Hillary Clinton, right, and Saturday Night Live's Amy Poehler, clowned around during the opening skit.

(CNN) — Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton met her match while appearing on NBC's "Saturday Night Live" to deliver the show's trademark opening line and provide an "editorial response" to a mock presidential debate.

During the opening sketch — which featured SNL actors playing Clinton, rival candidate Barack Obama and the debate moderators — Clinton complimented the performance of Amy Poehler, who regularly lampoons Clinton with her impersonation of the senator from New York.

"I simply adore Amy's impression of me," Clinton said, providing the cue for Poehler to enter the stage, wearing the same two-button brown jacket and sporting Clinton's medium-length, layered hairstyle.

Glad to see Hillary had the opportunity to share her great sense of humor with many who had never had a glimpse her lighter side. What an amazing woman. She is intelligent, witty, warm and very strong.
It's nice to see and hear her positives on the air. If one only watched cable and TV news you would think she didn't have any. The wisecracks that have been uttered about her by the pundits really stink. Those things would never be said about a man. It is about time that the so called journalists realized it is not just an all boys club. There are lots of women out here and we vote too.

I suspect that a sense of humor and a very thick skin are an absolute necessities if one opts for a political career.

Thats enought rambling on my part. I haven't felt that someone was so right for the office of president in a very long time.

Go Hillary!,

I saw it, it was great!

Lisa   March 2nd, 2008 2:11 pm ET

As much as I dislike her politics, I actually thought she did a great job on SNL last night. It wont change my vote, but I was less cynical of her if only for a few minutes.

Zia   March 2nd, 2008 2:10 pm ET

A politician with 35 (sic!) years of experience needs SNL's help againt Barak Obama… boo hoo. Can we drop her and move on to the real election please - Obama '08

Martha   March 2nd, 2008 2:08 pm ET

I am disappointed in SNL. I have been a fan since its inception and have appreciated its humor even when it was used against those I supported. However, last night SNL crossed the line, when its "humor" was used as an endorsement of Clinton. SNL is no longer funny to me. I will now avoid the show that has captivated me for over thirty years.

Tim   March 2nd, 2008 2:06 pm ET

what would have been awesome is if Obama would have trumped her by walking in a few seconds after she did…. anything for free face time!

I would have liked to see her facial expression….

New York City   March 2nd, 2008 1:54 pm ET

Why don't we ask her if she is comfortable and do she need a pillow?

Ronald, American living abroad   March 2nd, 2008 1:46 pm ET

Wasn't this where Guliani and Huckabee spent all their time once it was obvious that they could not win?

Ryan from New Mexico   March 2nd, 2008 1:44 pm ET

I love how fun this was

I watching it to the end and the ending of this episode had a great one with Major Guliani

The guys does an awesome job with impersination Obama…lol their nearly Identical !!!!

Jacques   March 2nd, 2008 1:44 pm ET

I admit it was Hillary's funniest moment on TV, she did better than i expected. But i don't see how a funny 2 minutes on saturday night live makes her a better candidate for president. It doesn't change anything and it doesn't help her with important demographics.

Monday night on Daily Show should be more of the same.

Ray   March 2nd, 2008 1:38 pm ET

I want this woman to be our president! She was great in the Saturday night skit. If only everybody can see her as she was last night.

Moodi   March 2nd, 2008 1:35 pm ET

It is so disgusting to see SNL's racist cartoon on Obama. I don't know when you are going to admit that there is a biased approach in media coverage in favor of clintons legacy.
Shame on you SNL.

Marc   March 2nd, 2008 1:35 pm ET

Great to see Hillary unwind and poke a little fun at herself. I thought she did a great job. But, man, is that the best Obama SNL can come up with?

Beth B   March 2nd, 2008 1:34 pm ET

I absoulutly love her…

HH   March 2nd, 2008 1:34 pm ET

The obama and Tim Russert character need alot of work, they don't look and sound like both of them.

Mike   March 2nd, 2008 1:32 pm ET

Good job, Hillary. You were great!

Leah DiMarco, TX   March 2nd, 2008 1:31 pm ET

Hillary has been Xerox'ed!

Obama '08 - one of a kind

sandi from Arizona   March 2nd, 2008 1:30 pm ET

Very funny…it was fun seeing Hillary having fun.

