 Clinton says she remains optimistic.
Clinton says she remains optimistic.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (CNN) — After a debate performance that did little to alter the dynamic of the Democratic primary race, Hillary Clinton on Wednesday presented a stay-the-course optimism about her campaign as it heads into the final stretch before crucial primaries in Ohio and Texas.

Hillary Clinton told a gaggle of reporters on board her airplane during a flight from Cleveland to Columbus that at this late stage of the primary race, "people are really rallying to my candidacy."

Clinton said she was "really pleased" with her debate performance in Cleveland, arguing that she was able to  present "some real contrasts" against Barack Obama, especially on the issues of health care and the economy.

"What I feel is happening is that people are turning towards the big questions that we should have to answer in this campaign," she said. "Give me the best Commander in Chief. Who do you want in the White House answering the phone at three a.m.? Who is the best steward of the economy?"

Clinton said that along with getting a second look from voters, her campaign continues to raise $1 million a day over the internet, a factoid she has been touting since Super Tuesday.

Despite that cheery forecast, her campaign sent out a fundraising e-mail Wednesday from Bill Clinton that accused Obama of trying to drown out his primary opponent with a barrage of TV ads.

"So let's show the Obama campaign that they can't win this race just by throwing more money at it," the email said, seeking to raise $1.9 million in the next 24 hours.

Clinton is hosting an "Economic Solutions Summit" in Zanesville on Wednesday, followed by two rallies in the towns of St. Clairsville and Belpre. She heads to Texas late Thursday for the remainder of the week, hitting the major media markets of Houston, San Antonio and Dallas/Fort Worth.

Go! Hillary! Go! You can do it!!   February 27th, 2008 8:12 pm ET

Just shut Andrea Mitchell up! Hillary still leads in Super Delegates. Mitchell doesn't bother to mention that as she talks about Hillary losing Lewis to Obama. You'd think Hillary had lost the election because of one superdelegate. And as far as raising money, Hillary has kept up with Obama with her online fund raising. The media has put so much spin on Obama's "momentum" that they fail to recognize that Hillary is still leading in both Texas and Ohio. Hillary's supporters are with her to the end when she becomes the next president of the United States. She is the one with the experience and leadership to tackle the pressing problems of our time. I gave my money online today so she can run all those TV ads too, like Obama. Have you donated yet? And finally, she was the one who appeared presidential in the last debate and was by far the better debater. ( Ignore the media. They are the ones who are supposed to be unbiased and aren't.) Hillary made an important point when she said Obama hadn't held any oversight hearings in the past year as chair of the subcommittee that oversees NATO. If he didn't have time for it, he should have given it up. It is too important an area for national security to let slide.

" Hillary" I did admire your courage by ignoring Michelle Obama's petite remarks that if you cannot control you house ! houw can you control the white house. You did behaved like a true leader.This makes me equqte you to all the famous female leaders like Indiara Gandi of India and Margaret Thatcher of Great Britain. Hilliary you are moses that will carry America to the promised land. Keep doing what you know how to do best. We all know that it is Hillary against the press. I am very proud of you when you vehemently pointed about the the press always pose the first questions to you. You know what, You responses are alway on target. If i should rename you, I will call you the " IRON LADY OF AMERICA." HILLARY YOU'VE BEEN A WINNER AND YOU WILL EVER REMAIN TO BE A LEADER. LOOKING FOREWARD TO YOUR INNOGURATION AS THE NEXT PRESIDENT OF THE WORLD SUPERSTATE AMERICA, GO HILLARY! GO.

Do NOT underestimate the women of this country — we are getting very tired of the very blatant media bias and sexism and will NOT forget.
Go HIllary!!!

Ashley   February 27th, 2008 7:36 pm ET

In the beginning I was supporting Barak but after watching a couple of debates and hearing him speak I have realized for a while that Barak is just a guy that can talk "good". I am all for supporting my African American men, however, it is going to take more than being black for me to support Barak. Hillary focuses on the issues at hand and I will admit she goes get a little feisty but still it is obvious she is more informed and knowledgable about the issues that are brought out. I am so sick of hearing Barak give these "inspirational" speeches. I feel like I am at church (seriously). I think his message is wonderful, really, but I think that people need to realize that he is not talking about key issues the way that his opponents are.

I would rather vote for a Republican before I vote for Barack. We don't need another inexperienced person in office.

Go Hillary!!

