Hillary Highlights

Senator Hillary Clinton has a good shot at being President in 2009 and today she was endorsed by New York State Governor Elliot Spitzer on the steps of the New York state Capital. Under beautiful blue skies Hillary delivered a blistering attack on the Bush administration's handling of the environment, Iraq, healthcare and the economy. "We have seen a culture of corruption and cronyism for the last six years," she said to the raucous applause of about 4000 people. I played producer/grip girl for political junkie Susan Arbetter's new local PBS show New York Now. Next to me, atop the media scaffolding, stood all my old cohorts from my days with CBS news, still grumbling and miserable. It was nice having my hands free to clap during the speeches from Lt. Gov. David Paterson, state Attorney General Andrew Cuomo and Senator Chuck Schumer. On the opposite side of the Capital a huge group of peace advocates held up signs and banners wanting the troops home and an end to the war. Senator Hillary promised that should Bush fail to end the war by the time she's elected, she will. That helped secure my vote.
