Clinton Fires Up New Hampshire's Democratic Faithful (HILLARY GROUP)

[DeepModem Mom]

Manchester, New Hampshire (CNN) Hillary Clinton fired up the most faithful Granite State Democrats on Saturday, outlining her vision for the future and the rationale behind her run in a well received speech at the New Hampshire Democratic Party's convention here.

"If you want a president who will tell you everything that is wrong with America and who is to blame for it, you've got plenty of other choices. And my goodness, didn't we hear enough of that the other night at the Republican debate," Clinton said to a cheering crowd. "But if you want a president who will listen to you, work her heart out to make your life better, and together to build a stronger, fairer, better country, then you are looking at her."...

Clinton's team of supporters and aides arrived outside the arena at 4:00 a.m., lining up along the street with signs as a show of force to the passing cars and other Democratic candidates.

That presence extended inside the arena, too, where many of the seats were filled with Clinton supporters. During her remarks, too, a few Sanders supporters clapped and cheered when she spoke about drug treatment, campaign finance reform and social security.

"Everyone needs a champion and I am just getting warmed up," Clinton said. "I believe in America, but I believe in America, we should have each other's backs. We should lift each other up, not tear each other down."

Clinton's remarks were chock full of red meat, lines aimed at connecting with the reliably Democratic primary voters.

The former secretary of state described CNN's GOP debate this week as "15 candidates, five hours, not a single fighter for the middle class."...

Not all Republicans, though, drew Clinton's ire. Clinton mentioned South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham twice during her nearly 40-minute speech, noting that they worked together on National Guard issues during their time in the Senate and the fact that Graham said something nice about her at the GOP debate.

"Hillary Clinton has a list a mile long to help the middle class," Graham said at the debate. Clinton said that was possibly the only true thing said during the GOP event....

1. I like her statement "But if you want a president who will listen to you, work her heart out to make

your life better, and together to build a stronger, fairer, better country, then you are looking at her."...

This is a great statement, she has been a strong advocate for all the right reasons, she will serve all Americans.

Me, my hat goes to anyone who takes the opportunity to care for their parents. A touching moment for Hillary.

I think New Hampshire will go for Hillary. I only wish my dear relatives were still alive to vote for her. They were the ones who first got me interested in Hillary many years ago. I still have her biography they gave me to read.

She is just getting warmed up and she's already got the GOP scared to death and they are bringing out every vile thing they can. It shows what they really are when they bring out ugly stuff, it is all they got.

5. She seems to get better and better at these stump speeches.

She seems much more confident and relaxed than in the previous run.