Oh by the way, I live in TX and I will be voting TWICE!

maggie   February 27th, 2008 7:33 pm ET

I'm a life long republician, but I'm voting for Hillary Clinton. Obama is a con artist that is really dangerous for this country.

ldb   February 27th, 2008 7:32 pm ET

I find it remarkable that there are over a score of comments favoring Senator Clinton and not one favoring Senator Obama. Looks to me like the Clinton campaign is gaming this email string, which should make the reasonable reader see through the accolades for what they really are – phony.

mal   February 27th, 2008 7:32 pm ET

I think it is so ironic that the Clinton campaign would claim she is ready to lead and at the same time turn around and say why are you asking me the first questions?

If you are ready to lead on day one and to answer the phone at 3 am then stop whinning about who gets to go first for if you were to become president only you will be asked the questions not only the first but also the last.

Will Hillary please stand up! The American people isnt sure who will answer the phone at 3am.

aware   February 27th, 2008 7:32 pm ET

An "Economic Solutions Summit" is a great idea! "Its the economy stupid" someone once said! :)

I think more people would support Hillary, if they knew Obama supports nuclear power and has different stances on gun control depending on where he is speaking.

Bring out the Hillary voters in Texas, Ohio, Vermont and Rhode Island this week and then on to the others.

lloyd   February 27th, 2008 7:27 pm ET

i think that hillary clinton will win over obama in ohio and texas and obama will destroy america because the and hillary will win the nomination over obama

Charlotte   February 27th, 2008 7:26 pm ET

I 'm behind you all the way. You won the debate I don't care what the media says. Obama is nothing without a telepromter or someone elses words. Word for word not just similar to someone elses.

Ann in Iowa   February 27th, 2008 7:26 pm ET

I happen to be one of the many who do firmly believe that foreign policy issues will be front and center for the next President and I would so much prefer Hillary at the helm….

the other candidate is so poorly prepared on the international scene…

I want Hillary to stand firm… strong… tough… like she is.

Barney, Long Island   February 27th, 2008 7:26 pm ET

I served in the military for a number of years and also did tours of duty in Vietnam and the Persian Gulf wars. I am and always will be proud of my service to my country. I feel that our liberal youth today which Obama has a large following, are totally misguided and lack the duty to our country regardless of the politics behind the war in Iraq. Nobody wants war, but unfortunately it is necessary for the fight for freedom. American history has proved this time and time again. I fully support our military for their courage. They don't question the politics to fight for our country, they just do their duty and serve with honor in order to provide the freedom we Americans enjoy. The men and women of our volunteer military are placing their lives in danger to provide the safety and freedom of our country and it's allies. They deserve all the support from each and every American regardless of what our political views are. It disturbs me to no end knowing so much of our liberal youth today are so selfish of their own needs and don't have the guts and patriotism to take up arms and fight for our country. Instead they listen to cowardly leaders while enjoying the freedom that our brave military provide for them. Obama has established a following of this group of people. Our next President needs to be a leader of strength and take on all enemies with the attitude of VICTORY, NOT RETREAT!!

Hillary and Obama choose retreat without victory. They fail to realize that retreat will weaken our nation and strenghten the Terrorists and Islamic extremists, who are determined to kill Americans. The liberal approach to war will only compromise our efforts in the global war against Terrorism and will put our homeland in greater risk of another devastating attack on our homeland.

Ed   February 27th, 2008 7:24 pm ET

I made a promise that everytime Hillary says something dumb, I would make a campaign contribution to Obama. Her delusional statement about voters supposedly rallying to her candidacy qualifies. Hillary is like the captain of a once mighty ship that is now sinking in the middle of a violent storm: everyone has jumped overboard, the remainder of the crew are in rubber rafts, fiercely rowing away from the ship, and indeed only half of the ship is still visible above the crashing waves. But Hillary, standing on deck, with her wealth of experience to draw on, boldly declares: "I see land!"

Obama '08

Dave   February 27th, 2008 7:24 pm ET

What I wonder about is how she can raise more money than Obama, presumptively budget for a big super Tuesday win, and still say she can get the nation out of debt. Without planning for the future will be implementing a quick fix, get out of debt fast, economy plan, making her presidency look good, while setting us up for another recession? Will she be begging for more taxes the same way she is begging for more donations towards the end?

