Clinton: 'Still the Underdog' in Indiana
May 04, 2008 5:14 PM
ABC News' Eloise Harper reports: Sen. Hillary Clinton greeted a group of about 150 volunteers in South Bend, Ind., Sunday afternoon. She thanked the group for their work and delivered another short stump speech with a focus on the high gas prices she has been harping on for days.
Clinton got a bit fired up when she spoke about protecting the American people. “I am unabashed. I am unapologetic. I am going to fight for the middle class, and I am going to take on the oil companies.”
Clinton urged her supporters to be there for her on Tuesday. She set low expectations, saying she has been down and still is down. “Let’s just do this final push. We came from so far behind in Indiana. We're still the underdog. But we are moving forward. We’re moving forward because of you.”
Clinton and Sen. Barack Obama will speak this evening at the Jefferson Jackson dinner in Indianapolis, before Clinton heads back to North Carolina. Both candidates have been maintaining a grueling schedule hopping back and forth between the two states in advance of the primary on Tuesday.

Hillary has been the underdog before and has come back even stronger. With Obama's favorability polls deceasing at break-neck speed, it's only a matter of time before the primary results reveal what many of us already knew was a foregone eventuality-- Obama will never reach the presidency.

Theres no need to fear she not a underdog
Underdog is a freind of mine and she is not a underdog

Clinton appeared today in front of real live voters on This Week and answered the tough questions - not only from her own supporters but also from Obama supporters.
Where was "Girly Man" Obama? He was cowering in a TV studio dancing around softball questions from Tim Russert on the weekly Obama infomercial otherwise known as Meet the Press.
Aren't we all getting tired of his weak, incomplete explanations about why it took him so long to get out of that church. He's just too much trouble. Why do WE have to get to know him better. What I've seen, I don't like.
End the Drama - Pull the Plug on Obama!

Obama is done. He continues to try to explain away rev. wright, its not working. His anger and bitterness are bubbling at the surface. Americans aren't going to go for it....
JackT51: Watch and learn. Hillary wins both primaries.
Go Hillary!

ghm:
you need to get a life, you seem so angry. I guess that is what happens when you seem your candidate emplode right before your eyes.
Go take a walk, you'll feel better. And I know you know that's what Obama wants you to do "feel better", in the meantime, the rest of us will get to the business of getting the country on the right track.

I think the fact that so many former Clinton supporters who knew her well, like Bill Richardson, Robert Reich, Sam Nunn and Joe Andrew, have deserted her says more than anything about her.
The people who know her best are fed up, and just can't take her crap anymore. She can't be trusted.

Obama can't debate again he is afraid he'll have to answer about his mentor Wright and to funny Dean on Fox this min. has had a touch up to his hair and eye brows got his lapel pin on what a jerk.

Why can't Hillary ever stop pandering?
Posted by: FilmMD | May 4, 2008 6:07:45 PM
all so noble for thier own cause and losers most dem in ga don't think much about Nunn .

Did anyone see the Clinton interview on ABC with George Stephanopoulos?

Hillary does not pander she tells it like it is Obama panders he has yet to talk issues.
Posted by: Bishop | May 4, 2008 6:10:46 PM
Gee, what happened to the "new politics," a new way of doing things? All this venom from OB's supporters doesn't sound particularly different, let alone new.
Senator Clinton can be counted on to do this: she'll fight for this nomination and she'll for ordinary people right to the end. That is neither evil or contentious. It's admirable.

I guess you see only what you want to see. Seems you missed the headlines beside this story that says Obama rebounding in the polls.

FilmMD,
The so-called deserters, those are traditional politicians that like to place their money on the winning horse so they get a pay-off later. As we see, it doesn't always work that way. In the end Bill Richardson might as well have placed a big red cancelled stamp on his national political future. Hillary is going to win this thing yet!
========================================
Hillary, the toughest campaigner in history!
She defnitely has the guts and stands up for the working class!

operation chaos is in full effect!!!!! keep it up democrats!!!!

Fact : the economy is sliding downward. And there goes Obama promising change. Boy, oh boy !! Lets have solutions instead. Time for rhetoric on change is fruitless. We need leadership not debates. And Obama does not seem to be delivering. Let's face it : he's no Roosevelt.
Posted by: Paulus | May 4, 2008 6:16:49 PM
Grueling schedules, not Obama? The Clinton's as of tomorrow will have had 72 campaign events in NC to Obama's 12.

In your dreams! I'm betting on 0-2 for Clinton.
Obama 2008 -- Yes, WE CAN!!!!

Is Hillary about to follow suit of the Kentucky filly: push herself so hard that she dies after the race. It doesn't look good for her. Some one better monitor her pulse...
