Bill Clinton to North Carolina: Don't Let Them 'Stomp Your Voice'
April 30, 2008 9:31 PM
ABC News' Sarah Amos reports: Bill Clinton ended a marathon day of campaigning with an argument to voters why his wife can still be the last Democratic candidate standing in this presidential election.
Standing on the front steps of the train station in Whiteville, N.C., the former president told the crowd that "she's gonna end this thing roaring" if voters give her a victory in North Carolina.
"Just remember this, she got this far because of people like you," Clinton said. "And if you show up and you vote for her in big enough percentages and big enough numbers, she'll go right on. And let me tell you something, last poll in Kentucky she was ahead 62 to 26. Last poll in West Virginia she was ahead two to one. She's gonna end this thing roaring."
With the crowd energized, Clinton continued his thought, telling the crowd to not let other people decide the election for them.
"And what are they gonna say if she wins the popular vote? 'I'm sorry, we are gonna give it to the caucus states that are going Republican in November?'" Clinton told the cheering crowd. "No. So all these people tell you she can't win and that are rushin' to get all the people to declare for it, to send it off, to cut you off, and stomp your voice -- don't you believe them. You are still in the driver seat."
It was a rousing ending to what some reporters felt was a never-ending, seven-event day. Clinton managed to fit baseball fields, barbecue, community centers, front porches and even the Gen. William C. Lee Airborne Museum into the trip -- all the while assuring the voters of North Carolina that a victory in the state would bring Hillary Clinton one step closer to winning the Democratic nomination.

So some guy holds a rally. Why in the hell is ABC not talking about the trial underway right now involving a friend of Hillary's? Why are they not talking about Hillary's lack of resolve to remove Penn from her campaign giving that Obama let his guy go and he did far less! Why in the hell is no one talking about her comments about White working class voters? What about Hillary's comment about Iran?!!! etc. etc. etc. WTF is going on here? She has skated for weeks without ANY coverage!...Mainstream media is full of s&*^. Thank goodness for blogs and other sites like politico... I AM DEEPLY DISAPPOINTED IN THE MEDIA.

donewiththeclintons,
I agree with you. If one were to compare filth for filth of these two people side by side, Hillarys list would be LONNNGGGGGGGGG. And, there would be things on that list directly linked to HER!!!!!
Rezco and Wright is ALL they have on Obama, that's sh*(. I'm not voting for either of them, I'm voting for the candidate. So, I couldn't careless.
Wright is dead. The only ones that will still be talking about it are idiot Clinton supporters that don't have anything else on him. It's dead and they know it. But, they don't have sh^% else to talk about.
Newsflash Clinton people, she is full of dirt - just look around and you will have something to talk about!!
The only reason she is doing better is she has help campaigning - mainly BUBBA Bill himself but Obama is alone.
Doesn't matter b/c she STILL will not get the nomination, mark my words. If she does, she will f'ing LOSE.

My problem is this. Why must Hillary win by attacking Obama? This might answer the question as to why we keep putting people in office that we dislike. This is not a boxing match to see who can be the nastiest person. Clinton wins hands down! If this is the standard we want to judge our president by then don't complain when we put yet another unwanted person in the White House. I will NEVER put a person in the White House who has a problem with the truth. I just had 8 years of that crap. I will vote for the better person and that is Obama.

There is an unwritten rule among the liberal media. Thou shalt not dig up dirt on the Clintons. It takes someone outside the main stream media to bring it up, investigate it, push it, etc, before the MSM will 'pick up the story' and report it as something that somebody else is reporting and talking about. There is such fear of the Clintons in the business. Bosniagate was a great case in point. the media knew she was lying, or at least in error, but no one in the liberal MSM wanted to pursue the story until conservative investigational journalists did the work. Even TV pundits hold back- no one ever talks directly about the Clintons baggage. Too risky, Obama has is work cut out for him, because he's dealing with a stacked deck and a brutal adversary in Hillary.

He was a lair in the WH- his wife is a liar in most everything she does - she is guilty by association of her political meanderings during the 60's, and I wouldn't pi$$ on either of them if they were on fire by the side of the road.

In the landmark civil fraud case against Bill Clinton in Los Angeles, where the former President is charged with defrauding a Hollywood dot com millionaire to help Hillary Clinton obtain more than $1.2 million from him for her 2000 Senate campaign, Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Aurelio Munoz ruled on Friday, April 25 that Hillary Clinton would not be required to testify in a sworn deposition as a material witness in the case until AFTER the November election!
Equally surprising as the ruling was the judge’s request to Hillary defense lawyer David Kendall to “say hello to his ( Judge Munoz”) friend Bill, also a partner in Kendall’s law firm”
Same Old, Same old

Do they not know that insulting all these caucus states isn't going to help them in November? Do they get telling people in Washington that they shouldn't count now is keeping that state blue in the fall? What is wrong with these people?

When people look at the real issues and who is best to solve problems, Hillary was and still is the best candidate. Obama's constant soap opera with Wright hasn't changed that. Bill Clinton is right in telling people not to get discouraged, they should still vote for the candidate who can make REAL change. By the way, Wright will never go away. Someone on Fox just pointed out what Wright said about coming after Obama if he is elected. What a tangled web he has weaved....

You tell 'em, Bill! Obama, Howie "the scream" Dean, Kerry, Kennedy, and Pelosi all want to dictate to YOU, North Carolina and Indiana, who your democratic nominee will be. IT'S NOT THEIR DECISION!
Obama is NOT a victim. He knew exactly what Rev. Wright was preaching and he believes it. His wife, Michele believes it. Obama's allegiance is to himself, not to America.
Rise Hillary, Rise!

God Bless you Bill! Many of us still love you here in North Carolina. You can count on me to vote for Hillary on May 6th.

I was at the event. Clinton had the crowd in the palm of his hand. He did a great job.

When is the truth about these 2 going to make a difference. Do we really want to let this man have a crack at more interns. How many more ???gates do we suffer through? The media has a respomsibility to research their friends and associates. I'm sure they'll find more than an old bigot and a businessman/

Senator Clinton is the candidate with the leadership qualities and compassion for the people to unite our country and move it forward in a positive direction.
Senator Obama cannot win in the general election. A vote for Senator Obama is a vote for John McCain.
GO HILLARY!

No lies, just facts. I feel more comfortable with a candidate that has a voting track record that agrees with their position on issues during the campaign. We know where Senator Hillary Clinton stands on the issues.(Obama votes 'present' on many issues) She will protect American jobs and has shown her commitment to job protection by voting No to Nafta expansion (Obama voted to expand Nafta in October 2007)and has a plan to increase jobs. Her experience in helping with the peace process in Northern Ireland has resulted in a lasting peace there. Hillary's healthcare plan will provide healthcare for all who want healthcare. Hillary supported getting the s-CHIP program for childrens healthcare into Pennsylvania, which is one of the few states with a children's healthcare program. (There is not a similar s-CHIP healthcare plan for children in Illinois) She also voted against the partial birth abortion bill. (Obama voted for partial birth abortion and also voted against mandatory care for newborns.) Hillary attended US public schools and will work to improve education. Senator Clinton shares the core values of most Americans, which is why I feel that she will make a good president.
