Sen. Evan Bayh, a prominent Clinton surrogate, in her new Indiana ad.

(CNN) — Hillary Clinton's campaign is featuring one of Indiana's most popular politicians in its first statewide ad in the state. The spot hits the airwaves Tuesday.

In 'Steel,' Indiana Sen. Evan Bayh says:

"America faces challenging times. We need a leader who'll fight for good jobs, change trade deals like NAFTA, cut taxes for middle class families. Someone who's ready to be commander in chief from day one.

"That leader? Hillary Clinton. I've known Hillary for 20 years. She's got a spine of steel. She'll fight for our jobs, our troops, and the America we love. Strong. Seasoned. She'll always stand up for us."

Primary voters in the state head to the polls May 6.

Jeanette   April 7th, 2008 8:58 pm ET

Senator Bayh said all the right things about Hillary ,she is the most qualifield to be the leader of our country.She has the experience and knowlege, and she is tough to take on McCain. I would not vote for Obama–I don't trust him after staying in that church of hate for 20 years. i don't believe he is qualifield.

Hillary 08

The truth hurts   April 7th, 2008 8:53 pm ET

Can any HRC supporter tell me where the jobs are that she promised to the citizens of New York? SOLUTIONS RIGHT.

Gene   April 7th, 2008 8:53 pm ET

This is sheer hypocrisy—Hillary supported NAFTA during her husband's tenure, now she is indirecting supporting NAFTA through her surrogates.
109 million in less than 7yrs…………………………………Billary personal enrichment program.

Sniper?????? mispoke???
NAFTA???? political footballl???

Obama will never ever win the general election so a vote for him would be putting another Republican in the White House. Obama fans are hateful and its disgusting

BILL CLINTONS PRESIDENCY WAS ONE OF THE BEST TIMES FOR AMERICA…

BUT HE HAD A LOT OF DISTRACTIONS:….

HILLARY WILL BE A MUCH BETTER PRESIDENT THAN BILL AND AMERICA WILL BE MUCH BETTER IN ABOUT 4 YEARS TIME WITH HILLARY AS THE PRESIDENT….

-HILLARY 08.

Warren Richart   April 7th, 2008 8:48 pm ET

Cheryl, you sure are working overtime.

Ratgurl   April 7th, 2008 8:41 pm ET

Hey Skipper,

Hill & Bill donated 10% to charity. Check your stats.

& BTW, Obama aparently doesn't feel the need to pander to ethnic groups like Hillary does. Black people know he supports them. He doesn't need to hold their hand to prove it!

Deb at Tx ranch   April 7th, 2008 8:40 pm ET

No one could have gotten me to do a commercial for Hillary at this point. With all of the LIES, oh - excuse me misstatements; I would not have belittled myself to speak in her behalf.

Tim   April 7th, 2008 8:38 pm ET

Clinton takes more money from special interests then any of the three candidates. Obama and McCain take practically none. Who do you trust?

John   April 7th, 2008 8:28 pm ET

Sen. Obama's political bandwagon is wobbling all over.By the time it gets to Puerto rico,all the wheels would have flownoff-leaving the bandwagon in tatters and complete shambles.One cannot be a star forever! The star power fades a lot faster,especially when it comes to politics. We will always support Hillary.Those Hillary bashers are running out of the despicable derogatory uncouth words.Like it or not,the bashers will loose!!!! Go!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hillary Go!!!!!!!! upto the White House for 8years! Why not if you are good -you are good.Then VP.Bayh will take over for for another 8years. Obama if he still a sentor,can then at the mature age of 61years take over the White House!!!! Why not Si se puede!

Anne   April 7th, 2008 8:28 pm ET

I guess this guy won't be on Obama's short list for VP.

Democrats, y'all need to come together unless you want the same people in charge of the White House to "ruin" the White House for another four long years.

HILLARY!   April 7th, 2008 8:28 pm ET

To Miss Belief…..

Lies in his books…..Kennedy connection with his father getting to the US…LIED
Selma, AL having to do with his birth….dates do NOT match up…LIED…..quoting a magazine article that NEVER existed….LIED…..fisrt didn't know his preacher, then knew him, then didn't hear anything, then did hear some stuff…LIED
Doesn't take money from Big OIL….LIED (over $250,000)
Maytag, Rezko, Wright, Nuclear Power Plant, Palmer in Illinois…….
SHOULD I KEEP GOING?????? This is ALL within his SHORT political career……can you IMAGINE what he would do as president?????

angie   April 7th, 2008 8:20 pm ET

The maths is impossible, so Hillary please do not break the democratic party, even if you win pennsylvenia the superdelegate will still endorse OBAMA, please after NORTHCAROLINA try and step down.

Too bad Bo's ideas ALL come from Hillary……..why do you think everyone says "but they agree on most everything"…….he follows HER lead on ALL policies…….

dale in indiana   April 7th, 2008 8:16 pm ET

obama has an ad in indiana saying he has been working to help people in the steel mills that lost their jobs and to keep the mills going..but it's kinda sad ever since he's been working on that ,since the late 80's and early 90's the steel mills have been closing up one by one. apparently he's not doing very well. i don't think i'd be making an ad like that but of course he's got a lot of people buffaloed.he will lose in indiana.his double talk is catching up to him quick.go hillary..
maybe cnn will show this

California girl   April 7th, 2008 8:10 pm ET

A vote for Obama is a vote for BIG OIL. Obama has been receiving major contributions from the Big Oil Companies per Meet the Press. Our gas prices will go up with the Obama administration if he is to win the nomination and the presidency.

Always, for Hillary 08

Kyu Reisch, Radcliff, Kentucky   April 7th, 2008 8:10 pm ET

ella, what makes you say "Hillary won't win Indiana"? Why don't you run for the President if you know whole world? I wouldn't say if I am not sure. Check Straw Poll, you will understand. Just wait until 6 May and 20 May, I am very possitive. Hillary, Go Hillary.

kelly WI   April 7th, 2008 8:09 pm ET

Penn is a lobbyist. He wanted in on the ground floor to grab the bucks for his company.
He has not resigned. Just got a different titile.
Hillary knows we will not boycott the Olympics so she's just spouting off to be anti-bush. She knows the vast amount of Americans don't under stand trade deals any way but she thinks because she says something people will believe her. Clinton speak.

Truth   April 7th, 2008 8:07 pm ET

The MOST qualified candidate is Hillary!

