be ashamed of themselves and need to step down themselves for converting the party into the "Undemocratic Party"

The American people won't stand for their Stalin ways.

[Patsy]

I'm just so used to anybody following Hillary with a hatchet that I can't imagine that Carl Rove would have anything good to say about her. But, from what you're saying, I might not be suicidal if I watch him....:o

The past few weeks, he's seemed far less Rovian and actually very objective. Let's hear what he says...

[BloodDAnna]

Ok so on all 4 pages I made sure to plug the site :)

[Patricia GA]

I love and respect Hillary. She is a great American and a great woman. Oh that all would see this and vote accordingly!

[PuppyDogMom]

You know, I think it would be better if you guys watch him and then give the rest of us chickens a blow by blow....;)

[hillary4change]

I could see the determination in her eyes when she mentioned going to the convention. She was sure the DNC wouldn't go there!!! Love her determination!!

[hillary4change]

Rove lambasting obamas lies, life mag. etc.

[Soaring Eagle]

Hillary was great as usual!!!! She made great points about Michigan and Florida. I think it's time that EVERYONE got involved with the dnc instead of just us in the states worrying about it. EVERYONE it's time to step up and email them write them. United we stand, diveded we fall. Lets get Hillary elected and we the people are the ones to get it done by getting Michigan and Florida counted!

[G4Hillary]

Rove just reminded people of all the things Obama has lied about.

Is anyone taking notes.

Selma
Life magazine
speaking indonesian
rezko.......

[BloodDAnna]

I was just saying today I think they should have a gladiator pit at the convention and let em battle it out.

[G4Hillary]

Rove going into detail about how Obama lied about Rezko donations.

[KYWildcatFan]

He sure slammed BO's claims. He just busted one after another.

So far he's making our girl look really good (but we already knew that)

Now he's slamming Bo for Rezko! Way to Go Rove!

He's saying she can win this especially if she can win more 60% of the Penn. vote. He's saying as long as she can take big numbers she can win this nomination.

[JMS825]

The Repubs are Hillary's savior seems they like her more than McCain

[hillary4change]

He lambasted him on rezco, wright etc. he said that Hillary can still win, it is a steep bar but it can be done

[Lodi]

Rove just said what we've all been saying, that if Hillary wins 60-40 in PA, there's a "chance to close this thing." YES SHE WILL! :)

[BloodDAnna]

He said if she beats him in PA more then 60-40 she could win the nomination WOW like I already had faith in her but when King Rove says it it makes it all the sweeter

[BloodDAnna]

We so need Team Speak or Vent on here like in video games so we could just verbally communicate...

[hillary4change]

How pathetic is it that we have to run to the T.V to even see Hillary speak. It is so rare to hear her voice anymore that it is an actual event!!!

[lanney]

Hillary did very well. I am very proud of her.
This Bosnia thing is very minor, infact someone is saying it looks good, they are showing her in hostile region, not in high heel with someone holding umberala. She was in hostile region. She looks good. Duh what else you want from her.
McCain went to Iraq and said he was able to do shopping in local market, but infact it was complete lie, he did shopping from shop which was opened for only photo op only.

[G4Hillary]

http://gretawire.foxnews.com/

VOTE NOW:
Why do you think Reverend Wright is canceling his public appearances?
**He is getting pressured by Senator Obama's campaign

[G4Hillary]

Rove slams DNC expulsion of mich/fl as "draconian"

[Lodi]

The Repubs are Hillary's savior seems they like her more than McCain

This morning Joe Scarborough, my love :), said he LOVES the Clinton women. He has a crush on Hillary and loves her strength. Now it takes a real man--one who's secure in himself--to love a strong woman.

Joe also absolutely came to Hillary's defense on the later show, "Race for the Presidency" (or something like that). He's a true gentleman. Pat Buchanan, too. (I'm tellin' ya, this is like living in Superman comics Bizzaro World! :eek:)

[Charlie Brown]

wow great interview....she is so wonderful...♥ HIllary heres my blog on Greta

If you dont like what Greta says turn off the TV or switch to CNN Geezzzz stop whining already.
The pastor is staying away to avoid the the press and get his Anti-American buddy in office.
Everyone knows that.