Joyce, NY   February 27th, 2008 7:23 pm ET

Ohio, Texas, RI, Vermont – don't let Republicans pretend to vote in your state. They're trying to dictate the dems nominee. Stand for what is right. Guard our right to nominate the rightful Presidential candidate – Hilary Clinton!

phillip   February 27th, 2008 7:23 pm ET

Hillary please for the sake of the party bow out gracefully and dont pull a huckabee. obama has won 11 states in a row he has ate into your core voters your grip on the latino vote is very loose at best, the super delegates are starting to jump onborad with obama as well. the last debate hillary was a lopsided win for obama you egged the health-care issue on and on and on but failed to point out anything new that you have not said in the past debates and the capper the why do i always get the question first give me a break hilary. i was hoping for a obama clinton ticket which is almost unbeatable in my eyes but i think you blew that one as well. if and when edwards backs obama then i think he will likely be the vp so you had your chance but you blew it. nasty politics dont work with obama he has the potential to be the JFK,MLK,FDR, of this generation his movement is too great even for a clinton!!!!

wow, did the clinton's media bashing finally get to cnn that all their blogs are now filled with only comments from the clintons' supporters? hope u post this.

Oh please. For every $1 someone donates to Hillary's campaign…another 3 people donate $2 to Barack's campaign.

If she loses EITHER Texas or Ohio, she will need to seriously reconsider continuing in this race.

Mich   February 27th, 2008 7:18 pm ET

Main stream media has very openly expressed its opinion, and expects public to follow the most liberal candidate.
Obama is liberal, articulate, a good fundraiser, has generated millions. Big Bonus is coming for some media executives.
Sometimes, it appears, don't have the guts to accept openly, but its like saying "America is not ready for a woman President".

Neal   February 27th, 2008 7:18 pm ET

I mean really "gaggle," hire a few English majors for editing and conceptual stuff, its what we're trained to do.

You are the hope of many many many people.

ruby   February 27th, 2008 7:17 pm ET

Hillary was brilliant during last night's debate. Never give up, never surrender. I will continue to support and contribute to Hillary for President.

Richard, St. Paul, MN   February 27th, 2008 7:16 pm ET

I'd like to know specifically who is "rallying to my candidacy" for Hillary. Is it the left handed gnomes? Perhaps it's the grey aliens? Possibly it's the tree sloths? No, wait… it must be the voices in her head. It seems that Obama-mania is sweeping the country and her nasty, shrew-ish behavior during last nights' debate surely cemented her demise.

tickered   February 27th, 2008 7:15 pm ET

Go Hillary, you're a fighter!
Fighting will unite our great nation.
The more we fight and pin it as 'us' and 'them' the more we are united to work together. Everyone knows that the only way we ever get along and get things accomplished is when we fight with one another.

Mary   February 27th, 2008 7:15 pm ET

Wyoming are you out there? My grandmother fought for women to vote in Wyoming. The first state to give women the vote. Let Wyoming help make Hillary the first woman president. Women still make about 78 cents vs. a dollar for men. It is time for change all right!

matt carlisle   February 27th, 2008 7:15 pm ET

Jeanine G   February 27th, 2008 7:08 pm ET

the "real contrast" I saw was that Hillary was boring me to tears…after awhile her voice becomes an indistinct buzzing sound in the back of my head and I find myself flipping through magazines. When Obama speaks I look up, the sound clears, and I become focused again.

Hillary….if you can't find a way to PROJECT your message, you won't be able to DIRECT your plans.

R   February 27th, 2008 7:04 pm ET

why make it seems like it was an ugly attack? Bill was explaining that ads matters and said:
"The ads we put on the air matter. The number of phone calls we make matters. The rides we give to the polls matter. And most important of all, what you do right now matters.

We have the best candidate with the best ideas — and she's a fighter. She's knows that you are standing with her every step of the way.

So let's show the Obama campaign that they can't win this race just by throwing more money at it.

Let's match that $1.9 million ad buy of his and make sure this is a race of ideas, because that's a race that we know Hillary will win."

David, Santa Maria, CA   February 27th, 2008 7:03 pm ET

Clinton is living in a dream world. She is so eager and deparate for power she will refuse to throw in the towel. I dont know who these people are who are "rallying" to her. Everyone I know thinks she is a joke and cant wait to say good riddance to the Bush/Clinton families.

I too, have donated online. I believe that Hillary is the only person to take on McCain and win. Obama is already sounding like a Republican-he said he would bomb Pakistan and return to Iraq. Some diplomacy! Now he's in a shouting match with McCain, which will only help our girl!
Stay strong, Hill. We love you.
By the way, if the idiotic DNC had counted MI and FL, she'd be ahead.
Come on, Ohioans and Texans!