Hillary '08

Ryan   April 7th, 2008 8:04 pm ET

Why does anyone believe what Clinton says, she has continually lied to us about NAFTA, sniper shootings, and even about healthcare incidents in ohio among others. How can anyone still trust here at all. If she is lying to us now just imagine how bad it would be if she were President.

Insider from Sacramento   April 7th, 2008 8:01 pm ET

Can you believe the amount of money senator Clinton gave to charity? All the critics out there should pause for a moment and THINK. That is truly an indication of someone who loves her country and her fellow men. Clinton haters should try to emulate her. I am sure their perspective on life and their view of Hillary Clinton would be different. Hillary Clinton deserves our votes; she has earned them, even when we were not looking. As to senator Obama, all comments and consideration STOPPED on his allegiance and affiliation to a church that showed to be SO ANTI AMRERICAN—to think that he endorses that philosophy and still want to lead this country makes you wonder WHERE TO?

Tim   April 7th, 2008 8:01 pm ET

Hillary's heart must be made of steel too.

OBAMA 08, 12….

simon   April 7th, 2008 7:56 pm ET

Congratulations Hillary! I am so proud of Senator Bayh for endorsing the right candidate. Vote for Hillary in Indiana!

John   April 7th, 2008 7:55 pm ET

Sen.Evan Bayh is quite a character.Smart,cool and collected.He does not bellow when adressing the public.No wonder he is popular in Indiana.Sen.Bayh will effectively catapult Hillary to a comfortable range to defeat sen. Obama in Indiana. The people of Indiana are aware of Hillary's potential as President to be.Thanks to Sen. Bayh for supporting Hillary.Go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hillary Go! A Hillary-Bayh 08- 12? ,Why not!!!!!!!!! Go for it.

ella   April 7th, 2008 7:55 pm ET

Hillary won't win Indiana.

Poli   April 7th, 2008 7:53 pm ET

Hey OlvrWht! Are you kiddin' me?
Perhaps Bill and Hillary should run for World King & Queen for helping all of the "millions" of non-US citizens around the world!? I seriously question whether Hillary has the mental capacity or judgement to defend the U.S. Constitution and execute the duties of the U.S. Presidency.
I feel sorry for you if you sincerely love the Clinton's that much - for love has made you blind. Wake up dude! :)

Jack in ND   April 7th, 2008 7:51 pm ET

This Cheryl is as much of a boon for the Obama supporters as James Carville…

Chile   April 7th, 2008 7:51 pm ET

It seems as if everyone else who has know the Clinton for that long, have gotten out of dodge as fast as they can. A woman who is made of steel can be good for the country, however that steel must be tempered with integrity and dignity. I see none of these characteristics in Clinton. Male or Female I am looking to vote for the lesser of two evils. Clinton/ Obama =Obama less evil, McCain/Obama=Obama less evil and our next president. Come on democrats we always vote for the lesser of two evils, why change that policy now.

To the State of Indiana: Vote for Hillary.

A vote for Obama is a vote for Reverend Wright.

Hillary all the Way!

Patrick   April 7th, 2008 7:45 pm ET

Bessie , Linda You are a few of the brilliant people on here i see , so many people have joined Obama's band wagon,and with CNN's help,obama has had a spare wheel. but i will tell you this to all the blind, just say yes people,the wheels are about to come off. Nafta, is very in depth, and what Hillary voted for has been great,the things she DIDN'T like about Nafta are exactly what she will change. She backed the Nafta deal because it was and still is good for the country,it definetly needs areas looked at which she has been saying all the time,,Open your eyes and ears people. It has now been said by few that obama will not end this war any time soon. We will be led into the dark by MR. Obama,,
Hillary gets the nomination, or Mr. MCCain gets my vote.
OH! By the way, some people need to search and research as i have so many hours. I have learned alot about issues in this election,and all the negativity comes from the Obamamanians, Bring it up,Repeat it and so on.

Dan (TX)   April 7th, 2008 7:44 pm ET

What? No 3 a.m. phone calls? No sniper fire? No working the night-shift? I'm shocked! :)
Must be about time for another round of crocodile tears - haven't seen them in awhile now!
Wonder what strategy she'll try next??

Go Hillary! Don't give up. I look forward to having a woman lead this country for a "change"; the guys have had it forever: now it's our (a woman's) turn.

Amy Kathleen   April 7th, 2008 7:41 pm ET

Bull. Hillary will stand up for herself, first and foremost. And if she has any spare time, she'll stand up for whatever demographic will get her elected. She has already said that people from my state don't count, we don't represent Americans. For someone so adimit that Florida and Michigan get seated, she is pretty quick to dismiss over half the primaries because of their number of electoral votes. So much for count everyone, huh Hillary? You don't think I'm important, fine, I'll vote for someone who does.

john, veteran US Army   April 7th, 2008 7:41 pm ET

She's going down like a Dot.com in Indiana and elsewhere.

4REAL   April 7th, 2008 7:39 pm ET

Sen. Evan Bayh is blind, because Hillary was the one who was for NAFTA that took the jobs. So tell me how anyone would think that Hillary would be the best choice. I hope Bayh can see the forest for the trees and knows what he is doing why choosing a liar.

John, Lincoln NE   April 7th, 2008 7:38 pm ET

Sen Bayh must have forgotten that President Clinton is responsible for signing NAFTA. Apparently Mrs. Clinton forgot too. Maybe she was dodging sniper fire in Bosnia that day.

Jenny Sprowl   April 7th, 2008 7:37 pm ET

Cheryl, Please get real and stop using all caps. Your I.Q. is showing. Clinton can not and will not win. People don't like to be treated as if thay are stupid. She thinks we must all be a bunch of dummys that she can control. No more….Get a grip will ya?

Jay   April 7th, 2008 7:36 pm ET

Obama fans are just sad and pathetic. Read the above comments. You guys are sick!

People keep referring to Obama scandals just waiting to happen. What are they? Do tell?