[G4Hillary]

he says this is big trouble for democrats in battle ground states if they disqualify fl/mich

[G4Hillary]

Rove says Obama can only solve this by seating Fl and Mich. hehe

[hillary4change]

I love it he says that bo should step up and say saet the Delegates it would be a gutsy move...look like a leader...BUT he doesn't think he will do it. Does that mean he doesn't see bo as having any guts..intestinal fortitude!! I would say yes!

[PuppyDogMom]

Rove says Obama can only solve this by seating Fl and Mich. hehe

Right. And then he says Obama won't do it because it's a tough thing to do. Double hehe!

[Lodi]

We so need Team Speak or Vent on here like in video games so we could just verbally communicate...

Yes. And PuppyDogMom has an idea of doing a map with our pictures in the state that we're from. I think both are great ideas!

[JMS825]

If BO starts to fall apart and looks like he is about to lose he will say seat Mich and FL so he can look like a leader and make Hillary Happy so he may have a job available

[samkm]

Thank you folks..

http://gretawire.foxnews.com/page/2/ -- has an important poll

http://gretawire.foxnews.com/ -- please blog; I will go there shortly.

Thanks

[KYWildcatFan]

We need to write to Greta telling her how much we appreciate her interview with Hillary.

[hillary4change]

I blogged on gretawire. I was Brenda Az. I am going to go back and read somemore. I too would like to write a thank you to Greta. It was fair she was kind and respectful!! What a cool idea for a Political news show!! I think all the stations should try it!!! DON'T LAUGH IT COULD HAPPEN!!!!!

[pnevai]

Is it too late for Hillary to Hire Karl Rove????????
The man is if nothing else a genious. Look he got Bush two elections that the Democrats should have run away with.

Wonder if an independent pary can hire him as a consultant to the Clinton Campaign.
Since Carville seems to have fallen out of the loop. He was the only campaign manager alive who could go toe to toe with Rove.

[B positive]

This was the best interview of Hillary I've seen in ages !!!

I am so proud to be supporting this person... I think all young girls should get both the Gardasil vaccine and a good strong dose of Hillary !!

Imagine if all young girls had the strength and leadership of Hillary !!!:)

[tcbwriter]

In case you missed it, like I did, here's the video:

[smsemedic]

as always...our girl did a great job!!!
murray...i am glad to hear you yell out loud while watching tv also!! i thought i was the only nut!

[SugnSpicesmom]

Last night I was reminded again why I like Hillary. She really is an intelligent woman, well spoken, and well versed on the issues. She says SOMETHING when she speaks. It is obvious that she is truly aware of the issues facing our country. Has she had mis-steps? Of course she has. Who hasn't? This latest thing on Bosnia was just a matter of getting caught up in the moment and stretching the truth a bit. Who the heck cares? And who the heck hasn't done it? I have heard so many people knock her for staying with Bill after he cheated on her repeatedly. It's easy to be self-righteous and say "I would never stay with my husband if he did that to me" when you're not the one it's happening to. I respected her for the way she handled that very public humiliation. She could have dumped him, written a book spilling all the dirty little details and made a ton of money on it. Instead, she suffered through all of it, kept the matter private, protected Chelsea, and stood strong. I say if she can suffer that kind of humiliation, she's certainly strong enough to run this country. And if she stayed with him to benefit herself in the long run, well who's smarter? Bill or her? :D Actually, I liked and still like Bill Clinton. I think he's a brilliant man who left our country in pretty good shape when he left office (outside of the embarrasment of the Lewinsky scandal). Anyway, Hillary stands for something, which is more than I can say about Obama. He stands for himself and nothing elese.

