CLINTON: Clinton backers Chuck Schumer, Dianne Feinstein, Maria Cantwell, Bob Menendez, and Sheila Jackson Lee hold a conference reporters with reporters to discuss, as the campaign puts it, Clinton’s “momentum coming out of New Hampshire.”
Maureen Dowd’s latest column is entitled, “Can Hillary Cry Her Way Back to the White House.” From the piece, “There was a poignancy about the moment, seeing Hillary crack with exhaustion from decades of yearning to be the principal rather than the plus-one. But there was a whiff of Nixonian self-pity about her choking up. What was moving her so deeply was her recognition that the country was failing to grasp how much it needs her… At her victory party, Hillary was like the heroine of a Lifetime movie, a woman in peril who manages to triumph. Saying that her heart was full, she sounded the feminist anthem: ‘I found my own voice.’”
What will Bill Clinton's role be going forward? The New York Post notes that before Hillary's win, Bill went "ballistic." "The very hoarse former president - who has repeatedly gone off-message and infuriated his wife's campaign - complained that Obama has gotten a free ride from the media as he has been 'trumpeting his superior judgment and how he had been against the war every year. ‘Give me a break,’ he added. ‘This whole thing is the biggest fairy tale I've ever seen.’”
OBAMA: Nevada SEIU has endorsed Obama.