Jenny Sprowl   April 7th, 2008 7:32 pm ET

A spine of steel and a brain of mud. The only thing steel about her is her blindness to the fact that she is a looser. How can you people stay with her? She has shown her self to be a liar left and right. I live in Indiana and I will be voting for Obama. Hillary is only a cry baby wannabe.

honkey white guy from cali   April 7th, 2008 7:29 pm ET

how about all that so called charity money they gave away oh yea right they gave it away to there own charity who in turn gave millions away to other charities of the very people endorsing her campaign oh my what a tangled web we weave

Go Obama 08

kathleen retired Professional w/woman for obama   April 7th, 2008 7:29 pm ET

And this is a man that "knows' the Clintons for 20 years.?
Folks, HE KNOWS THE CLINTONS. And he can utter the
words "Nafta" and Clinton in the same breathe!!!!!!!! Cut
Taxes, Be Commander in chief from Day 1. WHERE HAS
this man been. OUT IN SPACE!!!!! MR. Bayh!!!! You better
check out how MOST of AMERICA feels before you lead
your Indiana people astray. WE LOST OUR JOBS ALREADY
AND DON'T THINK HILLARY WILL BE ABLE TO BRING THEM
BACK!!!!!, Mr. Bayh. You and Hillary still have your jobs!!!We
are not holding our breath waiting for the Clinton's to bring
us "old people our jobs back anytime soon. Get real, and
go spend you money with the Clintons on vacation in Dubai!!!!

Obama and No One Else. Thanks Richardson for telling the
truth about someone you knew better than most.

Chris in Va.   April 7th, 2008 7:27 pm ET

Skippy or whatever, Electorial college does not apply to this contest. To your other points, if flies didn't have wings they'd be walks. Get a grip. P.S., have you met Cheryl?

dem08   April 7th, 2008 7:26 pm ET

Obama will not be elected come November. He may win the primary nominee, but he won't win for president. We don't know too much about him. With the republicans, coming after him, he ain't seen nothing yet. He hasn't been vetted like Hillary has for so many years. He will have a harder time. What goes around comes around. To Obama supporters i say get ready to feel the negative media treatment coming toward Obama. You haven't experience as much media abuse against Obama, as we have with our candidate Hillary. To tell you the truth, I can't wait for all of you to start feeling that hurt that we have been experiencing coming from all over the media against Hillary. You Obama supporters have been nothing but rude,nasty, hateful, mean, disrespectful, arrogant,crazy, vicious, foolish in this election, and i don't want any part of supporting Obama in November. He doesn't want to support us with our votes in Fl. and Mi. to be counted, why should we suppoet him. He doesn't want to bother with our votes, why should we bother to vote for him. Millions of us feel that same way. He will be called the "Illegitimate" or "selected" nominee. Just Like Bush was called in the 2000 election. Also, but certainly not last i would say that millions of us "aren't leaving the dem/ party… the party has left us".

Jack   April 7th, 2008 7:24 pm ET

This ad is gonna work…. it's really good….. That would sway me if I were undecided…. Obama should put together something quick

julie35   April 7th, 2008 7:21 pm ET

Go Hillary, we are with you! Just say no to Obama!

honkey white guy from cali   April 7th, 2008 7:21 pm ET

Ok people I have seen it in here time and time again! that Obama nor Hillary can win the Dem nomination, Do the math!!!!! he has a very good chance of actually winning the nomination given the time he has and what we have seen in the past the longer he has the stronger he gets in every single state. regardless of what is needed to outright claim victory the super delegates will never overturn the popular vote it would be political suicide. and Hillary my friends have no chance what so ever even counting Fl and MI as the votes went in there she still loses I wonder when the media is going to actually say that all I keep hearing is how close this thing is it is not close at all. Unless she lies cheats or steals her way into it she has no chance whatsoever!

Go Obama 08

Bridgette   April 7th, 2008 7:19 pm ET

I live in PA and she needs to win big here first (key word, big). Thousands of us are working hard to make sure she doesn't or at least she won't win by more than 6. With her lies (mispeaks??) I hope that my fellow Pennsylvanians will join me and vote for Barack. We can shut her down and make history! One more thing, OBAMA HATERS… stop because the more you hate, the more he wins! Ask Hillary to run an honest campaign on real issues without stretching the truth or straight out lying!

OBAMA 08!

Chris in Va.   April 7th, 2008 7:17 pm ET

If Hillary Clinton told me the sun was shining I would have to look out the window to see if it was true. Does anyone believe a word this psycho says? I amazes me that many out there are just now realizing that Hillary is a lying scumbag. She hasn't changed a bit since she was in the White House before. Where were you guys?

mattD   April 7th, 2008 7:16 pm ET

Congratulations Hillary. This also shows good judgement on Senator Bayh for endorsing the right candidate. I am proud of Senator Bayh and proud of Indiana!

Truth-Chicago   April 7th, 2008 7:15 pm ET

How can she get away with this? She supported NAFTA. She pushed for it , as in the papers published while she was in the White House as first lady. She voted for the war in Iraq. How can America be so blind by the lies?

Just like the story she told about the pregnant woman, a lie and Bosnia. Shame on you Hillary. Just as something as simple as bowling, she said she was an excellent bowler, in fact better than Barack, but she did poorly when she was put to the test. All mouth and no action. Day one. Please.

Andrea   April 7th, 2008 7:14 pm ET

This Hillary bashing is really getting old. Folks supporting Obama are doing it to spite Senator Clinton for the wrong reasons. It appears that Mr Obama has been very uncomfortable answering questions, and stutters instead. The media has overlooked and overlooked his inconsistencies. How can your conscience allow you to vote for a man that was "advised" by a minister that spoke with so much hatred and malice? I think most of America has gone insane. Where is the Lord when you need him?

Jeff   April 7th, 2008 7:11 pm ET

Obama is our guy. That's why he was criticized by the columbian president on trade! Not Hillary…

Linda   April 7th, 2008 7:09 pm ET

Go Hillary! You are definitely in Hillary Country in So. Indiana. Evan is a fine senator and knows what he is talking about. You have many supporting you in our great Hoosier state.
GO HILLARY!

Betty   April 7th, 2008 7:08 pm ET

Yes, America faces challenging times. We need to change our politics at home and abroad. Only Barack Obama can bring that change. Hillary Clinton is the continuation of the past. She has ties to special interest, she is tricky and dishonest. She voted for the war in Iraq. Barack Obama has the leadership skill and judgment to unite, inspire and stand up for us in America. Obama’s policy platforms will move us toward the better life in America and restore respect once again in the world.

bessie   April 7th, 2008 7:08 pm ET

Obamabots, lay low on those suspucious koolaid and stop bashing Hillary. You are the ones who are negative and throwing the kitchen sink at Hillary. You are the ones who are hateful, angry and dividing the country. You're backing your candidate so strongly but there is no substance for your reason.

JERRY   April 7th, 2008 7:04 pm ET

ENOUGH OF THE OBAMA NAFTA CANADA THING… IT IS NOT TRUE. ANOTHER CLINTON FAST BALL.

