Hillary unveils new Pro-Obama effort

MINNEAPOLIS — Hillary Rodham Clinton stepped up her efforts Friday to swing her supporters behind Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama, her former rival for the nomination.

In an outreach dubbed "Hillary Sent Me," the New York senator invited her primary-season partisans to get involved directly in Obama's campaign and to donate to it. As part of that, she urged them to travel to a specific battleground state each weekend, beginning with New Hampshire on Sept. 27, when she will be campaigning for Obama in Michigan.

"Today I am asking all of you to stand up with me, to hit the road and spread the word that we must elect Barack Obama president and send a Democratic, filibuster-proof majority to Congress," Clinton told supporters in a conference call Friday. "This is a call to action, a must-do. We all have a role. And there is not a moment to lose."

Starting Saturday, Clinton's political Web site will offer backers information about Democratic campaign events and grassroots efforts.


...

The New York senator has already campaigned for Obama in Ohio, Florida, Nevada and New Mexico and raised more than $5 million for his campaign. "Hillary Sent Me" is her first explicit pitch to her grass roots supporters to get involved, Clinton aides said.

2. I love it

I can officially say no matter what I love that woman. Her husband not so much all the time but Hillary has got me. I was really not a fan of hers during the primary but I have to give credit where credit is due. She's a great person. She does NOT have to do all that she has for Obama. She has really handled herself with class and dignity and is fighting for the people. She's doing this for the people. She is a woman of the people for sure. She put herself to the side and is doing what's good for the country in a way that past rivals never have.

I commend Senator Clinton!!

10. I wasn't even a Hillary supporter, and the anti-Hillary stuff is just retarded anymore....

She's next in line for Senate Majority Leader, she LOVES Joe Biden, and she knows that another 4 years of McLiar will be an absolute disaster. She has campaigned HARD for Obama at the convention and after the convention. What more do we want? She campaigned for Obama in Florida, the Palin bounce collapsed. She went to Pennsylvania. The same. Ohio. Same. She has already agreed to spend a lot of time in Michigan also. She has raised more money for Obama's campaign than she has to pay off her own debt. And people still complain. I wasn't even a Hillary supporter. Back off her, and stop dissing President Clinton.

That's what I say.
