It's Official. Hillary Files her Candidacy for President of the USA and the NH Primary


Hillary greeting supporters in the hallway leading to Secretary of State Bill Gavin's office where she paid the $1000 and filed for the primary.

When I shook her hand all I could say was "Give 'em Hell".



Looking into Gavin's office which was full of TV cameras and photographers waiting for Hillary.

3. That would be me
I wore my dress khaki slacks, Blue shirt, blue blazer and ...........Red tie with blue diamonds.

I had a great time and was perfectly dressed. Not too much not to sloppy.

4. oh man
I voted for the dress khaki slacks, the blue shirt, blue blazer and a BLUE tie. Does this mean I don't get a prize? (sniffle)

She's something else in person, isn't she? I had the pleasure of first getting to know her in 2000 during her first Senate race and she surprised me not only with her being super-smart, but also with how sincere and caring and interested in others she is. Not at all the calculating, heartless ogre people make her out to be.

I can't imagine the unshakable sense of self ANY candidate -- let alone one with the bulls-eye on his or her back -- would have to have to endure the very personal and cruel slings and arrows of a political campaign.

I'm glad you had a great time.

5. Your surprise is what we encounter in NH
"She's something else in person, isn't she? I had the pleasure of first getting to know her in 2000 during her first Senate race and she surprised me not only with her being super-smart, but also with how sincere and caring and interested in others she is. Not at all the calculating, heartless ogre people make her out to be."

It seems that everyone who sees her in person comes away with the same thoughts. We get it all the time when we canvass or talk with people at events.

Typical is. "She seems really nice and truly concerned, but I expected her to be mean".

15 years of repug brain washing that even gets through to democrats is the answer. She is wonderful and will make an awesome President.

9. You know during the last primary season
My little group had an unwritten rule.

Don't shit on "happy threads" about another candidate.

I think there are more than enough threads for you to bash Hillary or whoever you want to go at. Let supporters have a few threads to celebrate little things like this without it turning into a flamefest. We have more than enough of that and this sort of behavior will make it worse for everyone.

Just my opinion.

Edited on Fri Nov-02-07 03:35 PM by terrya
Seriously, what the fuck? NewHampster posted some nice pics of him meeting Hillary Clinton...which NewHampster was looking forward to...and you took a big dump on his thread.

Start your own thread if you want. But this is just some seriously rude shit.

But, back to the important part on this thread: Thanks a bunch Hampster for filling us in. You are one lucky bugger, getting to shake her hand.

14. I met her once at NYC Pride
This was when she was first running for Senator. I was surprised by how short she was. :D

This is when the group I was in called the Marching Xenas was still around. She complimented us on our costumes and said she loved Xena.

I have to admit that softened me a little toward her. :P

30. Hillary looks GREAT!
Thanks Hampster for posting those great pics! I picked the "blue" tie with the accompanied out fit as well!

The "red" diamond tie sound pretty sharp, though!

Glad I missed the vitriolic interloper..

Hey, jgraz, I'm sending your site to some bird lovers I know that just lost their twin parakeets.

We could become buds after all! Thanks for posting! :hi:

Little bit huh? I'm IMMENSELY charming, even if I do say so myself :)

I love birds, I've got Finches as well, I've had Finches ever since I was a small child....the Lovebirds are pretty fab, real characters as well!

Aw heck....those Lovebirds you have for adoption are just so adorable....I'm going to try breeding my Finches, so I might have to put them up for adoption if I'm successful....or knowing what a big softy I am, I probably won't be able to part with them :)

39. It was good and she gave a speech
Excellent speech too but after a strong bourbon I'm having a hard time memberin it.

I do remember the main theme and misquote her here.

We can be proud of all our candidates and she will support whoever gets the nom if it is not her. She will not attach them no matter how much they attack her because we should only be attacking the Republicans and not each other.

Maybe you could DEMAND to know from Obama what's it's like to hang around with a sack of shit like Donnie "God saved me from homosexuality" McClukin.

Maybe you should reserve your outrage for someone who DESERVES it - Barack Obama.