I listen to Obama and he stumbles around, saying "uh" a million times, speaking about NOTHING! He just bugs me. I have never liked him from the beginning and I have liked him less and less ever since his mug appeared on screen. While he's been running around trying to clean up the mess regarding his pastor, Hillary's been out there addressing the issues. Trots off to his little Caribbean getaway, admits he's spoken to Wright, comes back and starts attacking both Hillary and McCain. In my book, he'd better clean up his own mess before he starts trying to clean up everyone else.

If by some horrible circumstance Obama gets the nomination the Republican party is going to make mincemeat of him. He thinks he's taken a couple of blows at this point? He ain't seen nothing yet. There's plenty more out there on him and it's just waiting to be revealed. The Republicans are just waiting to see if they need it.

[Tea toaD]

She did a great interview:) No bull, all substance. Was Rove previewing what Mr. High n Mighty will be up against by presenting more of his lies that go un-noticed and brushed aside by media and fellow Kool-aid drinkers? Hillary must win and will win. I've never heard him say how much he loves his country and Hillary states it over and over. She truly is for the people:) I just adore her.

I am on the West Coast and usually go to sleep listening to my favorite talk show station, KGO in San Francisco. The host is a staunch Hillary supporter.
He mentioned how Hillary has had 35 years of putting up with the republican attack machine and how they would not be able to swift boat her in the general election, because she has heard and answered it all. Then he put a question to the listening audience as to just what did they think that the republicans would bring up that is new and revealing.

I was surprised to find that the callers had really nothing that hadn't been worn out years ago. Of course there was a lot of Hillary bashing and they were cut off. One person said he would never vote for her because she was immoral. The host asked just what do you mean by "immoral" can you give me an example? His response was, well, I can't put my finger on it right now, but. The host hung up on him. :) At any rate, after an hour of calls, nadda, ziltch, zero.:D:D:D

Transcript cause I love HRC! :0)

Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, presidential candidate

This is a rush transcript from "On the Record ," March 26, 2008. This copy may not be in its final form and may be updated.

GRETA VAN SUSTEREN, HOST: A short time ago, we spoke with Democratic candidate for president Senator Hillary Clinton right here in New York City.

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

VAN SUSTEREN: Senator, nice to see you.

• Video: Watch Part 1 | Part 2

SEN. HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON, D-N.Y., PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE: Great to see you, Greta.

VAN SUSTEREN: Thanks for agreeing to do this interview.

CLINTON: Thank you. I'm happy to.

VAN SUSTEREN: All right. Now, this is what I think the viewers — the viewers! This is what I think the voters are thinking about. One is that we have a senator doesn't know the difference between the Shiites and al Qaeda...
Related



(LAUGHTER)

VAN SUSTEREN: ... another senator whose memory may be shot — figuratively — and a third one who's been sitting in a pew for 20 years and never heard anything. What do you — how do you answer — how do you reconcile that? And I guess we should peel off Senator McCain since he's not in this horse race at this point.

CLINTON: Well, you know, I think the voters are intensely interested in this election. We've just seen these huge voter registration numbers come out of Pennsylvania. I think voters by now know we're all, you know, in this race, competing as hard as we can, and I'm excited by that. You know, I really feel like this election has such high stakes for everybody that the participation is a reflection of how seriously people are taking the campaigns.

VAN SUSTEREN: But the issue of the Bosnia problem that you've had in the last couple days and the one with Reverend Wright and the hateful speech of his and Senator Obama — if you're trying to tell the voters why yours is less of a problem that his is less of a problem right now, what do you say?

CLINTON: Well, just speaking for myself, obviously, you know, I'm a human being. I made a mistake and owned up to it. But that's not what people talk to me about. When I'm out campaigning, like I have been in Pennsylvania and Indiana — and I'm going to, you know, be in North Carolina and Kentucky, and I'm excited about West Virginia and all the places where I'll be in the next month or two — people want to talk about the economy and health care, and they want to know, What are you going to do to fix our country, to get it back on the right track, to help my family and me?