Unhappy   April 7th, 2008 7:03 pm ET

Anytime someone that has a good standing with their constituents comes out for Clinton the doors open wide for a great amount of criticism from any and all Obama fans. The media has already campaigned enough for him to last for a couple of elections. How about showing some equality in the press and quit piling on! It ain't over till its over!

CHERYL   April 7th, 2008 7:03 pm ET

Spine of steel? Would that be foreign or domestic? And would it be strong enough to take the initiative and fire someone on her staff that violates her stated trade policy?

CHERYL   April 7th, 2008 7:02 pm ET

THERE WILL BE MORE SCANDAL FOR OBAMA!!!!!!!!

IT IS COMING! AND DON'T THINK THAT CARL ROVE IS NOT WAITING!

COUNT THE VOTES IN MI AND FL BE FAIR!!!!!!!!

I SUPPORT HILLARY CLINTON!!!!!!!!

Marc   April 7th, 2008 6:59 pm ET

As long as the people know all of her lies and scandals. Indiana could not vote for a person who they cannot trust. We now know she is for free trade and that is a part of NAFTA.

Obama 08

I use to watch fox news, now i change to cnn, because some of the reporter are backing HC the liar.

sue   April 7th, 2008 6:55 pm ET

Obama is a serial liar. He kept flip-flopping about his relationship with Rezko, was he or was he not a friend? Did he donate $150K or $250K to his campaign? Was Obama or was he not at the church when Rev. Wright gave those hateful sermons? He said he never heard them but changed his words and said he did during his speech. And what about his lies about thanking the Kennedy family that helped bring his father to America through a scholarship program in 1959. However, the Kennedys didn't get involved with the program until 1960.

larry   April 7th, 2008 6:55 pm ET

I live in Indiana and this DLC democrat is more like a republican than a democrat…his father was a great democrat …he's not.

Ron R   April 7th, 2008 6:54 pm ET

Save yours and your backers money Hillary…….Stop taking donations and give it back to your supporters so they can spend it in our economy. We need this way more than your last ditched efforts to manipulate voters!!

Hc lie again, again and again , I can not stand looking her face on the TV,

marty from Indiana   April 7th, 2008 6:51 pm ET

Hillary went on Leno last week and joked about her telling lies. And she laughted about being under sniper fire. Does she think it is funny to lie to the American people? Does she think it is funny that our boys die in Iraq every day from sniper fire?! There are some things which just aren't funny. Our boys deserve a comander-in-chief who doesn't think their deaths are funny!

Vinai Thummalapally   April 7th, 2008 6:50 pm ET

Clinton's and Obama's positions on numerous issues is very similar.
Although Clinton has more experience, it appears that Obama will pull us out of this mess faster. look at how they have been running their respective campaigns. Clinton's campaign has been run poorly compared to Obama's. He may be new to natioanl politics, or younger or less experienced or… , but he is getting the job done. Most of Clinton's supporters are continuing to do so, in a big part due to loyalty. Evan Bayh is no different.

OregonVoter   April 7th, 2008 6:50 pm ET

Or perhaps "Steal" as in steal the election.

TO: Wayne   April 7th, 2008 6:50 pm ET

That's fine; can we just count the votes? Why can we finish this so that we can move on to the national election with a legitimate candidate? What are you afraid, that Hillary is so powerful she will overturn the election? You people are ridiculous.

Why instead of whining you call your Senators and Congress person and request comprehensive 21th century election reform… Let’s make sense of our elections.

Judy Smith   April 7th, 2008 6:50 pm ET

Mr. Bayh is part of that old Washington buddy group that goes way back to his father Birch. Its just more of the same old I'll scratch your back if you scratch mine. I am very disappointed at CNN's coverage and bending over backwards for Hilary. And why aren't any of you talking about McCain and his strange silence aqnd LACK OF SUPPORT for the GI Bill legislation and help for the Iraq war vets? He made a speech today to a VFW group and NEVER MENTIONED IT.

Doug, Florida   April 7th, 2008 6:49 pm ET

Now that's original. Clinton go away

OBAMA 08

Brad   April 7th, 2008 6:49 pm ET

When will Senator Obama start speaking the truth. Not for the war, ( wasn't even able to vote for it anyway ) $350,000.00 windfall on his house that he bought from someone who is on trail, ( stupid in his part , yeah! ) , also picks up extra property next door for a steal , ( stupid again ) . Poor record in the Sen. in IL. ( lack of exper. ) Poor record in the U.S. Senate ( lack of exper.) Racist church for 20 yrs. ( lied ) he was there and he knows it. Ungrateful wife of her country ( let her find another, Africa). Hillary was not pushing for NAFTA and you Obama idiots know that . She was there and so where others who said she was trying to change many aspects of this bill. When someone from the Canadian Gov. writes that he was in a meeting with a Obama Rep. and this NAFTA issue is a wink,wink that is a lot more damaging than Hillary spokesman going behind her back and doing something she didn't approve of . Lets see the paper trail on Hillary. If anything it should be a wash, I'm sure Obama didn't approve or did he. Good call Sen. Bayh you are one of many Sen. and super-delegates who are voting for realality and not just smoke and mirrors.

Ok….it must be true. 2 nights in a row (this time) my comments have just disappeared, then if I try again, it says I already commented. There is no doubt this is pro-Obama/anti Clinton land! You guys should be ashamed for your blatant bias!

Zach, Bean Town   April 7th, 2008 6:46 pm ET

Too Funny! She had him say that she's gonna fix NAFTA? Do they think the American majority is that stupid to forget that her main man Penn has just been caught meeting about the free trade agreement and not in the supportive way to her so called "beliefs". He's still working for her, doing her bidding and telling her lies all over the place. Get rid of these people, Pennsylvania. I hope they are giving you as many headaches as they're giving me.

Steve   April 7th, 2008 6:43 pm ET

INDIANA IS OBAMA COUNTRY!!!

The truth   April 7th, 2008 6:43 pm ET

Will Americans throw Sen. Evan under the bus too!

Skipper   April 7th, 2008 6:41 pm ET

All votes counted, Clinton is only behind by .06%. She is ahead in the Electoral College 219 to 202. She'll take PA easily.

Don't go blaming her for staying in the race when it's so close. If the DNC didn't want the race to last so long, they ought to have a rule against primaries after March.

