CLINTON 2008

To all of my valued supporters, without whom I would not be where I am today, thank you.

As “Super Tuesday” approaches, your presence and your confidence in my campaign and me is even more greatly felt and more deeply appreciated than ever before. It is because of people like you that I am a procurable winning candidate in the 2008 primary election. And the support from people like you won me the state of New Hampshire. We can now also claim victory in Florida as of yesterday! And with much support in California, notably the recent endorsement by Congresswoman Maxine Waters, I foresee another feasible victory. Surveys in Tennessee and Oklahoma show that we are ahead of Obama by 11 points and 17 points, respectively. We have received African American celebrity endorsements from people such as Magic Johnson and Maya Angelou. We are running 2 to 1 among California Latinos against Obama, who is now our sole competitor as of today because of Edwards’ recent withdrawal from the election. John Edwards is a passionate man who loves his country, and a great politician who fights for those who need it. I give him all of my respect and I wish him the best for the future.

Now we are that much closer to gaining the Democratic nomination for the President of the United States. I am looking forward to my upcoming California campaign where I will be rallying in San Jose, San Diego and Los Angeles over the next three days. I am asking for your continued support throughout the next few months, while we charge for the November finish line.

Thank you.

Hillary Clinton won a significant victory today in the Florida primary with biggest turnout in Florida Democratic primary history. She will end up with more votes than John McCain, the winner of the Republican primary. And Floridians cast more votes than were cast in Iowa, Nevada, South Carolina, and New Hampshire combined.

A large, broad, and diverse group of voters came out and voted for Hillary in Florida. She won women, men, and just about every age category. She won nearly 6 in 10 Latinos and nearly 3 in 10 African American voters.

The vote turned out to be far more than symbolic. Well over 1.5 million Democrats cast their ballots, more than twice the number of voters who came out to vote in the 2004 primary.

Most of the voters in Florida fully expect that their votes will not be wasted again -- they too have a voice at the convention, and Hillary has asked her delegates to support their being seated.

This result comes after Senator Obama ran TV commercials that reached Florida homes and after the enormous publicity he received for South Carolina and for the Ted Kennedy endorsement. The exit polls show widespread recognition of the endorsement -- but even so among those who decided on Election Day, a plurality of those chose Hillary.

But any momentum seemed to run out today -- among those who decided on Election Day, a plurality of those chose Hillary.

CLINTON SHOWS OBAMA WHO’S BOSS in DEBATE


MYRTLE BEACH, South Carolina, Jan. 21, 2008 – Hillary Clinton held her own Monday night at a heated Democratic debate. Senators Barrack Obama and John Edwards were the other two candidates who joined Clinton at the debate, although Obama and Clinton dominated the evening, as the Senator from Illinois continued to make numerous attacks on Clinton.

Obama started the bickering on Monday by attacking Clinton on her prior business endeavors, which many considered irrelevant to this election. This nit-picking from the Obama campaign is something that Clinton has adjusted to, defending herself in a dignified way.

Tuesday Clinton reflected on the debates the previous evening stating, “I think what we saw last night is that he’s very frustrated. He clearly came – he telegraphed it, he talked about it – he clearly came last night looking for a fight. He was determined and launched right in” (foxnews.com).

Senator Clinton left South Carolina today for California where she will accept the backing from the United Farm Workers Union, something she feels honored about. Her campaign continues at full steam and is preparing for Super Tuesday, only two weeks away.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Hillary was raised in a middle-class family in the middle of America. She went on to become one of America's foremost advocates for children and families; an attorney twice voted one of the most influential in America; a First Lady of Arkansas who helped transform the schools; a bestselling author; a First Lady for America who helped transform that role, becoming a champion for health care and families at home and a champion of women's rights and human rights around the world.

Since her path-breaking election to the United States Senate, Hillary has been a steadfast advocate for middle-class families, working to help create jobs, expand children's health care and protect Social Security from privatization. As the Senator representing New York after 9/11, Hillary has fought to strengthen our approach to homeland security and to improve our communications and intelligence operations. As the first New Yorker ever named to the Senate Armed Services Committee, Hillary has been a tough critic of the administration's bungling of Iraq and a fierce advocate for proper equipment, health benefits, and treatment for military families.

Bill, without a doubt, is Hillary's number one supporter, and claims that he would vote for her even if he were not her husband. This support from Bill as well as students and residents illustrates the huge following and success of Hillary's campaign.