BIll   March 2nd, 2008 1:28 pm ET

Loved it! She is a lovely woman with grace, heart, strength and an obviously lively spirit. I pray for her success…

Pat M PEI Canada   March 2nd, 2008 1:27 pm ET

Lame.

JOHN   March 2nd, 2008 1:03 pm ET

JUST A NOTE TO HILLARY, IT'S, LIVE FROM N.Y. IT'S SATURDAY NIGHT. YOU BLEW THE LINE, JUST LIKE YOUR BLOWING THIS ELECTION.

cw   March 2nd, 2008 1:03 pm ET

Must be nice that she can get her way by crying and whining my mom send me to my room for such rants. what we should be seeing on Hillary is her tax returns. I'm sure Hillary and bill made mucho doe off of the very same issues she is speaking against

linda   March 2nd, 2008 1:01 pm ET

It took SNL to expose what everybody already knew, the obvious media bias. The media's hate for Sen Clinton has help to tilt the primaries in sen Obama's favor, which has divided democrats and made them look weak. The lack of reporting on Obama's campaign is mind boggling at best. One of Obamas biggest supporter and friend of 18 years Tony Rezko is going on trial tomorrow for campaign fraud and kickbacks, yet not one word from the media. This will lead to a McCain presidency. Media networks should take a long look at some of the people they hire after these primaries. I think a few should be replaced with more neutral and balanced journalist. Lou Dobbs has been the fairest at cnn

Nancy   March 2nd, 2008 1:00 pm ET

Bravo. SNL is the only non-sexist media source.

jess   March 2nd, 2008 1:00 pm ET

Well, at least Wilco was on. So seven minutes of good music for 8o minutes of the usual recycled bad sketches and a strange, strange moment of desperation, it wasn't a total waste.

Rodney-Dallas TX   March 2nd, 2008 12:56 pm ET

She was awesome! I love how it poked fun at the media for asking Hillary the hard questions and then asking Obama. "and your response".

independent   March 2nd, 2008 12:51 pm ET

thank you snl.

Abe   March 2nd, 2008 12:49 pm ET

You see Hillary can make a joke now and then. And she actualy smiles. Am I the only one who notices that Obama hardly ever smiles?

jason   March 2nd, 2008 12:48 pm ET

It's about time.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Grant   March 2nd, 2008 12:48 pm ET

Pathetic!!, she had to beg to be on the show……geeeeez!!!!!! How can she live with herself, …VERY PRESIDENTIAL!

Whines and complained and pushed to be on the show..talk about desparate. You know it's over when this happens plus her staffers are now spinning that Obama has to win all the primaries to prove that his 11 wins in a row weren't a fluke…

I liked Hillary, but her last days are looking pretty sad…

Trev   March 2nd, 2008 12:46 pm ET

Good job Hillary! The media deserves to be called out on this issue. I would have a lot more confidence in Obama if I thought the media was putting him through the ringer like they are with Hillary.

Hillary 08!

Kevin   March 2nd, 2008 12:44 pm ET

I saw it; the sketch was funny.

bonnie j   March 2nd, 2008 12:43 pm ET

i was great, finally some one gets it right.i think they did a great obama, i have not fallen under the obama spell, the media should pay attention, maybe they could see them selves, na never happen. its ok obama couldnt take it like hillary can . thankyou SNL.

Ted   March 2nd, 2008 12:43 pm ET

New York actually voted Carpet Bagging Clinton in as a senator. That is the real Joke here… I saw it and it was cute…

Whats up with the Sambo Act.. What's next having Mr. Obama Saying mammy?

bonnie j   March 2nd, 2008 12:39 pm ET

i thought it was great. to bad they are only on once a week. finally some one has a grip on the way this election has been going.they portrayed obama just perfect.that is how i see him every time he speaks.thank you S N L. perhaps the media should pay more attention of there own shows, maybe they will see the simulatities, na never happen. perhaps it is a good thing obama couldnt take like hillary can .

Terry   March 2nd, 2008 12:37 pm ET

How come somebody who said in the MSNBC debate that the reason that she didn't file her tax returns is because she barely have time to sleep….and yet she did have time to appear on SNL and will have to appear tomorrow on the daily show.

Please Hillary, release your tax returns to the public…

mjc   March 2nd, 2008 12:36 pm ET

this was great, go hillary 08!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dee   March 2nd, 2008 12:34 pm ET

Good to see her laughing!!!!

loribee   March 2nd, 2008 12:31 pm ET

Why not spend that time meeting with voters instead of relaxing and having fun on SNL? I guess voters aren't HRC's top priority!! Another poor judgement call on her part!

