Hillary Stokes '08 Fire With Red-Hot Speech
Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton bowled over the Democratic faithful in the key 2008 presidential swing state of Minnesota with a fiery weekend stump speech that had fans hailing her as the "great hope" to take back the White House.The Great Donk Hope. Gee, that sounds sooo familiar... "She speaks her mind and she's a leader," swooned Debra Manninen. "She's our great hope." Swooning is almost a lost art. I'm glad Deb is keeping it Party faithful here devoured Clinton's brand-new, red-meat material in her first major political speech Saturday night since the November 2004 election, which aides said she wrote herself. Oooh, red meat! Call PETA! Both parties see Minnesota as one of the swing states that will pick the next president. Underscoring its importance, President Bush's political mastermind Karl Rove also rolled through the Twin Cities to charge up the GOP base. Hopeful Swoons vs E-vil Cunning. Clinton didn't say she was running for president. She didn't have to. Sen. Mark Dayton (D-Minn.) said it for her when he made an "unauthorized" introduction of the "next great president of the United States of America." Woohoo! Everybody stand up and cheer! W00t! After a standing ovation by 2,000 Dems who paid $100-a-head to see her speak, Clinton slammed Bush and the Republican-controlled Congress — and never contradicted her introduction. Their Minimum Daily Dose of BDS. $100 each. Heh. Clinton's Republican shredding — calling GOP lawmakers "extras in the movie 'I, Robot' " and President Bush's push for an ownership society a "you're-on-your-own society" — was just what the party here wanted. Whoa, that's some deep shit there, folks. Looks like we're in for some fireworks, heh. Clinton's speech contrasted with Rove's low-key talk at a private fundraiser Friday night for Republican Gov. Tim Pawlenty — a budget hawk and long-shot 2008 presidential possibility. Walk and talk softly, and carry a very big stick. "As dumb as they are, they [the Democrats] kind of catch on quick," Rove said in his lone partisan shot, according to GOP donor Tim Eichacker, who paid $250 to be there. *snicker* Put that on your motivation bulletin board, Dhimmis.
