Clinton To Stump For Obama In Florida

By: Scott Conroy
Topics: Hillary Clinton

Hillary Clinton will campaign for her former Democratic rival Barack Obama in South Florida on Thursday, the Obama campaign announced. The New York senator will make public appearances in Palm Beach and Broward Counties.

In Palm Beach, Clinton "will host a rally focused on why Barack Obama is the only choice for voters who care about issues important to women in this election," according to the Obama campaign's press release.

Clinton will be the headline speaker next Tuesday night at the Democratic convention in Denver. The date of her speech falls on the certification of the 88th anniversary of the 19th Amendment to the Constitution, which mandated women's suffrage.

Not only that, we''re already sick of hearing that same. exact. manner. when. he. talks. He can''t give a speach talking about himself and his plans only. He talks too much about what McCain is doing. How is that he''s so familiar with John McCain''s details but doesn''t know his own? It has been my experience that those who put others down are insecure with themselves. Then again, Obama standing beside the Clinton''s and McCain, he does pale in comparison. McCain will beat Obama and Hillary will be back in 2012!!! Hillary, the Dem''s turned their back on you ... turn your back on them and mend the fences over the next 4 years. Your friends will support you no matter what. See ya in 2012!!; Reply to this comment

*** If you hate Obama so much, why didn''t you help the Republicans pick a better candidate than Amnesty Mccain! ANYONE would be better than Amnesty Mccain! I would rather vote for Obama that sounds like a foriegn name, rather than AMnesty Mccain who wants to let over 20 million foreigners in our country get amnesty, even though they came here illegal! Amnesty Mccain only cares about Oil Executives and illegals!; Reply to this comment


by tomcool1277 August 20, 2008 7:25 AM EDT: I will vote against Obama, because the press screwed Hillary and so did the DNC, but I would love to see and hear Hillary. When McCain wins, I am looking forward to her beating him in 2012.

*** I can''t believe you idiots want to see Amnesty Mccain become president. You must not like speaking english or something. You do realize that Amnesty Mccain is going to give amnesty to over 20 million illegals, and make Spanish the number one language in the United States of Oil Excutives!; Reply to this comment

Thanks to the suffragettes, women now have voices and choices!

But most people are totally in the dark about HOW the suffragettes won, and what life was really like for women before they did.

Now readers can discover the shocking truth, and it''s as easy as opening their e-mail.

"The Privilege of Voting" is a new free e-mail series that follows eight great women from 1912 - 1920 to reveal ALL that happened to set the stage for women to win the vote.

This is no boring history report.

Two beautiful and extremely powerful suffragettes -- Alice Paul and Emmeline Pankhurst are featured, along with Edith Wharton, Isadora Duncan, Alice Roosevelt and two gorgeous presidential mistresses.

There are tons of heartache for these heroines on the rocky road to the ballot box, but in the end, they WIN!

Unique sequential e-mail series -- each exciting episode is about 10 minutes -- perfect to enjoy during coffeebreaks, or anytime.
