ABC News' Eloise Harper Reports: Senator Hillary Clinton's press secretary came to the back of Clinton's press bus Friday morning and stated that the senator and her team were "pumped" after last night's debate. Clinton spoke quickly at a Dallas rally saying, "In the debate last night, I made it very clear that this election is about you. It's about your futures, your families, your jobs."

Clinton took subtle swipes at her rival, telling the crowd, "I will be a president who doesn't just give lip service to our veterans but real service to our veterans." She continued, "On the economy, we have to create more good jobs for Texans and Americans. You can't vote for Dick Cheney's energy bill and then turn around and say you are going to have a different energy policy."

"I am committed to work with you to create the kind of political change that will actually create results," Clinton said at the outdoor rally of about three-hundred enthusiastic people

Clinton added, "I do want to turn hope into reality, promises into practice, and words into action."

Senator Clinton made her way on and off the stage quickly – greeting the audience – and then spoke to the press briefly afterwards about the death of a Dallas police officer.

Well, its been a long and dramatic journey for Mrs.Clinton from crocodile tears in New hampshire to suddenly remembering wounded soldiers in Iraq (which ironically are part there, thanks to her)..pls madam stop all this dramatics and let go off in a graceful way and let people remember you as a genuine and good person rather than a s artificial person who uses media to reach out to women by crying out to them..and emotionally blackmailing them.

pathetic, super pathetic. The debate has shown a small Hillary and a great Obama. She has to know that she has authorized a war which has destabilized the US economy, killed 4000 young men and women and made 15 times more wounded veterans. Judgement, again Judgement is what will make Obama a great president of the USA.

Yes, thanks to her and almost everyone else in the senate at the time. Obama is lifting speach lines from a govenor that promised hope and who's only idea for raising revenues in Massachusetts is to give the big casino companies a free ride.

I can't deny Hillary's experience after seeing the video of Edwards's and Bill Clinton's statments which were almost identical to parts of Hillary's Debate conclusion... I mean her experience in xeroxing speech.

She gave the explanation of what she was not asked. She did not answer the right questions. I do not know she did not understand what she was asked, or she did not know the answers and was trying to dogde.

Two things, I agree with the lady on TV who said that she registered to vote when she was 18, and since that time until today her 39th birthday she has never voted in an election that didn't have a Bush or a Clinton in it. And another thing I am not a male chauvenist but the people we are fighting are. Question: Do you think the Muslims will give serious consideration what a female says.

Clinton did fine last night. So did Obama.

In fact, I expected Clinton to go scorched-earth, and she didn't, seemingly recognizing that party damage is a possibility. Putting the party above herself is good to see.

I don't think the people here making attacks on Hillary Clinton are brainwashed, they just use her as an excuse for their real hateful selves.

Another great debate performance from Hillary last night – she was, as always, strong, smart and in total command of the specifics. I hope she is our next PRESIDENT – WE NEED HER!

It's good to see Sen. Clinton invigorated. At least she stands for something and isn't a media-made celebrity with empty promises. One day our nation will learn.....one day.

Everything Hillary does is problem to people and everything Obama does is great and people applaud like they have never seen it before. There is just something wrong about that.

texans for Hillary, understand the word "independent" don't follow the crowd, weird as it seems, swimming against the tide? no problemo.

I am voting for Hillary Clinton. She has the experience, knows the job, is a fighter, she has a realistic perspective on handling issues and how to use politically correct negotiations. The world is in a state of CRISIS and I don't want someone in office with training wheels on. I don't want someone that is going in with "hands on learning as you go". I want someone that will come in and do the job immediately. The world cannot take a chance on allowing someone to come in inexperienced and not have a realistic view on handling issues and getting issues resolved. Hillary knows the job, can do the job and will bring the economic, healthcare issue, war issues to the front table. She is a Person of her Word and she goes in with a realistic AGENDA. I have full confidence that she will make a positive difference!!!! I'm not concerned with FEELING GOOD WITH INSPIRATIONAL SPEECHES. If I WANT A FEEL GOOD SERMAN, I'LL GO TO CHURCH AND LISTEN TO MY PASTOR.

OBAMA WAS A CLASS ACT LAST NIGHT AND MADE HILLARY "EAT HER WORDS"!! HOW CAN SHE KEEP WITH HER SAME SPEECH WHEN OBAMA LAID OUT HIS SOLUTIONS AND PROVED THAT HE IS EXPERIENCED AND HAS MORE SUBSTANCE, HONESTY AND JUDGEMENT THAN HILLARY!! AND BELIEVE ME IF PEOPLE WOULD DO THEIR HOMEWORK AND STOP HATING THEY WOULD SEE THAT HE HAS MORE ACCOMPLISHMENTS THAN HE EVEN SPEAKS ABOUT!! HE'S BEING HUMBLE BUT HE IS THE MOST INTELLIGENT AND SENSIBLE ONE OUT OF THE TWO AND VERY SWEET AND FAIR!! OBAMA IS OUR NEXT PRESIDENT AND WE AROUND THE COUNTRY HAS ALREADY DECIDED! YES WE CAN!!

Lynn Lee: You must have been watching a different debate. Mr. Obama stuttered and stammered all the way through the debate, and he took every one of Hillary's policies and re worded it as his own, plus her ending statement blew him totally out of the water. She is presidential material. Mr Obama is not.

THANKS RUBY, YOU EXPRESS FOR ME TOO.
TEXANS VOTE FOR HILLARY.

Posted by: HA DOAN | Feb 22, 2008 3:34:52 PM

lynn lee, is it safe to say, you will vote for Obama no matter what? you like it when he says he does not accept lobbyist's money. what if you found out that he did? (which he does. he does not accept from REGISTERED Washington lobbyists. but he take is from others including Exelon Corp. which is a large energy company in IL and from lawyers who represent lobbyists) would that change your mind or would you make excuses for him?

Sorry Jozy: You can't blame the entire war and our dead heroes on Mrs. Clinton. There were many more votes than hers to allow military intervention. I think you should be blaming President Bush instead of Mrs. Clinton don't you.

Posted by: Jay | Feb 22, 2008 3:36:27 PM

Hillary is a fake>>>> she knows how to push the right buttons She is not strong enought to run the country.
Her big thing is to do and say exactly what the press or some one tells her to so.She says what you numb heads want to hear and you are dumb enought ot listen.OH well takes all kinds.
