A new edge to Clinton's stump
Ken Vogel reports from McAllen Texas that Clinton has reworked her stump speech to sharpen her attacks on Obama.
“There is a big difference," she said. “I am in the solutions business, my opponent is in the promises business.”
“We need real results, not more rhetoric. We need to get back in the solutions business. That’s why I have a plan that will cover every American with health insurance, stop these foreclosures and put people back to work,” she said, adding that she and edwards agreed on need for moratorium on foreclosures, while Obama doesn't.
"It’s not the questions, it’s the answers, and the answers get right to the heart of who is ready on day one to be the president and commander in chief of the United States."
“I have solutions to these economic challenges. The question today is does Sen. Obama? Because a plan that fails to provide universal healthcare, fails to address the housing crisis and fails to immediately start creating good paying jobs in America again, will not turn the economy around and provide the real relief that our people need," she said.
She only made one allusion to the lengthening odds she faces:
“Two of my personal heroines came out of Texas. You remember Congresswoman Barbara Jordan, Gov Ann Richards. They taught me about courage and determination. I can hear their voices saying: ‘You keep going, you give the people a real choice.'”"
She also picked up this endorsement. He's also dead:
".... former Sen. John Edwards is as split as the party he once hoped to lead and is seriously considering supporting Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, despite the sharp criticism he leveled at her on the campaign trail, according to former aides and advisers....
several Edwards campaign insiders say the former senator began to sour on Obama toward the end of his own campaign, and ultimately left the race questioning whether Obama had the toughness needed to prevail in a presidential race.... "
I never liked Edwards anyway.
I saw him as talking the talk, but not walking the walk.
He got enough airtime (despite his complaining) that he was considered an establishment candidate.
Imagine where he would have been had his name been Ron Paul or Dennis Kucinich.
He rarely would have been on T.V., and if he had, it would have been to bash him.
