LAS VEGAS STOP: Clinton pitch hits home Democratic hopeful goes door to door

That is the warm, earnest, human side of campaigning, politicians comforting people with detailed explanations of how they will solve their problems and flattering them with their presence.

There was nobody who didn't know who the Democratic presidential candidate and former first lady was, even if they didn't speak English or weren't old enough to vote. They flocked to her for camera-phone pictures, and she posed in tableaux of adorable multicultural children.

Clinton and her busload of traveling press moved from there to the popular local Mexican restaurant Lindo Michoacan, where a "roundtable" that was actually square passed a microphone around to tell her people's concerns about the mortgage crisis and foreclosures. She took notes and munched on tortilla chips.

In broken English, one woman told Clinton how she wasn't making money as a broker anymore.
"I have no income at all," she said. "So how will I survive?"
Choking up with emotion, the woman said, "In my neighborhood, there are brand-new homes, but the value is nothing. I'm glad you are here so I can tell you, because you're going to be the president, I know."

1. A DUer took "She took notes and munched on tortilla chips." and spun it as pandering....

DU never changes... :eyes:

2. Ain't that da truth...

...and I've become awfully suspicious of some so-called "Democrats" posting vicious stuff here, especially of Hillary C. Right-wing dirty tricks, anyone?

4. God forbid anyone criticize St. Hillary.

:eyes:

5. It's not the criticism that irks me, it's the unhinged tone of some of

the posted stuff, which really smack too much of the right wing attacks since 1992. I actually take into consideration the more level-headed critiques of HRC, and I know she's not a perfect candidate. No one is! Different people have different issues that matter to them, so the difference in opinion and consequent choice of candidate.

By the way, it's more like St. Obama at present, judging by the way that awful MS media have been all but anointing him as the Chosen One these past week. But that may change, with this fickle media that praise someone to high heavens, only to take them down the next moment.

6. Criticize you betcha. Spin two selected lines from a two page story to smear her?

That's not criticism, that's Rovism.

7. Rovian scheming is a standard fare of the anti-Clinton crowd.

3. She listens. People vote for her. Cause and effect. K&R!
