Hillary Rodham Clinton made a sun-splashed appearance in Northern Virginia on Friday before a crowd of supporters convinced that her presidential campaign was suddenly on the upswing after a long and dreary summer.

One day after the former first lady, senator and secretary of state emerged unscathed from a marathon congressional hearing on Benghazi, she rallied thousands of fans outside Alexandria City Hall.



“Your fights are my fights and I won’t quit until all Americans have a chance to get ahead and stay ahead,” she said to cheers.

Clinton opened by remarking how nice it was to be “out in the sunshine,” a change from the day before, spent being grilled by Republicans...............

The event in Alexandria was billed as a “grass-roots organizing meeting” with Clinton and Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe (D), a longtime personal friend and fundraiser who helped lead her failed 2008 presidential bid.

McAuliffe helped whip up the crowd, which broke into chants of “Hill-a-ry! Hill-a-ry!” during his spirited introduction..................

2. I watched the entire hearing from start to finish from the comfort of my living room...

....and about 11:30 went to bed, pretty exhausted just from WATCHING!

When I got up at about 8:30 I was shocked to see that she was about to appear at the Women's Forum in a few minutes! Damn, she's amazing.

8. I know what you mean. When I first started

reading about it--I thought I had just missed it and it was last week--the I realized it was today (Friday)--and turned on the tube and O'M was just fishing up (the Women's Leadership Forum) and Hillary was next. Unbelievable.

5. When she becomes President

Citi bank, JP Morgan, Goldman Saks and all defense contractors will rejoice. She is the corporate approved candidate. The boys at Haliburton gotta be salivating. Of course I'll vote one more time for the least of the bad choices I'm presented with but only because over the next eight years as many as four current supreme court judges may retire.