Corinna Seelmann   February 27th, 2008 7:00 pm ET

Hillary, get real. The last elections proofed that the voters are NOT rallying behind you. Some States you lost with big margins. Voters are seeking a chance in Washington, and you ain't going to be one.

Okay CNN so you guys feel bad about the so called media slant and now you are only posting comments from Hillary supporters. Her fiscal responsibilty sucks…look at how she has run her campaign into the ground. I guess all of you donating to her campaign just gave them more money to buy DONUTS with. Your hard earned money well spent. OBAMA 08 . YES WE CAN! AND WE WILL!

It is clear Hillary has no credit with the media. Always the first question, obama has all the time in the world to think of something else. Great going there! No one noticed????

Hillary has a great team and even after texas, win or lose, it will not be over!!!

I guess 'rallying' for her is the same as 'abandoning'

Ben   February 27th, 2008 6:57 pm ET

You guys do realize Hillary has NO shot at winning the general election, right? A recent Zogby poll has he trailing McCain 38-50%. Obama leads McCain by 7% in the same poll. Who do you think is the stronger candidate?

ebp   February 27th, 2008 6:55 pm ET

Why in the world would anyone donate to Hillary after she wrote a check for 5 million $$$ and won't make her tax returns public? She fudged on the answer last night…let's just see if she makes them public. She said she doesn't have time to get it together…an insult to the public 's intelligence. I'm sure she and Bill have an accountant!

Mark Feldman   February 27th, 2008 6:53 pm ET

CNN, why are you posting comments mostly in support of Hillary Clinton? What is there for you in case of her nomination. I have submitted numerous comments disclosing Clinton's questionable fundraising practices and all of them have been removed? Are we in USA or in North Korea?

Nathaniel   February 27th, 2008 6:45 pm ET

Clearly,

This board is part of a coodianted effort to revive Hillary's flagging campaign. I'm impartial, but it's so obvious. Did she really win the debate last night? Nope. Granted Russert was hard on her (partially because she has been throwing so many haymakers on the campaign trail), but she was repeatedly exposed during the debate (job loss in Buffalo, NAFTA, temperament). And, she is losing the delegate count, popular vote count (even counting FL and MI which she agreed wouldn't count), and state count. Besides the superdelegates, where is she winning?

Oh, I forgot. She's winning on this board. So sad.

vl-MI   February 27th, 2008 6:45 pm ET

To the doubters out there… make no mistake, Hillary WON Michigan! We had no ads, no appearances and no bickering but she still did it. Even though Obama and Edwards were not on the ballot, Kucinich, Dodd, and Gravel were. Even if Sen. Obama were to combine all the votes of the uncommitted, Kucinich, Dodd and Gravel, he'd still only have 45% of the vote. A straight up 55% went to Hillary Clinton.

Think about it….. you NEED Michigan and Florida to win ANY election!

Hillary's right! The media hasn't accurately taken the pulse of the American public since its call on the Britney-Nicole contest. Let the women run her campaign and go ahead keep asking her the hard questions. She's taken your body blows for quite some time now and she's still standing. With each debate she just wins more and more points. She's articulate, focused, intelligent and accomplished. Bring it, she can take it. The problem is, can Senator Obama. If he doesn't have Senator Clinton to agree with, then he's really just smoke and mirrors as far as I can tell.
Hang in there Hillary !!!!!!!!

Jenny, TX   February 27th, 2008 5:11 pm ET

We support senator Hillary Clinton all the way. America needs her right leadership in the next 4 years. Americans, let give us a chance to turn back the country, and give her a chance to serve us.

Goodheart   February 27th, 2008 4:56 pm ET

Mr. Obama's name was on the ballot in Florida, so was Hillary's. She won by 300,000 votes or so. Big margin regardless if anyone campaigned there or not. Florida is an important state. It's a huge electoral state like New York, New Jersey, California, Michigan (which Hillary also won with no delegates alloted), Texas, and Ohio. If she wins the latter two, then she has a claim to be the nominee. It's an electoral college and the big states matter. She can win them. Obama and McCain is a tight race in California while Hillary wins easily there. The same might be said about Florida.
I appreciate the enthusiasm about the charasmatic Mr. Obama, but when the Republicans and the special interest groups start attacking him and it becomes clear he is going to lose the general election, you're going to wish you stuck with Hillary.

MeluBarney   February 27th, 2008 4:38 pm ET

She is right. We are rallying to elect her the next President of the US. Most of Obaba's answers to the questions on the debate, "..I agree with Senator Clinton.." He can't even come up with his own answers.