Obama was not at the State of the Black Union in New Orleans. Obama was not at the MLK Memorial in Memphis this past weekend. Is Obama taking the black vote for granted? Is Obama trying to distance himself from blacks in order to woo the white vote?

Hillary earned 109 million over 7 years and donated 40% to charity. Obama only donated 2% of his income to charity and most of that was to his racist church.

OK.. Obamabots… let me have it.

HILLARY '08.

rod   April 7th, 2008 6:40 pm ET

Obama uses the " ghost of a great name " [ Lucan ] MLK and RK to retrace one's steps in philosophy. Also uses immortal names still to come perhaps Rev. Wright, Bush, McCain, Clinton. Obama supporters vows to hear " Obama " from everyone's tongue, lips and mouth in America. Obama is the only person who can solve America's crisis!

KCBob   April 7th, 2008 6:39 pm ET

A Spine of steel and a mouth full of lies.

Joseph   April 7th, 2008 6:39 pm ET

I cannot belive Obama has not decisively taken this contest. Indiana should be Obama's but Clinton is leading in polls and is favored to win. If Clinton wins Indiana, comes close in North Carolina, Obama may be on shaky ground. I hate to say this, but if CLinton loses. McCain will win the election and Clinton can be positioned for 2012. There is no way she is going to actively support Obama and the Democrats after Dean's refusal to deal with Michigan and FLorida.
Obama will lose the general election. Obama's career will be finished. His "Change" argument will be reelected and expect Hillary to run on substance again in 2012.

Me   April 7th, 2008 6:36 pm ET

As an individual who has been blessed by this country and its people I can say without hesitation that I have no problem paying more taxes as a "rich" man if it means that it makes America stronger and life better for those who have not had all the opportunities as I have. I am a supporter for Obama however; if by some crazy miracle Hill gets the nomination then she has my vote. At least Obama and Hillary have policies that will help America and not dig its grave or suck the blood out of the average American family (if there is much left to take).

gnomepark   April 7th, 2008 6:34 pm ET

#1….I'm tired of hearing what will be done on Day #1

#2 Being from Indiana, Bayh…or at least his daddy Birch, wasn't really a "brilliant" statesman and not much should be made of what Junior has to say.

#3 I'd like to hear what Sen. Richard Lugar (R) has to say about Obama, since he has worked with him on may bills.

Terry   April 7th, 2008 6:34 pm ET

Clinton's record on family issues is definitely better than Obama. Democrats need fundraising, they call her, she always helps. She is around for a long time, so there's some dirt here and there for people to claim she is bad. My question to those who say Clinton lies: which politician doesn't lie? It's in their job description!

Just because Obama does things that get people, that doesn't make him a better person in charge. People just jump on Clinton for anything she does. Even when she released her tax return early, Obama supporters complained it was released too early. Releasing it late, they complain it is late. Obama claimed he didn't know about his pastor's GD America speech, then he made a speech about anger and hatred within 72 hours. I don't see his own supporters jumping on him about his denial. If their campaign is about honesty and openness, any lie he made should weigh more. At least Clinton didn't make the same claim. It is just those who are stupid to think politicians are clean! The cleaner the politician appears, you should be even more careful. This is not American Idol, you don't get to change your vote a week after.

Its 3 am..where's Bill?   April 7th, 2008 6:34 pm ET

Why bother w/ Indiana…April 22 and its all over baby!

Ralph   April 7th, 2008 6:34 pm ET

Hey, when you can only afford one ad, you might as well get it out there early.

Sean Deason   April 7th, 2008 6:33 pm ET

"She's got a spine of steel." Now we have the answer to the question that's been asked numerous times during this campaign. We now know exactly what's gotten up Hillary's butt!

Thomas in Florida   April 7th, 2008 6:31 pm ET

I agree with the poster above. Why is CNN reporting Hillary's first add in a state as news?

Should you give Obama equal coverage?

I realize that you guys want this thing protracted…but come on.

Maybe you guys are the Clinton News Network.

Greg   April 7th, 2008 6:30 pm ET

Think this clown is a little nervous?

Might want to start thinking about jumping ship at this point, else he risks his poltical future going the way of Hillary's recent gutter-ball performance.

billy   April 7th, 2008 6:29 pm ET

Bayh should seek help at Notre Dame for his lies about Clinton and NAFTA. Bayh you are subjecting yourself to the gutter ball that the Clintons are playing. You are showing no shame and the electorate will not forget it. These types of politics are coming to an end. The siding with a story teller (LIER) like the Clintons is going to ruin many politcal careers, I have this feeling.
The American voters are tired of the big money (Hollywood) movie people and all who will think they can sham their way to victory with stories about "ROCKY" and fictitious characters such as this.

Bayh is no different than Carville….Rendell….and others who play this loyalty to the Clintons before God and Country…….SHAME ON YOU!!!!!!!!!

JM   April 7th, 2008 6:28 pm ET

I agree she has a spine of steel. It take a spine of steel to stand up and laugh at the lies you tell Americans, to put out adds that scare single parents and the elderly, and refuse to take responsibility for your lack of honesty and ethics. Hillary Clinton steel spine or not is not someone that I want to see in the White House.

JT   April 7th, 2008 6:27 pm ET

Isn't NAFTA synomous with HILLARY?

Is the ad really saying, 'America faces challenging times. We need a leader who'll fight for good jobs, change trade deals like HILLARY'?

zina   April 7th, 2008 6:27 pm ET

It's a respectable ad. At least she isn't attacking Barack as usual.

Thanks, Sen. Clinton.

Obama '08

Hillary Gotta Go   April 7th, 2008 6:26 pm ET

Is Hillary still talking about NAFTA!? This woman is really stupid! She SUPPORTED nafta! Please run that ad so the folks in Indiana will remember the lies she told to the folks in Ohio and the American people!
God bless America

Vig   April 7th, 2008 6:26 pm ET

"She has a spine of steel". That's what we need in the White House, not Mr. Nice Guy who comes across as more professorial than presidential. He's still defending his patriotism! Go Hillary!!!!!!!!!!!

Pat   April 7th, 2008 6:25 pm ET

Hilliary is the best person running for the presidency.

If people thinks Obama is more qualified they should check out all the reports out there on him. He has lied about a lot of things. Somehow it is not all reported to the people. This is a shame because Senator Clinton always get the raw deal.