AZ   March 2nd, 2008 12:29 pm ET

She was a good sport - a winning quality. Funny how 'Obama' was able to piggy-back 'Clinton's answers and still managed to stutter getting them out.

Tammi   March 2nd, 2008 12:27 pm ET

Thanks for the comic relief Hillary, but I'm still voting for Obama in OH on March 4. After which I hope you'll simply concede and start helping Obama beat the republicans in November.

Mike D   March 2nd, 2008 12:27 pm ET

This skit was pretty lame…

SharonR   March 2nd, 2008 12:23 pm ET

it was cute Go Hillary

CarpetDeeum   March 2nd, 2008 12:20 pm ET

People want a candidate with consistency.
When she was the inevitable nominee, she wouldn't do SNL or TDS. Now that she might lose the nomination, she suddenly changes her face and goes on them right before the Tuesday primaries.
Sad, really. If she had just stayed true to her real self, she could have been a great president.

Mike   March 2nd, 2008 12:19 pm ET

Very funny. If Hillary showed people this side more of the time, she'd run away with the election.

Texans Are Excited about Barack Obama - TAEBO   March 2nd, 2008 12:19 pm ET

Why is every article on here suddenly about Hillary Clinton. How about a balanced perspective?????

ilforobama   March 2nd, 2008 12:17 pm ET

Headline for tomorrow: "Clinton complains again about unfair media coverage"…

Helen   March 2nd, 2008 12:17 pm ET

SNL did a good job showing how uncomfortable men are when facing a woman as tough and maybe smarter than they are. Good work! And for all of the young people out there who think they invented cool, or that cool only comes to those under 30 (oh, wait, make that 45) — guess again. Jack is cool, for example, and he is 70. Hillary was cool — by getting out the vote in Texas in the 70s, for example — way before most of Obama fans were even born. She is still cool, as SNL has shown, because she has been able to be her own candidate in the face of unbelievable bias and adversity. She can bridge the gap between ages, sexes, races, poltical parties….and hopefully, between countries. There is a tough road ahead and we need a tough girl in charge. Thanks, SNL, for leveling a playing field that has been all dug up by biased media boys.

king from toronto   March 2nd, 2008 12:15 pm ET

glad it was short! glad it was'nt sweet.she's just not genuine.

Veronica   March 2nd, 2008 12:15 pm ET

Hillary doesn't have time to sleep, but she can appear on SNL? She doesn't have time to do her taxes, but she has time to appear on SNL? Shouldn't she be out campaigning instead of being on SNL? That's NOT the kind of judgement I would like to see in a president.

Miles   March 2nd, 2008 12:15 pm ET

I can't believe how one-sided SNL has become. They did this same sketch last week, and just repeated it with the real Hillary in tow. Between these two sketches and Tina Fey's pro-Hillary rant, they may as well put a Hillary for President banner at the bottom of the screen. SNL used to be an equal opportunity lampooner. It's a shame they've actually endorsed a candidate.

jessafina   March 2nd, 2008 12:14 pm ET

I'm just disappointed that SNL couldn't come up with something different from last week's sketch. It's fine if the want to endorse Clinton, but be original!

NC Voter   March 2nd, 2008 12:12 pm ET

As an Obama supporter, I would have loved to see much more of this in her campaign, good warm hearted humor. She should not have listened to her campaign strategist.

Amy in Iowa   March 2nd, 2008 12:12 pm ET

Is SNL working for Hillary now? I am glad the voters nationwide will decide this race and not the NYC crew of SNL.

yes she will   March 2nd, 2008 12:11 pm ET

Who says Hillary doesn't have a sense of humor? I thought it was great and the audience did too. Put that in your change pipe and smoke it, Obama!

Sam, Albuquerque, NM   March 2nd, 2008 12:07 pm ET

How scripted can you get? Well, I guess it worked for Obama so now Hillary has to try for the younger vote.

Nice campaign, Hill. Are you sure you haven't pandered enough?

Mark   March 2nd, 2008 12:03 pm ET

Sense of humor = zero.
Hypocrisy = 100%.
Who really can trust this individual?
We are not so naive!

