ABC News' Eloise Harper Reports: Senator Hillary Clinton marked her second trip aboard a campaign plan packed with reporters by getting on the intercom and impersonating a flight attendant.
"Welcome to Hill-Force One," Clinton said. "FAA regulations prohibit the use of any cell phones, blackberries and/or wireless devices that may be used to transmit a negative story about me."
"Now in a few minutes," she continued, "I am going to switch off the fasten your seatbelt sign, however, I've learned lately that things can get oftly bumpy when you least expect it, so you might want to keep those seatbelts fastened."
"In the event of an unexpected drop in poll numbers, this plane will be diverted to New Hampshire."
"If you look out to the right, you will see an America saddled with tax cuts for the wealthiest and a war without end. If you look out to the left, you will see an America with a strong middle class at home and a strong reputation in the world."
"Once we have reached cruising altitude we will be offering in flight entertainment, my stump speech, in its many variations."
"Once again, thank you for joining us on Hill-Force One. We know you have choices when you fly, and so we are grateful that you chose the plane with the most experienced candidate. Thank you all, have a great flight."
Clinton boarded the plane from the front and reporters filed in through the back. Despite the announcement, the candidate hasn't yet entered the reporters section of the plane.

I am ok with hope - just as long as we know that's what it is - but if we start thinking that we can stay at home from work and “hope” will get the job done than we have a problem, if we start thinking that “hope” we correct this economy than we have a problem, if we start thinking that “hope” will stabilize the middle east than we have a problem, if we start thinking that “hope” will pay the mortgage and the rest of the bills than we have a problem. Now when you look past the "record" of “hope” what else do you have ? “present” will not do the job or anything else for that matter.
I will vote for experience and that vote will be for Hillary, which is the best way to make “hope” becomes a “real” possibility!