Pat   April 7th, 2008 6:24 pm ET

Sue from Ga.   April 7th, 2008 6:24 pm ET

I can't believe she is using NAFTA in her new ad! There is a new speech she is gving re: Iraq, and how she spoke out against it in 2005 before Barack Obama. #1: She voted for the war, Obama did not. #2 The news channels have already researched this claim and noted it was Obama who spoke out before she did in 2005. My God, how this woman lies, and tries to spin things. Beware Indiana! Don't let her fool you like she did Ohio!

Terry Frakes   April 7th, 2008 6:24 pm ET

You Obama supporters really are hard up. Im sorry about your luck on this. I used to support Obama, but there is so much more to come out of him, so i have decided to vote for Hillary or McCain depending on the nomination. We all know, that if all the truth had come out on Obama 4 months ago, there would be no way in H-LL, he would even be ahead in the pledged delegates, thats why, the superdelegates need to come together and pull this through, seeing now what Obama is really about, no experience, no real answers about his past, he is racist, hypocrite, liar and full of (well, you know where this going)!!!

uchujin   April 7th, 2008 6:22 pm ET

Apparently her head is made of steel too, the thickheaded, power-hungry witch. Give it up, its over for you.

Obama Supporter   April 7th, 2008 6:21 pm ET

Yuck.

Key West Sun   April 7th, 2008 6:21 pm ET

The Obama star is slowly starting to go dim, think to much is already known about his personal life, deals, church ties and bald face lies to reporters. Next 3 weeks it could get rough in the windy city.
On another note, this country is not a democracy, plz go to gov.org and read.
I have been trying to read the Dem's rule book on how all this really works with the delegate , super or not, ….. I may be wrong on this,,,,but to me it looks like come convention time ,,,they can just vote for anybody they want, they are pledged but not locked to that pledge.
If nothing else come from this convention, they need to rewrite how we do things,
Oh and go figure, they have votes on the rules before they elect anyone, so hey, maybe Edwards could get back in ..

dEMABRAT   April 7th, 2008 6:18 pm ET

Okay McDugan, How long have you known Sen. Clinton???? Perhaps he can make a better judgment? Perhaps the people that know her don't see her in the very tainted giuse of the media?

OlvrWhit   April 7th, 2008 6:17 pm ET

Do you people who comment on Mark Penn know what his role was in the campaign. He was a pollster….big freakin deal.. He is gone..Good. As a Hillary supporter I never liked his approach anyway. But, this has nothing to do with Clinton, there is no scandal. Just something else for you lazy, headline reading people to gripe about. You call her a liar, when at this hour the man who told her the hospital story has verified that story as true.
You knock her wealth, but do not praise the fact that she has given more to chairty than most and could have used more tax loopholes to pay less taxes. You knock the Clinton Foundation, without acknowledging the fact that Bill Clinton's efforts have saved MILLIONs of lives. I think those lives are worth a lot more than this constant referance to Monica and the Clinton "lies". You haters can not say anything good about the Clintons when proof exist that their work has benefited millions at home and all over the world.

Remember what your momma said.."if you can't say anything nice…don't say anything at all".. This would be a welcome change for most of you.

FACTS once again show that the Clinton's both have done wonderful things for people across this planet and that should not be lost in this hate engaged electrate.

I will support Hillary all the way to the convention. let the fight begin.

Mike   April 7th, 2008 6:17 pm ET

We will see if Obama double-deals NAFTA again in Canada like he did in Ohio.

Hillary as first lady and senator has threatened to kill NAFTA because it hurts healthcare.

Mk   April 7th, 2008 6:16 pm ET

Steel? Perhaps …but she isn't very honest
Why isn't CNN telling this story?

Demoted Hillary Clinton strategist Mark Penn may no longer have the coveted title of chief strategist, but he remains a key member of the campaign's senior staff. Indeed, it is not clear precisely what Mr. Penn's demotion entails, other than a public rebuke."

"Mr. Penn took part on the campaign's morning message call this morning, as usual. This afternoon, he is also scheduled to be on a call with Clinton and other aides to begin to prepare for Saturday's presidential debate in Philadelphia. Mr. Penn 'is still going to be very much involved,' a senior campaign official said."

Alexis   April 7th, 2008 6:16 pm ET

What we don't need is a leader named Billary who is basically bribing American voters. She is the wrong leader for America.

to walk away.

jps   April 7th, 2008 6:11 pm ET

she will stay in the race until her campaign can pay her back the money she loaned it…and the way she's going, she might still be campaigning for the Nomination in December even after Obama has won.

Jay Shah Chicago, IL   April 7th, 2008 6:11 pm ET

Why are these politicians speaking out for Clinton…don't they realize that Obama has an insurmountable lead in pledged delegates, the popular vote and is outraising her 2 to 1.

kathleen   April 7th, 2008 6:11 pm ET

I am not sure about Bayh record, but this sounds like a pack of lies
to me.

john williams san diego, ca.   April 7th, 2008 6:11 pm ET

Fools for Hillary…her only chance for the nomination is to promise all remaining elected officials in states that are still voting in nomination process a cabinet position….like they would BELIEVE anything she says…..get ready for the tears …

Allen in NC   April 7th, 2008 6:11 pm ET

Ok… I've got to say that I do have a little knowledge of Indiana although I live in NC. My wife is from anderson IN, And I'm here to tell you that during my time that I spent there that, there are no jobs. Only building after building of closed down factorys, Factorys that use to have american people working and making thier livings there. Jobs that provided food, shelter for thousands of families. Jobs and abandoned factorys, That with bill clintons signiture sent them away to other countries. What are these people doing to make a living now? theres no jobs. Then we turn on the news and low and behold the clintons head stratigist is in columbia taking away more american jobs. This is the same person thats so much against NAFTA, But yet she has one of NAFTAS top guys running her campaign…. I, Being a blogger here and I see what she did to get Ohio's votes, They did not like being lied to….. Don't let her decieve you to INDIANA.

Tex   April 7th, 2008 6:10 pm ET

The Penn scandal and the revelation the Clintons made $110 million in seven years has to make her supporters and/or independents wondering about Hillary's honesty and character. She is going down for the count like Rocky.

Clinton Campaign in trouble   April 7th, 2008 6:10 pm ET

After her campaigns lead strategist has to take a lesser roll in her campaign because he was in Columbia promoting NAFTA it may not be good for her to mention it in an add. If the way she has been running her campaign is any indication of how she would run the country we should be very careful in considering her bid for the white house.

dem08   April 7th, 2008 6:08 pm ET

Voters are looking at the differences between Hillary and the other so call candidate. It's true that we need to hire the one best to do the job for our country. Hillary would start right away and get to work for us. She has the experience by seeing how her husband worked on issues when he was president. Whereas the other so call candidate, would take some time to get things done, because he would have to learn as he goes. How things are going on in our economy, I want to hire the one that is ready to start to work for me right away. Nothing but common sense. Hillary has my vote!