Jackie   March 2nd, 2008 12:01 pm ET

Time for SNL, but no time to release tax returns?!?!? Shame on you, Hillary.

sivananthi   March 2nd, 2008 11:59 am ET

It^s good to see that the MEDIA is showing more neutral stories of Hillary Clinton rather than showing her as a negative person all the time….

I THINK THE MEDIA IS GETTING TO KNOW WHAT THEY HAVE BEEN DOING TO HILLARY CLINTON IN THE PAST WEEKS……

-Hillary 08.

bond   March 2nd, 2008 11:58 am ET

Clinton made her jacket from my 1979 recliner.

Annamica, OH   March 2nd, 2008 11:56 am ET

CNN no offense, but where is the story on Obama and CTV? I'm yet to see one, and this is groundbreaking news! Wake up Ohio, Obama lied to us, use your intelligence and stick with Hillary!

Jack - Houston, TX   March 2nd, 2008 11:53 am ET

This was pretty funny

It showed Hillary's more human side

Ed K.   March 2nd, 2008 11:47 am ET

Good to see Hillary trying to stir up some of the youth vote but Obama has them on the Koolaid and most are too crazy with HOPE, INSPIRATION and UPLIFTING to realize how much this country needs her leadership.

penny   March 2nd, 2008 11:44 am ET

this snl skit points out exactly why we can't have hillary in the WH. She is annoying and rude and will alienate many foreign leaders. Being first lady does not give her the experience needed for being president. Having Hillary on after the skit sure seems like an endorsement. Why not have both candidates on! Hillary is not funny.

Reality check   March 2nd, 2008 11:44 am ET

While the nation can not even repeat Obama's middle name,, Hillary has shown the strength to take insults and personal painful attacks and still retain dignity and humor. Hillary is a true leader.

Larry Buchas, New Britain, CT   March 2nd, 2008 11:43 am ET

I'm for Obama. That being said, Hillary and Bill have developed a niche with these political spoofs. They even make fun of themselves which everyone can enjoy.

I thought their Sopranos take was well done. And her appearance last night was very good. How can anyone not like it?

Hillary, I really hope you have a future in these comic stints. SNL needs some new blood and you would be a perfect fit. In fact, I would look forward to your hosting the show. You must admit, it's much more fun than filling a waitress position at Bob Evans.

You go, girl!

Kirk   March 2nd, 2008 11:41 am ET

I THINK HILLARY IS A SUPER LADY AND AN AWESOME LEADER . GOD BLESS!!!

sharon   March 2nd, 2008 11:38 am ET

Maybe Hillary should take up acting, she is pretty good at being a comedian??????

Lisa   March 2nd, 2008 11:38 am ET

I thought that she was great. The opening skit was very funny. I am hoping that all goes well on Tuesday for her.

Hillary 08

LC   March 2nd, 2008 11:35 am ET

As an OBAMA supporter, I am acutally glad she took a moment away from her divisive, mean spirited, Karl Rovian, fear mongering, poorly organized campaign to enjoy herself.

bruce patras new york ny   March 2nd, 2008 11:35 am ET

hillary is trying to play a sneaky
end game here . she wants to cut obama's legs off so maclain can win . and in 4 yrs come back again to run .

her scorched earth tactics suck . she can only divide .

bring our boys home .

peace

Hi,
I loved it !!!! Senator Clinton was great !!!
Ginger

True Democrat   March 2nd, 2008 11:27 am ET

It's funny, the matching wardrobe shows less what a good impression Poehler does, and more what a slimy chameleon Clinton really is.

Don't fall for Clinton cramming the media with her image just before election day in the hopes of scraping an extra 5% off the top in Ohio!

Listen to your emotional and intellectual sides and don't succumb to fear and falsehoods… vote for real hope and change on Mar. 4!

OBAMA '08!!!

Jeff Spangler, Arlington, VA   March 2nd, 2008 11:27 am ET

The side-by-side comparison of the two is insulting to Amy Poehler. And, yes, Hillary, you really _do_ laugh like that– a shrill and inauthentic cackle from a humorless drone.

Denise   March 2nd, 2008 11:26 am ET

Good for Hillary….I wonder how CNN and Fox News will find a way to spin this into a slam against Hillary….well let me rephrase…how will CNN and Fox News spin this to compliment Obama.?

Ladybug   March 2nd, 2008 11:23 am ET

SNL was a good outlet for my girl Hillary……………….2008……2012……..

Independent Voter in Texas   March 2nd, 2008 11:23 am ET

When her campaign is broke the Clintons strong arm the news media into giving you free press.

