After a Hiatus, Clinton Responds To Voters Again
NASHUA, N.H. -- The morning after placing third in Iowa Democratic caucuses, Hillary Clinton was back on the campaign trail in New Hampshire and she's not taking any chances.
In the few hours Clinton had before arriving to New Hampshire, she hatched a new plan. The post-Iowa caucuses Clinton seems to have realized she cannot win in New Hampshire if she continues to keep voters from asking her tough questions.
In Iowa, Clinton was heavily criticized by the media for significantly reducing the number of questions she was taking from both the press and from voters during the runup to the caucuses. So, after her newly tweaked stump speech Clinton opened up the floor to questions.
"What is it that you want to hear from the three leaders in this campaign?" Clinton asked. Immediately the crowd threw questions at Clinton ranging from how she would end the war in Iraq to a question on her electability.
Despite reshuffling her stump speech, Clinton, who was joined by her husband Bill and daughter Chelsea, continued to drive home the point - and her juxtaposition to Iowa winner Barack Obama - that experience is what brings change and that she has been "tested" and "vetted."
Clinton is expected to have a light schedule leading up to tomorrow night's Democratic debate.