And that's what I'm really engaged in because, you know, when you've been in a campaign for 14 months, you know, there's all other kinds of distractions. But at the end of the day, this is like a hiring decision. Who will people hire to get this country moving in the direction it should move? And I think, you know, for me, it's making that case that I will be ready on day one to, you know, do what needs to be done.

VAN SUSTEREN: Well, I guess that — I don't mean to badger you on this particular issue, but when I look at the issues, I get a little confused. Like, take Iraq. There have been at 85 votes, according to my colleague, James Rosen, in the Senate for both you and Senator Obama to vote on having to do with Iraq. He says, Well, I was opposed to the war in the beginning, but when you look at the 85 votes, you agreed on 84 of them. So it seems to me that, you know, the voters have to make a judgment, and so — do you — do you agree totally on Iraq, or where are you different in the sound bites, so that we get it?

CLINTON: Well, Greta, I think that you've put your finger on a very significant issue in this campaign. You know, as we know, Senator Obama has said he was opposed the war. He opposed it in '02, '03, '04, '05, '06, '07 and '08. but the fact is, when he came to the Senate, he and I have voted the same, except for one vote. And that means to me that you want to go with someone who has said, Look, I know how to get us out of Iraq. I know the tough decisions we have to make. I've laid out a comprehensive plan for doing just that. And Senator Obama has basically run his whole campaign on a speech he made in 2002. And I think the voters have to assess, which do they believe is more relevant to the tough decisions that our next president is going to be facing?

VAN SUSTEREN: So that's why I go back to badgering you a little bit on the issue, is that how — you know, when you look at the past week — and November is a long way off, or even the summer, when the convention is, is that — is that you've got two senators with a PR flap this week, and his is extended — going back about eight days, is that — is how do you distinguish — how should you tell the voters that yours is not a serious problem and his is a serious problem? What do you say? How do you distinguish them?

CLINTON: Well, what I say is for people to look at my entire record. You know, I have been making positive changes for people for many years. I think the best way you in life tell what someone is going to do is to look and see what they've already done. And with me, you've got someone who has been around the world, been to more than 80 countries, has represented America and America's values in many different settings, someone who did work to help create the Children's Health Insurance Program, to bring health care to our National Guard and reserves, who took on a lot of tough issues, as I have over all these years.

So it's the totality. You know, I think people have to look at who we are, of course, and what we've done, and equally importantly, what we say we'll do and who has the strength and experience to actually deliver those results.

VAN SUSTEREN: All right. Another issue I'm confused about, and I follow the issue pretty closely, is health care. And I know that you have a program, Senator Obama has a program. But frankly, as much as I've read about both proposals and heard about the — I really do not know the difference. Can you give me sort of the 30 seconds so I really get it? What's the difference between your programs?

CLINTON: I have a program to make health care more affordable, to get the costs down, and to improve the quality and cover everyone. Senator Obama's plan does not cover everyone. He doesn't have as aggressive measures that I do to get costs down. And I think the real crux of the difference is I want to make sure everyone has access to quality affordable health care. He would leave about 15 million people out.

VAN SUSTEREN: Is — where are the other sort of high point differences? Because there really is a lot in common. You're both Democrats. I mean, what are sort of the — you know, for the voters to sort of get, what are sort of the other bullet point differences?

CLINTON: I think there are three big differences. You know, on issues like health care, on what I would do with the economy, particularly on home foreclosures — which I think you have to address, otherwise we're not going to get the housing market back and get this economic challenge that we face met. On a lot of the very specifics about, you know, what our experiences are, what we've already done, what we can put forward as, you know, essentially, our resume — because this is a hiring decision.

You know, people think about elections and they say, Oh, you can vote for somebody on the basis of whether you like their hair or not. Well, yes, you can, but a smarter way to think about it is the American people have to hire a president. And so both on what I've done and what I will do, and on who can best deliver results, I think that there is a significant gap.

