Hillary in the House
October 15, 2008 2:28 PM
HEMPSTEAD, N.Y. -- Since Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton is so firmly committed to being “the best senator from New York that I can be,” naturally she’s showing up at tonight’s presidential debate in her home state.
She’ll be in the hall at Hofstra this evening -- which makes for some intriguing opportunities for the debate’s contestants.
Does Sen. Barack Obama recognize her in some way? Or does Sen. John McCain do so first?
Does McCain use her presence to remind viewers that Clinton was the first to raise the Obama-Bill Ayers relationship in a debate, saying at ABC’s debate in April that it is “an issue that people will be asking about” -- and predicting (rightly, it would turn out) “that this is an issue that certainly the Republicans will be raising”?
Unlike New York’s senior senator, Charles Schumer, Clinton is not on the Obama campaign’s designated list of post-debate spinners.
But she will be making the TV rounds during post-debate coverage, according to a spokesman -- regardless of whether she comes up in tonight’s discussion.

Nobama will kiss her a$# tonight. Truth is she's been a friend to McCain for a long time. I hope the old man shocks everyone tonight and does something spectacular!!! Shut the left wing media up!!!!!!

I am glad McCain finally confronted Obama about his "friends". It is too bad the media and press are not looking into all of this like they have Sara Palin's ex brother in law!

I thought Obama went to an Ivy league school. Did he not take a basic speech class where they teach & critique on how not to use the word "Ah"? He says it approximately 10 times per response.

of all the stations covering the election ABC has the hardest ticker to read. Too many moving boxes and it is hard to quickly see the info. Too bad since George S is the best commentator. its not too late to tell the graphics people to simplify the bottom ticker...
