Clinton says people spoke

Posted by Foon Rhee, deputy national political editor February 5, 2008 10:55 PM

Hillary Clinton, after key wins in Massachusetts, New Jersey, and New York, claimed tonight people from all walks of life spoke today in supporting her for president.

"Tonight we are hearing the voices of people across America... all those who aren't in the headlines, but write America's story," she told supporters in New York City.

She listed all the states she won. "It's not over yet," she said, referring to the big prize of California, where the polls don't close until 11 p.m. EST.

Clinton also vowed to take on the Republicans and win back the White House for the Democrats.

"I won't let anyone Swift Boat this country," she said, referring to the damaging attacks on Senator John F. Kerry's Vietnam War record during the 2004 campaign.

She congratulated Barack Obama for his victories, then said, "I look forward to continuing our competition and our race."

  1. Why do so many woman want her to be the next President. In many countries women are already considered second class citizens what do you think they will think if we elect her after Bush. Do you really think they will take her seriously she has been seen crying during the campaign. She did not cry over her husbands infidelity. Was it all a game to get votes, or is she weak in that way. Think about it.
