Eleven hours and she is still smiling.
Add your name here and show your support >>>>>
Eleven hours. Almost twice as long as her marathon confirmation hearing and Hillary remained calm, patient, and respectful throughout. A few times, talking about those we lost, she came close to tears. The GOP committee members spent a good deal of time reinventing answers that they did not like. I think Hillary Clinton showed everybody her strength, control, and consistency. So proud of her! Yes, I’m with her!
A few reads>>>>>
11 hours. I guess it took them that long to figure out what she is made of.
We already knew that. We know she is a champion and we know her stamina is legendary and we know she knows what she is talking about and that she has the info instantly and clearly.
I thnk that was an 11 hour commercial for her campaign. That committee might give her a bump in the polls! Karma.
The Republicans were shown to be the slugs they are and she walked out of there with a glorious smile and admiration from all sane people.
I’m With HER —————->

When I got home from work it was 9 and1/2 hours and counting. I thought that question, Were you alone all night? was really the pits. How could she not laugh!
Never more proud of Hillary. She was yelled at, badgered, interrupted, and had words put in her mouth for 11 hours. Yet she never lost her cool or her train of thought. She did lose her voice briefly near the end, but that just proves what an endurance contest this was. And, wow, did she endure! Awesome!

Last night the media had sore throats from talking about it for 11 hours so on one of the MSNBC shows they passed around lozenges and had full sympathy with her coughing fit.
TODAY she is going to rock Virginia with Terry McAuliffe at a rally!!!
Tonight she is going on Maddow for the post Biden – post Benghazi talk!!!
GO HILLARY.

After “were you alone all night” I think the next urgent and important question pertaining to Benghazi was going to be – were you wearing pajamas or a nightgown? Was there ever any bunny slippers or a cup of tea involved in your all night info session? What room were you in in your home, was it an office, your bedroom or the living room?
Those are the only remaining questions – too bad we will never know what kind of tea – if any – she sipped.
I love Elijah Cummings and have since day one, but last night, the Democrats – all 5 of them showed why we vote true blue!

I tried to phone bank my volunteers for help at 3 Hillary events here in the coming week, (one is our FL Dem convention at Disney), so I didn’t watch the whole time, and yet, it was like Still said in a recent post – Ground Hog Day.
An 11 hour political ad for why Hillary should be President. It was just like a nomination hearing for President! She had to pay her lawyers, a lot, as she said, but she did get all day media coverage nationwide in every single market – in every news cast, in every headline – on every blog. You can’t pay for that!
LOL.

I think Roby’s question about spending the night alone was designed to hit at the fact Bill wasn’t there or possibly to determine if Blumenthal was. They were the Sid Blumenthal Obsession Committee all day. I laughed out loud at the question too.

No, Roby’s next question was going to be why she wasn’t briefed in person. She wanted it to seem like – Hillary went home and ignored the whole thing while she left her staff behind at the office to work on it.
Hillary laughed because of the “were you alone all night” other thought that popped into most heads as well.
The whole – when did you visit the victims – was beyond ill making crap.

I don’t think there’s any doubt about their strategy. They were trying to drag this out as long as possible, hoping she would crack under oath. It was a true interrogation in every sense of the word.

It was a sea of Green for Hillary. I can’t wait to get my AFSCME Retire for Hillary shirt. Awesome union. We had volunteers from all over the country descend on the early states and sleep on couches in other members homes in the 2008 primary!
YAY AFSCME!
SEIU up next!

She got this one – and we will still fight for every vote because we want to win a mandate – and win in a LAND SLIDE!

AFSCME is under AFL-CIO so are some of her other endorsements so far.
The AFL-CIO is the parent of 56 affiliates. They very rarely vote as a solid block – this year they are not. To have their endorsement means all – the whole shebang at once. She is getting many under their banner – one at a time.
Gore ran as a sitting VP and unopposed – so they did but not normal for them to. That they considered it was an honor but not likely with Biden playing games and in but out – so they couldn’t.

This is the list of AFL-CIO affiliates – she has, or will soon have, most of the big ones. I read somewhere the firefighters will not endorse anyone now that their first choice Biden has dropped out. Some unions do not like to endorse in the primary and wait for the general.
