I'll be with Hillary tomorrow. Any questions for her?

[NewHampster]

At the Primary filing event.

Come on let 'em fly. I'm sure I won't ask but I'd like to know what you want to know anyway.

This by the way is what makes New Hampshire great. We are so friggin tiny, one of your counties in size, that we get to have real conversations and ask real questions.

I was thinking of asking a tough one. How does Bill plan to redecorate the White House during his stay as First Laddie?

[antigop]

1. Ask her what she has against keeping US tech workers employed

Hillary pushes for more h1-b visas and outsourcing

[Debi]

2. Have a good time NewHampster

No questions for Clinton. I bet you're excited to get to spend time w/your candidate :hi:

[NewHampster]

3. I will thank you

[rolleitreks]

4. Ask her if she has any principles at all. They're not apparent to most of us. n/t

[ronnykmarshall]

46. I'm so glad you elected yourself as spokes person for "most of us".

:eyes:

[Nite Owl]

5. Ask her about health care

Is it a privilege or a right for Americans to have health care?

Have a great time and take some pics!

[Sparkly]

6. I was going to say health care, too, but a different question.

I'd love to know WHY she believes her plan is better than Kucinich's. WHY keep the insurance companies in the equation?

[NewHampster]

8. I'll post pics tomorrow night

thanks

[BootinUp]

7. Ask her not to go too hard on the primary competition

its demoralizing to the netroots.

:hi:

[Joe the Revelator]

9. Ask he when she plans on dropping out

nt

[NewHampster]

11. You get the prize

[ronnykmarshall]

47. I'll second that

[calteacherguy]

10. Ask her if she is for or against driver's licenses for illegal immigrants.

Maybe she's finally figured out how to answer the question.

[NewHampster]

14. I just got this in email from a friend

Governor Gregoire got asked the same question Hillary did, and she was shocked. They had this program in Washington state for years, it works great, insurance rates came down, the dmv database is more accurate, and police have a better pool of information to compare against. She's shocked it's an issue.

And yes. Hillary has come out in support of Spitzer.

[saracat]

16. What did she do get the results from a focus group?

[saracat]

17. Why not ask her why she still employs Mark Penn?

[calteacherguy]

32. But does she support driver's licenses for illegal immigrants?

Obama was quite straightforward; Hillary danced.

[dugggy]

33. No wonder our state of WA is infested with so many illegals n/t

[LeFleur1]

43. Why Would This Cause Infestation?

It seems to me it would be just the opposite. We know who they are and we know where they are.

[dugggy]

55. Because they get privileges as holders of licenses?

Such as air travel, opening bank accounts, writing checks,
etc etc.

[splat]

12. I have a serious question

Please ask her whether what she says to get elected is an accurate reflection of what she really wants to achieve if she wins.

Thanks.

[NewHampster]

13. What she plans is on her website

what she says is quite often designed to not give the freepers any sound bites.

Read the site policies. Listen to her speeches. See her if you can. People in NH seem to always come away surprised by the real Hillary that they like very much.

[splat]

23. Don't want to be fooled again

I'm sure that what she says on her website is also designed to not give the freepers any sound bites.

But it doesn't give us any clues, either.

[Captain Hilts]

25. That's a good question, though she can't answer it. FDR ran in '32 in favor of a balanced budget!!!

No kidding!

There's a BigDifference between running and ruling. I think that HRC is already running for the Gen. Election.

Interesting!

[slick8790]

15. Ask her to clarify why she doesn't want to release the records from the archives.

[NewHampster]

18. Sure thing

Just after I ask her how Bill plans to redecorate the WH.

[Catchawave]

20. Seriously....she needs to release her papers

I'm not sure if she's explained this clear enough "why not".

:shrug:

[papau]

22. Why does the GOP and media want to see her love notes? - nothing she shows will be good enough

to stop the themes of the GOP and the media and some of her primary opponents about "just a wife" - knows little - overstates her ability - etc.

She is better off telling Bill to change nothing - 2012 is plenty earlier for the media to get there hands on anything that is there.

The LA Times should be told to go pound sand.

[Catchawave]

29. Uh....she keeps referring to "her record" in the 90's as First Lady...

healthcare, education....those papers are sealed?

I have her bio's, don't need to see no more love notes....geesh.