Dan   April 7th, 2008 6:07 pm ET

She and her husband pushed NAFTA through. Do the Clintons think that Indiana folks are as short sighted as Ohio. How she convinced Ohio that she didn't agree with NAFTA was mind blowing. No wonder everyone is out of work in Ohio. Hey Hillary supporters, I have some beach front property for sell in Nevada!

mehrnoosh   April 7th, 2008 6:07 pm ET

It's unbelievable that after Mark Penn scandal Hillary is still talking about NAFTA in her ad.

Maxine   April 7th, 2008 6:06 pm ET

Hillary and NAFTA…go back and do your research people. Bill signed that piece of paper like it was $109 million or more.

Hillary worked on the board for Wal-Mart….who is the BIGGEST importer with China?

Realistic   April 7th, 2008 6:05 pm ET

NAFTA? Since Hillary's own appointment book clearly demonstrates that she hosted and lead several events aimed at both promoting NAFTA and also suppressing labor opposition to NAFTA, that is a quite curious claim. But I guess it is no different to her stance opposing free trade with Colombia while her chief strategic advisor secretly favored it.

The "Commander in Chief from Day 1″ stuff rings pretty funny these days after the Bosnia "dodging sniper fire" fiasco. A political advertisement that says "Ready to Tell Fibs On Day 1″ would be closer to reality.

Sante   April 7th, 2008 6:05 pm ET

HILLARY OR McCANE

MR   April 7th, 2008 6:05 pm ET

Are yo kidding me?

It's 3 a.m. and your campaign is imploding.
What do you do?
* quick accuse Obama or his surrogates of some absurd, made up crime
* BOYCOTT OLYMPICS
* PRETEND TO FIRE YOU CHIEF STRATEGIST, BUT KEEP EVERYTHING ON HIS DESK, BECAUSE HE'LL RETURN LATER
* ACCUSE OBAMA AGAIN, IN CASE EVERYONE FORGETS
* CHALLENGE HIM TO A BOWL OFF
* SEND BILL OUT TO THREATEN SUPER DELEGATES
* ACCUSE MICHELLE OBAMA OF SOMETHING
* LIE ABOUT AN EARLIER LIE YOU WERE BUSTED ON
* PAY OFF THE MEDIA TO SUPPRESS THE STORY
* CLAIM YOU HAVE WON ALL THE STATES THAT MATTER
* CLAIM YOU WON THE ELECTORAL STATES
* BLAME OBAMA'S ENTIRE FAMILY OF SOMETHING
* LOOK FOR BILL, TO RESCUE YOU
* START CRYING
I AM EXHAUSTED JUST THINKING ABOUT IT

obamamama   April 7th, 2008 6:05 pm ET

I will never vote for anyone that sat quietly with his young children while their pastor rant and rave against America and the very people that he wants to lead.Hillary,McCain or no one.

MP   April 7th, 2008 6:05 pm ET

Its true in states that Nafta works, Clinton is all for it. You didn't see her speak out against nafta in Texas did you?

Cecelia Gray   April 7th, 2008 6:05 pm ET

I have always had great support and admiration for Senator Clinton. She is smart and a formidable opponent. The way she has ran her campaign similar to George W. either she's aware of what is going on around her (like Bush) or all this campaigning has made her erractic. I know she has to better than this campaign. She has to get on top of what is going on in her camp. CAFTA, Mark Penn, Her bowling on Ellen, the Judas comment, Her Rev. Wright comments and her husband has totally lost his bearings. What ever is going on I hope she soon get it fixed.

SBvoter   April 7th, 2008 6:04 pm ET

Obviously HIllary's ads are better than Obamas.
Go! Hillary..let him spend all his money and still not win.

Mary in Oklahoma   April 7th, 2008 6:03 pm ET

Good for Hillary. She is the only candidate who truly cares for the average American family. Senator McCain is just another George Bush who got us into this mess in the first place and Senator Obama is doing this for his own political gain. He did nothing to help the people of South Chicago and will do nothing to help the rest of America.
Senator Hillary Clinton is the only viable candidate who is capable of putting things right for America.

Women 4 Obama   April 7th, 2008 6:03 pm ET

This is another example of a politician "returning the favor".

The majority of Hillary's endorsement are from people who "owe them". That is why they were so upset with Bill Richardson.

MP   April 7th, 2008 6:02 pm ET

Does she really think the Nafta thing will work again? She lied the first time to Ohio. Her record shows she supported Nafta while being first lady. She gives a "shame on you" speech about mailings that were correct. Ireland, lied…Bosnia, Lied….Nafta, lied……Cafta, lied,…..Hospital, lied, Indiana, she is in the process of lying. Her supporters can't believe the fact she lies so much. They are so disappointed. All they bring up about Obama is his pastor. You mean the Pastor that meant Bill at the Whitehouse? You mean the pastor that Hillary's own pastor calls a great man? They hate that fact that a woman is destroying herself and they are blaming everyone for it.

Mel   April 7th, 2008 6:02 pm ET

I just threw up in my mouth.

Wayne   April 7th, 2008 6:01 pm ET

Before each candidate is becomes a president of the U.S. they have to be president of THEIR CAMPAIGNS. Think of it like this. BOTH Hillary AND McCain's campaigns have been broke or in financial trouble. Both of their campaigns fired very high ranking members of their staff.

Obama is the only remaining candidate who managed his finances well, who got millions of average people involved in his campaign and did not take money from Fed. Lobbyists or PACs. They way they run their campaign is indicitive of how they will run the white house. OBSERVE> Obama is the obvious choice.

JOE   April 7th, 2008 6:01 pm ET

The Obama over zealous Obama supporters need to realize that this race is not over. Neither Obama or Clinton can win enough pledged delegates to win the nomination outright. Florida and Michigan delegates will be seated at the convention and once the superdelegates realize that Hillary is the most electable of the two in November, she will win the nomination. I do believe that both campaigns have made mistakes, but Obama is the only one that had a racist and America hating minister advising him for the last 20 years. The End! Go Hillary!

Peter   April 7th, 2008 6:00 pm ET

Hillary will "fight for our jobs, our troops, and the America we love." She is "strong" and "seasoned."