Just sent her campaign $100 today. $100 more coming later this week.

GO HILLARY!

Go Hillary   February 27th, 2008 4:15 pm ET

Excellent performance last night.

V in Ca   February 27th, 2008 4:15 pm ET

Go, HIllary! More than half of the Democratic party have voted for you so far — nearly eleven million people!!! You are still way ahead in the votes of women and the poor, and the President of the Cherokee Nation endorsed you. I'm going to go with the poor, the women, and the disenfranchised.

HIllary '08!

CNN Shame on YOu U R unfair   February 27th, 2008 4:10 pm ET

Adam   February 27th, 2008 4:05 pm ET

Fight on Girl!

HILLARY 08!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Babu   February 27th, 2008 4:03 pm ET

I will always be a supporter of Hillary no matter what. If she does not get the nomination, I may not vote democratic depending on what she does and how Obama treats her.

ArtOfWar   February 27th, 2008 4:03 pm ET

So how does she know of such rallying? More smoke and mirrors.

Belle   February 27th, 2008 4:03 pm ET

The plus of having the husband Hillary Clinton does, would be at least Mr. Clinton knows how to manage a budget.

I miss the 90s for that reason….the ECONOMY!

YOU NEED TO KNOW   February 27th, 2008 4:02 pm ET

What do you expect Senator Clinton to say…..

I believe that for the sake of the Democratic Party…..Senator Obama should be declared the party's nominee and Senator Clinton should be asked to join the ticket as V.P.

Brad   February 27th, 2008 4:01 pm ET

God help us if Obama wins the election. Will be time to move to Canada!!!!!!!!!!!

Chris   February 27th, 2008 3:56 pm ET

Barak is not going to beat McCain, Hillary can.
You go Girl!

Oregon Voter   February 27th, 2008 3:51 pm ET

I think the media is purposefully underestimating Clinton in their articles so that they will have a more compelling story when Clinton "wins big" on Tuesday.

If they reported the facts, then people would realize that there's a really good chance that she wil take Texas, Ohio, and Rhode Island (3 out of 4) next week, and that will pretty much put her on the path to the nomination.

Anthony Cetta   February 27th, 2008 3:51 pm ET

Hillary,get tough with obama.no more buddy buddy.Don't sit next to him if their are any more debates.Keef fighting like your mother taught you when you were a little girl.

Bill Jay   February 27th, 2008 3:50 pm ET

Hillary we love you girl………………………………………………………………………

josie   February 27th, 2008 3:49 pm ET

Hillary dear, go go girl, no stopping till the end. You are the best
commander in chief for the United States of America. Keep on fighting for your country, i love you. God will be with you all the way to the convention, HE will prevail, believe in MIRACLE

Over his head   February 27th, 2008 3:47 pm ET

Obama- you are so over your head…

D.L.   February 27th, 2008 3:43 pm ET

Yes we are rallying!!!

We'll See!!!   February 27th, 2008 3:41 pm ET

I will STILL cast my vote for Hillary Clinton. NEVER GIVE UP>

T.A. O'Neil   February 27th, 2008 3:38 pm ET

Go Hillary, after your great show at the debate last night, they are trying to bring you down. You are the stronger one!!! If not Hillary then McCain in 2008.

Chris From California   February 27th, 2008 3:35 pm ET

I agree with Senator Clinton and I just contributed to her campaign this morning.

In my opinion, among the candidates, Hillary Clinton demonstrates the greatest competence, the greatest knowledge of the country as well as thre greatest world knowledge, and sound capabilities to get this country back on track in all of the ways that are needed – domestically and internationally. She will be the best President. We should do what's right for our country and I believe that is getting back our positive reputation in the world and having the sense of well being we had during the Clinton years in 1993 when we knew we had at least two people in the White House, Hillary and Bill Clinton, and their team that truly cared about the people of this country. Some of the best years of many of our lives were when the Clintons were in the White House. I want those days back.

Jack   February 27th, 2008 3:33 pm ET

I just donated money to Hillary as did 3 members of my family

onenibble   February 27th, 2008 3:32 pm ET

Hillary is the "ROLL UP YOUR SLEEVES AND GET IT DONE" candidate. Obama is the "DON'T SAY MY NAME" candidate.

Stephanie - Canada   February 27th, 2008 3:30 pm ET

I think people are starting to realize Hillary is the best candidate and we are about to see a surge behind her in Texas, Ohio and RI. I just hope it's not too late for the momentum to peak.