[BootinUp]

27. Please read this...

After spending time on the phone today with a source very familiar with archive procedures, the truth of the matter is quite different. The letter Russert held up was from 1994. It's also standard operating procedures for all presidents. Once documents start being produced by a president, something has to be decided about what to do with them in case something happens to the president. I was told it was standard for presidents to choose the 12 year maximum to hold the documents, which are put in categories like national security, senior administration, secret, etc. The highest level documents often stay secret, and with regards to Bill Clinton specifically, are then run by Bruce Lindsay to decide whether to make them public. What Russert didn't bother to add at the time of his document waving drama, was that right after Bill Clinton left the presidency he asked that his documents be released immediately. But after George W. Bush came into office, he decided that presidential papers would be kept secret indefinitely, something Bill Clinton openly fought against, including opposing Bush on the 12 year secrecy procedure, but especially on the new indefinite stand. So back and forth the conversation went, with Bush pushing back on Bill Clinton.

Russert played a card that was not only disingenuous and meant to bring in Bill Clinton into a debate where Hillary Clinton is running for president, but did so using innuendos and outright falsehoods, according to any objective player. Jim Warren of the Chicago Tribune pointed out on MSNBC today (video up soon) that there was nothing whatsoever unusual about the Clinton archives issue. Warren then went on to say that when you speak of Rudy Giuliani, the same cannot be said. Warren's paper will have a big piece on the issue this Sunday. Wonder if Russert will be interested? Doubtful. By holding the 1994 document up, Russert acted like this was really a new event. It was a charade of monumental proportions.

38. *****crickets*****

[Skip Intro]

42. PLEASE - make this its own thread

[Cass]

44. This deserves its own thread.

The entire piece is excellent. Thanks for posting it, Jim.

[oasis]

51. Post #27. Kicked and recommended.

[Captain Hilts]

19. What do pharmaceutical firms like about her? Good one about Bill! Enjoy! nt

[NewHampster]

21. Thanks Mookie

[Captain Hilts]

24. I've been told ...

that unlike her television impression, she can really win over a room.

I'm looking forward to hearing your impressions.

Enjoy!

[NewHampster]

28. Oh. I'm impressed

I've heard her twice and met her once already. I'm a confirmed fan so my opinion isn't exactly unbiased.

[ronnykmarshall]

49. She really does.

I was very impressed when I saw her.

[papau]

26. Does she favor a tax cut for the middle class and poor via a tax rate cut in the payroll tax paid by

removing the wage cap? No wage cap, with the rich getting big benefits (so that the program is not changed to welfare) via benefit calculation credit for every dollar of wages that they have paid a payroll tax on, would fund a 1.5% cut in the employee portion of the tax (we'd leave the employer part of the tax unchanged).

Would not being for such a tax cut be a political winner?

[NewHampster]

30. I may ask

[papau]

31. Thanks :-)

:-)

[IndianaGreen]

34. Hillary, if you become President, will you pardon Bush & Cheney, and if so, why?

They may escape impeachment, thanks to Nancy Pelosi, but they shouldn't escape justice!

[JackORoses]

35. Ask her how much she fears Al Gore.

He is, after all, going to snatch the prize which she has sold her soul for.

[ronnykmarshall]

48. Oh how orginal!

Oh my sides! Oh the hummor! Oh STOP! Forget the writers strike! Sign this one up!

[JackORoses]

54. it's not very original, actually

have you not noticed that most here and nationwide actually prefer Al to Hill?

You cannot deny that Hill is quite concerned with the single greatest threat to her ascension...
a Real Man of the People.

[zulchzulu]

36. Have a good time

Try to get a good picture of you and her. Maybe get an autograph if you can...

[NewHampster]

41. Already have the pic but I'll try for more, thanks

[fedupfisherman]

37. Are puppies cute? n/t

[rucky]

39. As President you have to carefully examine all facets of cuteness...

before you rush to judgement on the puppy issue.

[FredScuttle]

40. Senator Clinton, will you be inviting any ex-gay gospel singers to MC your fundraisers?

We have to be fair, after all.

[ronnykmarshall]

45. Have a great time!

Tell her to come back to West Hollywood anytime she wants!

[Capn Sunshine]

50. Is she ready to disavow the support of LIEBERMAN, or is she truly pro-war?

Lieberman just endorsed her. He's NOT a Democrat, and so little respect forthe party that he ran as an independent against the winner of the primary.

He backs Bush's war strategy completely and is driving the cheerleader bus for War with Iran.

Is Hillary pro war? Unless she disavows this guy she is.

[DangerDave921]

52. Sure

When did she first learn about Monica?

[hedgehog]

53. Ask who she would appoint to the Supreme Court.

Ask if she would tolerate waterboarding.
