Clinton: Women Are the Core of the Democratic Party

Posted on May 8, 2008 by donnadarko

Do you know difficult it is for women to stand up and say we are the best at anything? The Democratic Party has to know that women are the core, women have to be at the table and women are going to be heard as we continue in these contests until they finally end.

–Hillary Clinton

Washington Wire:

Campaign Chairman Terry McAuliffe offered no indication that Clinton would be slowing down in her bid for the White House. “She is going to Denver as the nominee of the Democratic Party of the United States of America. And then she’s going to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue as the president of the United States of America.”

“I’ve been counted out more than once. But thanks to all of you I’ve come back,” Clinton said. “When I was counted out in New Hampshire, it was the women of New Hampshire who came back and said, ‘No, she’s not finished yet.’ When I was counted out before Super Tuesday it was women from California to Massachusetts who came and said ‘No, we’re not finished yet.’ When I was counted out before Ohio, before Indiana, we have always come back.”

“She’s got it,” said Morley Klausner, a 60-year-old retired New Yorker. “She’s going to win.” Lisa Cohen, a 45-year-old doctor who has a medical laboratory in Newton, Mass., came down to Washington specifically for the fundraiser. “Nobody’s down in the dumps; everybody is very excited,” she said.

    I like Hillary because she’s a fighter and because she stands up for democracy. She will be the nominee in August! When the mayor of Gary deliberately tried to obscure her victory Tuesday night, I kept going back to this:

    and reading along and saying “Yeah!” I’m sick of the women like Betsy Reed attacking Hillary and trying to act like they do it as ’sisters.’ My loudest “YEAH!” moment is this part:

    Poor little Betsy, hiding in the shadows, plotting Panhandle Media’s take down of Hillary, penning the cover story of yet another attack on Hillary, and she’s still standing. She’s still fighting, she’s still winning. That’s because real women know nothing is given. That’s because real women know how to fight. It’s fight or die. It’s fight or be raped.

    I have to wonder: would someone try to delay the reporting of a state’s primary just to avoid giving the winner primetime media coverage of said victory?

    Hmmm….

    That Senator Clinton sure is a fighter.

    Keep fighting for Hillary, because she keeps fighting for us:

    It was to prevent donations and momentum to Hillary.