And what I've seen in my last 14 months on the campaign trail is that every time people count me out — you know, the pundits say it's over or it should be over — the voters bring me back because they believe, as I do, that this election is not about me, it's about everybody else. It's about whether you're going to have a job, whether you're going to keep your home, whether you're going to have health care, whether you're going to be able to afford college for your children. And that's why people keep coming back to my campaign, because they believe that I will actually get up every day in that White House and work my heart out for all of our people.

(END VIDEOTAPE)

VAN SUSTEREN: Don't go away. Senator Hillary Clinton has more to say about Reverend Wright and — get ready for this — whether she talks to Senator Obama on the phone these days. And she'll also talk about her exact strategies to nab the nomination.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

VAN SUSTEREN: Welcome back to "The Record." Here is Senator Clinton.

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

VAN SUSTEREN: You know, in the last eight days we have seen — I have seen an enormous amount of e-mails, people — at least the viewers that we have that e-mail me are disturbed by the Reverend Wright. And that is a problem that Senator Obama obviously has to address.

Had this happened earlier in the season, it might have had a different impact. Now, you know, it is close. What is your strategy? Because time is running out, states are running out. Give me your plan or your strategy, how you become the nominee.

CLINTON: Well, this is a really close election. You know, despite what, you know, some might say, it is a very close election in the popular vote and in the delegates. We have 10 contests ahead of us, plus don't forget Florida and Michigan.

You know, I keep beating this drum, we cannot disenfranchise two of the most important states for Democrats, Florida and Michigan. I don't think we can win if we don't win Michigan and Florida. So.

VAN SUSTEREN: You mean, you can't win?

CLINTON: I don't think a Democrat can win.

VAN SUSTEREN: You mean, in November.

CLINTON: In November. And we are essentially saying to the voters — we, the Democratic Party, is saying to the voters, your votes don't count, we are not going to have a re-vote, you are out of luck. I don't think that the nominee of the party will be considered legitimate if we don't figure out how to count those votes for Michigan and Florida.

So we have these 10 contests from Pennsylvania to Puerto Rico. We have Florida and Michigan. So there is a lot to be done. Millions of people are going to be voting in the next three months. And I hope that will include Florida and Michigan.

VAN SUSTEREN: You say you hope it will, but what is the — I mean, right now it looks like Michigan — I don't see any movement that that is happening.

CLINTON: Well, but look at what happened, the Democratic National Committee and I and my campaign said to the leadership of Michigan, we are willing to have a re-vote. I don't know how that would have turned out. I have no prediction.

We wanted to go ahead and let the people actually exercise their franchise, one of the most precious rights we have in our country. Senator Obama said no. He basically turned his back — I mean, here is somebody, you know, who runs a campaign about empowerment and all of that.

Well, hello, what about giving the people in Michigan a chance to have their voices and votes heard? Nobody knows how it would turn out. We know he has got a lot of resources. He could run a very vigorous campaign. But he doesn't want to give the people in Michigan that chance.

Similarly, we have been trying to support what is going on in Florida, because the people there want their voices and votes to be heard. And again, you know, Senator Obama doesn't want to support that.

But Michigan is really the clearest example of getting right up to the brink of doing the right thing and having Senator Obama say, no, I won't do it.

VAN SUSTEREN: And if he says, no, I won't do it, that leaves Michigan and Florida out. And does that leave you out?

CLINTON: No. Not at all, because we are going to make sure those votes get counted, one way or another.

VAN SUSTEREN: How?

CLINTON: Well, you know, you can always go to the convention. That is what credential fights are for. You know, let's have the Democratic Party go on record against seating the Michigan and Florida delegations three months before the general election? I don't think that will happen. I think they will be seated. So that is where we are headed if we don't get this worked out.

VAN SUSTEREN: What about the pledged delegates right now? Are they likely — do you have any position on them sort of moving over in one direction or the other?

CLINTON: Well, you know, delegates are free to exercise their judgment, all delegates, whether you are from a caucus or you are from a primary or your so-called appointed delegate.