Now who should run the country. I candidate that doesn't have the vision to get her past Super Tuesday or a candidate in it for the long run.

Answer is clear don't you think.

molly   March 2nd, 2008 11:22 am ET

Hillarious! SNL is right on in noting the pandering of certain and several MSNBC "moderators" in the debates and on their shows. I know it will only make the likes of Olbermann even more angry and defensive but their shows should have Obama at the end saying "I'm Barack Obama and I approved this message".

And Senator Clinton is really very funny! Keep it coming.

Jay   March 2nd, 2008 11:19 am ET

Excellent point -Sc and I need to watch her AD again to count those rings…lol The real funny part is that I am a Clinton supporter. Maybe I need to rethink that because I have a feeling Bush and Mccain is hoping Hillary win so they can. Very good point, oh well Obama will be on my mind, because I do not want Mccain in the whitehouse. I like Hillary but I don't think she could win against Mccain. I know many are picking her because of her speech about experience but we have to remember Bush claim he is well experience as well and we know how that worked out… your point is making me think about obama as my choice because I do not like mccain. sorry Hilary

Mark   March 2nd, 2008 11:19 am ET

My fiancee and I were watching SNL last night. When she came on, and then when SNL continued to side with her, we stopped watching.

I watch SNL for objective political skits - not propaganda.

David   March 2nd, 2008 11:11 am ET

Sadly, Hillary does not know the difference between AWOL and Missing i Action. I am a Vet and I am here to tell you that there is a signifigant difference. Missing in Action usually means that you are either dead or captured in the LINE of DUTY. Do we want a commander in chief that does not even comprehend basic military language?

David   March 2nd, 2008 11:11 am ET

Awwww. this SNL segment was so cute. Hillary has a great sense of humor and she can even laugh at herself. Hillary '08

Kelli   March 2nd, 2008 11:09 am ET

Hey CNN - how come no comments for "Obama mocking Clinton?" Afraid to have some anti-Obummer comments?!??

CLINTON WILL PREVAIL!!

lzspc   March 2nd, 2008 11:08 am ET

I am so glad that SNL is showing to the world on how bias and unfair the media and debates have been against Hillary!! This show will go down in history as making real truth out of this whole presidential debate!!!

And i also think it is funny how the media will ask other media workers on how theey feel about American stating they are being bias!!!! Are you all for real??? Slowly but surely no one is going to evenr truely believe everything that is being said on CNN or any other news channel…….

I wonder how many threats SNL has received form Obama supporters since they threaten everyone else…….

Vote on experience not color!!!

HILLARY ALL THE WAY!!!

I LOVE SNL EVEN MORE NOW!

Closely Watching   March 2nd, 2008 11:08 am ET

Please Google 'Clinton IPA Campaign Contributions' and read the story about this…It is very important, especially if you are a woman supporting Clinton.

SWING STATE FAMILY   March 2nd, 2008 11:05 am ET

I thought it was lame … it may just be me but I think that ever since Hillary has been whining about not enough media attention the stations including CNN hussle to make sure that they show their 'affection' for Hillary.

You know, if Obama would not be nominated as a result of Billary's smear and fear campaign, the only enjoyment would be to see the Republican clean the floor with the wanna-be royal couple.

Our family would vote 'Republican' for the first time ever and I would contribute to McCain's campaign to defeat Billary … obviously I would leave the Democratic party and become 'Independent'.

The amazing thing is that I am not alone with that sentiment here in Missouri. I talk to many neighboors and co-workers, many of them who support Barack Obama - and I have not found one person who would vote for Billary if she smears her way into the nomination …

Robin Benson   March 2nd, 2008 11:04 am ET

I find it interesting that in the beginning of the campaign when Hillary Clinton was winning and often reported favorably by the media to be the presumptive nominee destines to inherit the White House royal throne, she had no problem with the media. But now that there’s a chance she may not be crowned, she starts crying and crying, and crying.
Is this how she plans to go after John McCain? You’d think with all this experience she’s been touting throughout the campaign, she’d know better.

Hillary needs to make up her mind and realize she’s running for President of the United States and the media is nothing compared to what she’s going to have to face from nation, the world, and our enemies.

Robin Benson, Detroit, Michigan

Mary   March 2nd, 2008 11:02 am ET

Why did it take SNL to show the media/CNN they were biased? How many polls does CNN need to do to try proving they aren't biased?
Play back the lst 10 months of remarks by the Best Most Biased Political Team.