Helen   February 27th, 2008 3:27 pm ET

Dont' give up Hillary. You are the perfect person to take the job. The nation will cool down from Obama phenomenon sooner or later.

Nancy   February 27th, 2008 3:26 pm ET

Go Hillary!

Show these idiots!

TX4HILLARY   February 27th, 2008 3:25 pm ET

Does anyone bother to look at delegates any more?
This race is not over.
And Hillary is NO QUITTER!

Please, fellow Americans, start looking into the experience, and put aside the glamour for a second.

HILLARY 08!

Vig   February 27th, 2008 3:24 pm ET

Clinton has gotten screwed and skewed by the Hillary Hating, male-owned and controlled media conglomerates. It's not about Clinton – it's about a woman running the country – and they don't want it. Texas and Ohio – it's up to you to restore a fair and ethical election process. Put the brakes on Obama and let the process go to the convention floor. Don't let the media elect the President – let the people.

Nick in Las Vegas   February 27th, 2008 3:24 pm ET

Go Hillary! Go! I truely believe She will be the BEST President the United States has ever had! I hope that the majority of voters in the March 4 primary states feel the same way I do.

Di   February 27th, 2008 3:23 pm ET

Go Hillary…you are the true Democrat is this campaign!!!

Obama is about as phoney as they come…Obama would make a good snake oil salesman!!!!

Debra   February 27th, 2008 3:23 pm ET

I think Hillary did well in the debate, but then I see supporters jumping ship. Hillary supporters, dont give up! The fight is not over. I think Hillary is our only hope of having a good president. Barrack is too inexperienced. Hopefully Ohio and Texas will come through for her in a big way. It may be our only hope of actually having a Democratic President.

Goodbye Billary   February 27th, 2008 3:23 pm ET

Wow the spinning never ends …. amazing!

jeffrey   February 27th, 2008 3:21 pm ET

wow…..you almost did it cnn…….you almost posted an artical without critisising hillary for something…….and without metioning obama……but in the end …..you just couldnt help yourself?……ah well dont be to upset…..it will all be over soon…and youll be able to go back to real journalisim…….which reminds me …..how is britney doing these days?

jessica   February 27th, 2008 3:19 pm ET

I am sure voters are rallying towards her – She was awsome last night in the debate. Obama was stutterin way too much and was answering questions with the open line of " I agree with the majority of what Senator Clinton just said". Can't he think for himself? This is why I am pretty sure Mrs. Clinton was upset she was always being asked questions first. He needed to show he could answer for himself and not just be a replica of what said. GO HILLARY YOUR COMMANDING PERFORMACE SHOWED LAST NIGHT!!!

HILLARY FOR PRESIDENT!!!!

Obama see a doctor for your speech problem.

GO HILLARY
GO HILLARY
GO HILLARY

jess_meadow   February 27th, 2008 3:18 pm ET

Thanks Hillary for being there. I so much admire the strength you have demonstrated all through. I very sincerely hope and pray that the media introspects and be honest and just to you. I really do.

You have emerged stronger everytime you have been struck by adversity. From my end I wish you in right earnest and even go to the extent of begging media to be just 'just' with you.

Did I just beg? Well, what the heck… it is for a wonderful cause..

Hillary, wish you a wonderful Presidential Term..

jp/michigan   February 27th, 2008 3:17 pm ET

Hillary shown strength, intelligence and substance in the last debate, I am proud to say she is my candidate for the White House.

htp   February 27th, 2008 3:16 pm ET

I do believe in you, Hillary. You're the fighter for the invisibles.
Hillary 08!

Texas4Clinton   February 27th, 2008 3:13 pm ET

Keep fighting! Texas is your state..We want you..

No Really   February 27th, 2008 3:13 pm ET

You have to admire the sheer hypocrisy of the left.. It seems like the only moral guide these people have is hate. Knowledge is doomed when people cultivate ignorance like a virtue.

Clinton Strong   February 27th, 2008 3:12 pm ET

Keep going HIllary..This is far from over..

63 yr old white lady   February 27th, 2008 3:12 pm ET

McCain Please rest

Texas Clintonite   February 27th, 2008 3:10 pm ET

Clinton is rallying behind you my friend. So many Latin voters are turning out for you..We want you to win Texas..Ohio will deliver, as will RI..Don't give up Hillary..We are in this till the end..We know about loyalty..We are 100% behind you

Alice   February 27th, 2008 3:10 pm ET

I agree – Hillary's clearly outperformed Obama during the debate as she always does.
