Clinton declares herself candidate for young voters
WASHINGTON - It wasn't long ago that Hillary Rodham Clinton's campaign scoffed at the notion that young voters would deliver an election. How quickly thing can change.

Just seconds into her speech Friday morning, Clinton was declaring herself the candidate for America's youth — stealing a page from the new Democratic presidential front-runner, Barack Obama. The night before, the under-30 crowd came out in larger numbers than ever in Iowa caucuses normally dominated by the AARP-card set, delivering victory for the Illinois senator who promised to bring change to Washington.

That's why after her third-place finish in Iowa, Clinton got off her plane in New Hampshire and declared: "This is especially about all of the young people in New Hampshire who need a president who won't just call for change, or a president who won't just demand change, but a president who will produce change, just like I've been doing for 35 years."

"I'm running for president to reclaim the future — the future for all of us, of all ages, but particularly for young Americans," she said a few seconds later.

lolz at claiming 35 years of "experience"

why doesn't she just say I'M OLDER!

guys, think of the great political skills from hillary we could look forward to in a general election

cant remember if i got that from the onion or not

More candid stuff to come from Underdog Rodham! Maybe "Lobbyists are real Americans too" needs another workout.

i'm older and know better! heed my experience, you goddamn kids!

where did this hillarys a stone cold operator thing come from - what a train wreck god

clinton repeatedly jumping on obama bandwagon lolz. Yesterday it was all her nonsense about change, today it's the youth vote, tomorrow it'll be her street work in chicago.

and how she's black

She's a Smooth Operator except for healthcare taskforces and prez campaigns.

and how she's black

I picture her working hard to get an endorsement from Lil Mama

i am an octoroon!

btw look who pops up if you google hillary right now

If the Obama campaign can point out that in the Dem chorus, he's doing all the calling and Hillary's doing all the responding -- it may be enough to portray her as a calculating opportunist

also, WTF is this about Hillary's claim of 'innocence'? what the fuck does she mean?

it means she's a virgin

btw love hillary's new babe in the woods meme
xpost dammit

(sorry that is not very nice--it probably means she thinks she hasn't been in washington to be corrupted???)

been in washington long enough

she did not have vince foster killed

where does chelseas come from?

Anglo-Saxon Cealc-h3ð = "chalk wharf"

i have a hard time reconciling 'experience' with 'innocence,' honestly.

chelsea clinton is actually a chalk golem? awesome.

"I did very well with people over 45, and I didn't do as well with people under 30. I take responsibility for that," she said. "I'm going to talk over the next five days as much as I can about creating opportunities for young people."

Is it possible to sound more calculated and vague at the same time?

My fave hated lefty blogger:

I suppose the one good thing about Iowa is that Hillary finished third. Not that this will stop her. Quite the opposite. The Clintons are serious pit bulls, and finishing just behind John Edwards of all people will only intensify her power quest. Recall that husband Bill finished fourth in '92 with a whopping three percent. Didn't stop Bubba from ripping out throats to the White House.

For now, we must endure the liberal revivalist clamor, since the faithful truly believe that This Is Their Time. No point in talking to them. Just smile, move slowly, and always keep an exit in clear sight.

Your fave rightie blogger?

What makes the "innocence" and "experience" pics funny is that Obama's campaign manager(?)'s name?

David Axelrod!

Oh the lol of it.

more lolz with Mitt

HRC's New Hampshire Comeback Plan

Atlantic blogger Matthew Yglesias thought this was a pretty good plan, except for the "Who would be better v. John McCain in a GE?" plank. Yglesias is right: I think the answer is pretty clearly Obama.

I don't think "playing the gender card" will work well - at the risk of sounding totally sexist, women are more likely to vote for a man they'd like to sleep with than a woman who reminds them of their mother.

but then I have a tendency to enjoy considering national elections in terms of "who is the most sexually dynamic candidate"

I missed this great line from Obama last night, commenting on his new status as frontrunner:

Referring to his new status as the Democratic front-runner, he said: "This feels good. It's just like I imagined it when I was talking to my Kindergarten teacher."

(Gently jabbing at HRC for claiming Obama plotted to be President since Kindergarden).

With Huckabee showing the attack ad that he didn't want to show, it's fun seeing the passive-aggressive guys rise to the top.

In other news, Maverick Candidate and 'Stand Up Guy' John McCain takes money from Swift Boaters

dude is broke, no surprise there. hoping folks have short memories

Watch Carl Bernstein call Clinton 'wounded' »
