The Stars Come Out For Clinton

ABC News' Eloise Harper Reports: The stars aligned as Hillary Clinton greeted over 500 supporters at a post-debate campaign rally in Las Vegas, Nev. on Tuesday night.

America Ferrera (star of ABC's television show "Ugly Betty") graced the stage alongside Chelsea Clinton with other women supporters, and introduced the Democratic senator from New York.

"This is the moment where our voices actually matter" Ferrera told the adoring crowd. The Hollywood actress also said to the audience that she and Chelsea Clinton had spent the day campaigning together for Hillary Clinton.

Hillary walked on to the stage with a new addition to her soundtrack – Gloria Estefan's famous "Get On Your Feet."  The song played at a rally Clinton had a few days ago for Union Workers and it seems it has stuck.

"I'm relying on each and every one of you," Clinton said to the crowd, urging them to caucus for her this upcoming Saturday.

Clinton praised her democratic rivals but added, "I'm not asking you to take a leap of faith on me," and then spoke of her experience making change.

Clinton spends Wednesday morning in Las Vegas and will attend an event about Nevada's Yucca Mountain.

Oh, Jaba, thanks so much for having already elected Hillary. Don't you think we need some change after seven years of watching our constitutional rights fly out the window, seeing the economy hit the crapper, and watching the Middle East come completely unglued?

And what exactly is your problem with electing a woman?

This has nothing to do with a women president as much as another Clinton in office, we need a break from this dynasty of Bush's and Clintons, This is Amercia not England

Its sick how she's allowed to play the gender card as some sort of payback on men, and no one says a word. Will she be President of females only? Will she put males in cages? This is NOT 1969 and people are done with burning bras. And no one OWES her anything. I think her idea of governing is very similar to Bush in regards to a near authoritative approach. I would LOVE to have a female President. Just not a vindictive, spiteful one that can't admit fault.

Just what we want; a woman in office who will start crying when the going gets tough. Give me a break New Hampshire!!!!!!!!!!!

don't forget men presidents have cried in public before so get off your moral horse and find other reasons not to like her.

To you Bonni- you are right this is not England - England has only been around for over 1000 years. How long has the USA been around. Maybe we should learn from other countries instead of being arrogant.

Get over the dynasty stuff! If Hillary is the BEST person for the job, then she should be elected. She's got my vote precisely because I believe she's the BEST in the field. Hillary should have your vote too!

John has it right, who is BEST for the job, not who you like or don't like, and Clinton is definitely best for the job in the entire field, both Republican and Democrat. It is sad that the insulting and mud slinging has to continue - why is it necessary?
