The Hillary I Know (Video + New Website)

I joined Hillary's team in June of 2006. One of the things that struck me as soon as I came on board is the number of people whose lives have been directly touched by Hillary and the tremendous admiration and affection they express for her.

Today, our campaign is unveiling a new website that tells the stories of those who know Hillary best.

From Shannon Mallozzi, a mother and advocate for hydrocephalus research, to Marvin Bethea, a paramedic who suffered ill effects after helping at Ground Zero, to Pat Lile, an old friend who worked with Hillary on children's issues in Arkansas, these stories show a side of Hillary that many of you may not know.

I look forward to hearing your feedback on the new site.

Here's one of the 30+ videos on TheHillaryIKnow.com:

Hillary seems to be shooting for 3rd place in Iowa. She's got her people out there promoting John Edwards and attacking Barack Obama. She is so calculating. I understand that she wants to take the wind out of Obama's sail, but this plan just seems stupid. She's going to end up in 3rd place or worse. How does the inevitable candidate come in 3rd and survive? I don't get it. But that's her style. She can't just lay back and let things play out. She see's herself as the master manipulator and feels like she has to pounce on every little detail in the race.

No video of friends who lobbied Hillary to oppose the war?

I'd like to hear their thoughts on how they felt when she voted with Bush.

Hillary will be a suitable advisor to President Obama!

Fantastic website ! What a wonderful career Ms. Clinton has had helping hundreds of people. Her past good work is appreciated.

Her status as a moderate democrat, DLC supporter and corporate board member - combined with her abrasive style make her a candidate that is unlikely to win if she gets the democratic nomination. Many democrats and independents have a hard time supporting her. Very high negatives for any party to carry across the finish line in Nov.

Ironically she will be the candidate that empowers the Right to win the WH and complete their sweep of the Supreme Ct.
And how will that effect the lives of women, minorities and the poor?

You forgot the video of all the Iraqi women who thanks to Mrs. Clinton's support for the invasion & destruction of Iraq are now afraid to even go outside. The fear and trembling of these women many of whom were completely unafraid during Saddam's regime and even went to school and worked openly. Mrs. Clinton's compassion apparently does not extend to them. She has indeed touched their lives as you say.

Please--give us a break from the one who walks on water and is the only deserving candidate of the coronation of Clinton.She has no special entitlement to the nomination and no matter how you dress her up she is still Clinton.Enough already in defending her and being the surrogates for her character.I think it has been out there for a long time and the public is not as dense and stupid as the insiders and "leaders?" in DC think we are.
Her and her husband have done us all a service to be out there in full force again because it is a great reminder of what it will be like with them again.Hopefully we will dodge that scenario.Can she not answer a straight question without her surrogates?? The list is endless with her.