This is a very fluid race. And I see it changing every day. You know, I feel very good about the campaign in Pennsylvania. I have got great support from the governor to the mayors of, you know, Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, and so many people.

I was thrilled to have Congressman Murtha come out and endorse me this last week. I feel really good about this next big contest. And Pennsylvania is another state where the road to Pennsylvania Avenue leads through the state of Pennsylvania.

So I'm going to run a very vigorous campaign there and get positioned to be able to win in the fall.

VAN SUSTEREN: What do you anticipate now? I know a lot can happen between now and April 22nd. But what do you see as the numbers there, any thoughts in Pennsylvania?

CLINTON: I don't make predictions, I just want to do as well as I can. But you see, I think what is important about this, Greta, is that people don't want this to be over. There was some poll today somebody told me about where, you know, 22 percent of people said I should and 22 percent of the people said Obama should quit, and 62 percent said, let it go on.

That is what people are telling me. That is what we have to do. Let the voters have a chance to be heard. Nobody should be, you know, writing obituaries on this race, because it is a long way from being over.

VAN SUSTEREN: Do you ever speak to Senator Obama outside of when we see you at debates? I mean, do you two ever say anything, call each other, e-mail each other, or is there no relationship?

CLINTON: Well, I mean, every so often. You know, not frequently, but every so often we have had conversations. You know, we used to — when we were in the Senate, we would see each other much more frequently. And when we were both back voting on all of those budget votes a couple of weeks ago, we had a long conversation.

So when we see each other, we certainly talk.

VAN SUSTEREN: The economy, that is a big word and we all talk about the economy. But what it really boils down to is, you know, does someone have a job to make money? A lot of places in the country, people really worried. Can you give me sort of a 30-second — if I'm a voter out there worried about my job, what are you going to do for me?

CLINTON: Well, let's get back to creating jobs again. You know.

VAN SUSTEREN: How?

CLINTON: . in the 1990s, we did it. So it is not like we don't know how to do it, we just have, unfortunately, presidential leadership that doesn't know how or doesn't seem to be focused on it. We have got to get back to fiscal responsibility, which helps to create confidence and generate savings which then can be better utilized in the private sector.

We need to invest in clean energy jobs. I think we could create at least 5 million new jobs over the next 10 years in clean, renewable energy, all different kinds. I think we have got to have an infrastructure program to rebuild America.

We have got bridges collapsing, I-95 was closed for a couple of days because of a threatened bridge collapse outside of Philadelphia. We have the levees collapsing. We have all of this pent-up demand to build our country again. And I would love to see us put thousands of people to work doing that.

And I think we have to end President Bush's war on science. You know, we have had climate change and stem cell research and so many important scientific issues politicized. Science is a driver of the economy. We have to end the tax benefits that are still in our tax code that actually give businesses benefits for taking jobs out of America and moving them to a foreign country.

And we have to have a new trade policy that, you know, really says to our trading partners, look, we are not going to let you take advantage of our market anymore. We are going to stand up and say that if you want access to our market, it has to be reciprocal. We have to have strong labor and environmental standards.

We can do all of this, though. And it is so exciting to me because when I look at our country, I know that there isn't any problem we have that we can't solve. We just have to start acting like Americans again. We have to roll up our sleeves. We have to get to work. We have to be ingenious and innovative and we will start creating those jobs again.

VAN SUSTEREN: You know, as I listen to you and I listen to the other candidates, I think there is so much work to do. I'm exhausted. You know what I'm saying? I think.

(LAUGHTER)

VAN SUSTEREN: Air Force One I would take, OK? I like Air Force One, but what makes you want this job? I mean, like, why do you even want this?

CLINTON: Because I love my country. I mean, when it comes right down to it.

VAN SUSTEREN: But a lot of people love their country.

CLINTON: Yes, but not everybody is in a position like I have been where I have been so blessed, I have had so many opportunities and I have this unique set of experiences on both ends of Pennsylvania Avenue.