Barack could not even get through the 20 debates without glancing over at Hillary and waiting to hear what she had to say before he decided what he was going to say.

Perhaps if he does get the nomination he will have to name her as his vice presidential candidate. Who else will tell him what to do?

Shane   April 7th, 2008 6:00 pm ET

Sen.Bayh is absolutely right. We need Hillary to bring the economy back on track. Obama will be on probationary for a year. By the time we will be gone further down into the ditch.

Jack Hicks, Fort Myers   April 7th, 2008 6:00 pm ET

We've know her for 20 years too…and don't know which whiff of thin air you pulled the executive potential from!!

Bye, bye Bayh. Your crediblity has fallend to an all time low. Perhaps the voters of your state will now vote you off the gravy train and put someone in who is more interested in creating jobs and security than increasing welfare roles.

Give us a break   April 7th, 2008 5:59 pm ET

I guess she got that spine of steel when that sniper hit her and she spent all that time in a military hospital where she learned about the bad treatment of our veterns. What a crock of SH**. I have friend who were military aids in the clinton whitehouse and she wanted nothing to do with them. She only spoke to them negitively. What a Commander in Chief. I have said this before in this forum…"As a 22 year military vet and one who fought in the clinton conflicts, I would follow her into battle only out of morbid curiosity to see who shot her first. The enemy or our troops. Catch a clue America and see her for what she is…A BIG FAT LIAR, just like her husband. I can say that now that I am retired.

Mary   April 7th, 2008 5:59 pm ET

BAD TIMING HILLARY!!!

Hillary, you are in it deep with the trade scandals!!! You will just remind all of Indiana……

NAFTA, COLUMBIA, TAX RETURNS!!!!

You didn't fire Mark Penn!!!
You didn't fire Carville!!!
You didn't fire G. Ferrara!!!
You have NO CONTROL over Bull Clinton!!!

What kind of leader are you Hillary?

The Austrian   April 7th, 2008 5:59 pm ET

IF SHE KNEW, HOW COULD SHE NOT THINK HIS EMPLOYMENT AND CURRENT INVOLVEMENT IS A CONFLICT OF INTEREST?

WE DESERVE ANSWERS!!!!!!

WHY HASN'T THE MEDIA ASKED HER DIRECTLY ABOUT THESE ISSUES? WHAT ARE THEY WAITING ON?

Sean   April 7th, 2008 5:57 pm ET

Lucretia Mott- a women"s rights activist, once said "The world has never yet seen a truly great and virtuous nation, because in the degradation of women".
Hillary is a great leader, seasoned, strong, and come November the world will see a truly great and virtuous nation with our next president Hillary Clinton a truly great woman.

George, Los Angeles   April 7th, 2008 5:55 pm ET

Great job Senator Bayh! Go Hillary!

sasha kando   April 7th, 2008 5:55 pm ET

Mr. Bayh, yes, fight for our workers on one hand and support NAFTA on the other. How can you trust someone who speaks out of more sides of her mouth than even Cheney? So many misjudgements so far in her campaign, and how do you expect one to run a country and more when her campaign has been falling apart. If we all use better judgement than Hillary, we would have been in better shape.

Dan , TX   April 7th, 2008 5:52 pm ET

Clinton is a strong, competent, leader. However, I will vote for Obama because, like Clinton, he is a strong leader, with good ideas, who understands the importance of transparency in government, understands the importance of being able to disagree without being disagreeable, and knows how to use technology to rally people and to reduce waste, fraud, and abuse. He raised a lot of money, but he also didn't waste a lot of money. I'm convinced he'll run the country like he's run his campaign - brilliantly.

Angus McDugan   April 7th, 2008 5:50 pm ET

This man's judement is in question if he still supports Hillary after admitting knowing her for 20 years. It shoudl not take that long to figure her out.

bernice   April 7th, 2008 5:50 pm ET

Come one now…She can't even run a campaign, much less run our country.
Hillary didn't have the judgement to first of all not put Penn as her head strategist and then to continue to keep him on regardless of his performance. And just like her to run to the plane, feigning that she couldn't hear questions. She's just smiling and smiling her way through the lies.
Can you imagine if she were elected president? Other countries, much less us Americans, wouldn't know when she is telling the truth or not.

People of Indiana. If you make over $100,000 per year, you are considered "RICH" under Clinton's definition of who should shoulder the tax increase that she is proposing.

This is the same for Obama.

You have been warned.

Must be that spine of steel that saved her from all the sniper fire. And I guess setting up free trade with Columbia counts as changing trade deals like NAFTA.

Love Evan Bayh, but why would he cut a spot for Senator Clinton that mentions NAFTA. Is he really going to help her pull the wool over people's eyes like she did in Ohio. Senator Clinton strongly supported NAFTA in during her husband's administration and nothing has changed. You didn't see her tank NAFTA when campaigning in Texas (where they have benefited from the agreement). She's only against NAFTA when she's in states like Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Indiana. It is somewhat like the war in Iraq. She's against it NOW.

Senator Obama is right. We need a President who will get things right on Day One, and that is not what we see out of Senator Clinton or Senator McCain.

Senator Bayh, I know she's your friend but still — you need to maintain your own dignity in this debate.

Why didn't we get an announcement like this when Obama ran adds in In??? You guys at CNN really need to let this go. Hillary has lost and need to work on uniting the party…

This is one time being married to an ex-president will not benefit you much!!!

2 reasons why this race is OVER.

1. Super Delegates will NOT over turn the leader in pledged delegates.

2. Hillary must win the last 10 remaining states by an average margin of 20% (much like how Obama won 11 straight in Feb. by a margin of 33%). The first state she loses, or the first state she wins by anything less than 20% SHOULD spell the end of this race if the media is being honest about the state of this race.

Evan Byah is well respected in Indiana. He was the governor for 2 terms and has been reelected to the Senate.
The name of the ad is so true. Steel. Hillary will provide the leadership that this country needs and will not bend when the pressure gets tough.
Hillary will do very well in the up coming primaries and probably will win the popular vote in the end/

Too bad Hillary has ties to Mark Penn and anti-US trade deals.

Penn was demoted, but is still taking part in Hillary's conference calls and strategy meetings.

He's been paid over $8 million dollars by Hillary's campaign. Penn's clients have been contributing heavily to Hillary's election fund.

. . . .Hillary Clinton should not have an ad with the word NAFTA in it.
It will only be seen as another lie. She should realize that NAFTA is
stuck to her like a ball and chain.