Kevin   March 2nd, 2008 11:02 am ET

Must be another slow day for Hillary if the headlines are all entertainment endorsements. maybe she can get some advice about how to stay in character.

SC   March 2nd, 2008 11:01 am ET

Yea, she also ask SNL to endorse her and they said no. Don't let Hillary fool you all. Like the 3am phone call if you notice the phone rung about 5 times with Obama ad he answers it right away.
Now she is setting it up as man against woman. After that outburst showing all that angry, do we really want a woman who can not handle pms. Well I hope she is in a stable mood if she do have to answer that phone.

We need to vote in who we truly can beat McCain. Because I promise you this if it is between McCain vs Clinton, McCain will be president. Some might hate Obama but many love him and if we don't vote him in we will have McCain with ways worser than Bush. The race is about who we think can really beat McCain and Hillary don't stand a chance. Start thinking people…

vl   March 2nd, 2008 11:00 am ET

This was hilarious! I really think it showed the human side of Hillary, something the media and her rivals have tried to keep secret. To bad the media doesn't show the entire skit, it was actually pretty accurate regarding the bias of reporters and commentators.

Rosa   March 2nd, 2008 10:59 am ET

And this is what a future potential President should be doing? It is going to bring about the serious change our country needs? Come on people, get real!

Way to go Hillary. I enjoyed the show greatly. You were great. Also I certainly hope fellow Texans watched the George Steponoplis interview of the two Democrat Candidates Campaign Chairmen this morning. Obama's was asked to explain several questions to OBAMA's connection to the indicted ANTOIN (TONY) REZKO about his campaign contributions and his real estate dealings with the man that netted him a $300,000 savings on his home in Chicago. Before you vote for this scoundrel look deep into his background. Unless you want another Nixon White House do not vote for this man. HILLARY 08

Obama -bots will no doubt try to find any fault they can. Obama is not the right person to be President. His claim to fame, "I was against the war." Oh wait, I wasn't sure when I was supporting Kerry. I think Al Qaeda in Afghanastan was the real threat, why I did not hold any meetings while chairing that committee, well I have been too busy campaigning for President for the past two years. The most important thing for me, is to be President. I will change the way Washington works. Every committee will be in name only. I will eliminate the Sec. of State position and meet with all foreign leaders, friends and foes. We must show the world we are not all that.

you gotta hand it to Hilary, she was great last night!!! Personally I have so much respect for her. With all the crap thats going on she still can get on stage and make a comedy show of herself on national television. It just shows how she really is a normal person like the rest of us who just because she is a politician still likes to have a good laugh. I hope that American can see this and elect her as our next president.

Beating up press for political analysts and commentators' opinions. Trying to distract attention and get sympathy again! Just another tactic and see which fool will fall for it.

Another tawdry attempt to reinvent herself by faking a soft side. The only part that was sincere was the disturbing cackle .

Another exaggerated, but accurate skit. Any truly objective voter would have to admit the Obama is helped much more by the media.

So Saturday Night Live is endorsing their home state senator. Please, we all known that SNL is now pushing Hillary Clinton.

As for Hillary Clinton, her latest attacks against the press is absurd. Hillary has had the press advantage for well over two years. All polls against Republican opponents were with her as the Democrat nominee. All coverage was of her. She even utilized a former president to push herself as president.

When all this failed, she argues that caucuses don't count, speeches don't count, don't count this vote on the war, don't count my support on Nafta, now, she argues its the press while putting out Rovian attacks about a phone call at 3 in the morning.

Hillary has to go.

This was a GREAT skit!

It was simply Senator Clinton showing Obama what it will look like when she takes her rightful position in the Oval office as Commander In Chief.

What is that I hear? No, it's not the SNL audience laughing, It's Obamas supporters crying after Hillary wins the nomination.

Go Hillary 08!!

Hillary For Ohio   March 2nd, 2008 10:36 am ET

Great show Hillary!!!!!!!!!, I can now see Obama's ship sinking….

MJB - Decatur, GA   March 2nd, 2008 10:35 am ET

"Just stand there and don't try to be funny, beacuse you're not" = Best advice Team Clinton has given their candidate thus far.

This showed a great side of HIllary that unfortunately we do not see enough. Amy does a great Hillary.