I know that being president is the toughest job in the world. And yet, I believe with all of my heart that we can reverse the damage that has been done during the Bush administration. We can get back to build a strong and prosperous middle class and retain our leadership once again in the world.

And I know that on the other end of Pennsylvania Avenue, the Congress will respond. You know, it is not always easy. But you can put together the votes you need to make the kind of changes that America expects and deserves.

VAN SUSTEREN: One last question, a question I posed to your husband in New Orleans last week, and I would pose to anyone who is in this position is, it is — you get criticized, is it harder for you when your family gets criticized then when we take swipes at you in the media or people take swipes at you?

Is it worse when a family member gets it?

CLINTON: Oh, it is much worse. It is much worse. Because when you are in the arena, you kind of expect it. You know, you put your armor on every day. You go out there. You say what you believe. You keep going. But you know, it is not even just family, but friends, people who you admire and respect.

I mean, that is always tougher.

VAN SUSTEREN: Thanks, Senator.

CLINTON: Thanks, good to see you.

VAN SUSTEREN: Nice to see you.

CLINTON: Thank you.

And isn't it ironic, that the so-called flagships for democracy like the DNC and DFA want to end democracy and cheat Obama into the nomination.

And how laughable is it that they could even equate the Bosnia incident ( a mere blip on the radar for crying out loud) to Obama's Wright nightmare of bad, BAD judgment in the friends he keeps????????? :mad: :mad: :mad:

Have they lost all sense of common SENSE?????? Yup. :p

[Peppermint Patty]

Rove says Obama can only solve this by seating Fl and Mich. hehe

Well that's good to hear. I turned the station because I wanted to feel good after listening to HRC's interview, not get dragged down by Rove bashing her. But what a surprise! Well, good for him. And yes, BO needs to man up and let them seat FL and MI, because the Democrats cannot seriously disenfranchise those voters! It would be a disgrace and voter backlash against the Democrats in November!!!

[Annie]

Out of 85 votes in the Senate relating to the Iraq War, Hillary and Obama have voted in the same way 84/85 times. Only one vote did they vote differently. Oh, but he is the one who "OPPOSES" the war. What garbage.


What was the vote that was different - anybody know?

Also did anybody notice last night on Greta - in the short clip of Wright again there was a woman standing up in his audience who looked the double of Michelle - the rest of the audience were all sitting down - she then sat down when the camera was on her - I didn't tape it so can't take a good look but it looked like her - Anybody see that?

the fact Rove is saying this indicates that the Republicans will use the fact that the not so bright democrats practiced voter disenfranchisement. they will run ads in Florida reminding the swing voters and Reagan Democrats in FL and MI of this . this will guarantee a win for the moderate McCain. Rove, as much as we dislike, him is bright, Bill Clinton even said that

[Annie]

bacio83..... Thank you - That was great to sit with my coffee a square of 86% cocoa chocolate and read. And I also especially loved the last para : You go out there. You say what you believe. You keep going. But you know, it is not even just family, but friends, people who you admire and respect. Thinking of Gerry Ferraro here and all those who have been attacked so virulently by the opposition/media.

It kind of makes me even more determined for Hillary Rodham Clinton.

[LJSNAustin]

to get a Hillary "fix!" We have seen sooo much of O-BLAH-MA and soooo little of her that it was like a breath of fresh air, and kind of like seeing your best friend after a long separation. Hillary just makes me feel at home. I trust her. I can't wait until she is inaugurated as our 44th President! I will walk all the way from TX to DC if I have to in order to be part of that!

[Annie]

The Repubs are Hillary's savior seems they like her more than McCain

Of course they prefer Hil to BO. Initially they probably thought Barak is the easier to take out and they still think that but they are also afraid that the stupido obamomaniacs will take the election through their various means and Hill is much more their cup of tea to actually be President - a known quantity who loves America and crosses the aisle. Rove is just being honest for now.
