FORMER FIRST LADY VOWS TO MAKE NECESSARY ADJUSTMENTS, MOVE FORWARD WITH DEMOCRATIC PROCESS
PORTSMOUTH, New Hampshire - After a grueling New Hampshire primary that battered Hillary Clinton, once thought to be unbeatable, the defiant former first lady vowed to make the necessary adjustments and move forward with the democratic process of selecting a nominee for president.
Senator Clinton met with reporters on her campaign bus. She was joined by the two newest additions to her campaign team, former Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Bill Cowher and current Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin.
“We didn’t execute as well as we should have on election day, that’s the bottom line,” said Clinton. “That takes nothing away from Senator Obama, because he’s a tremendous candidate. But we’ve got to get better. I’ll answer any questions.”
Long-time Washington Post political correspondent David Broder began his question with the words “what if” when Clinton cut him off. “We don’t play the ‘what if’ game,” she said. “There’s a fine line in this business between winning the nomination, and dealing with a bunch of no-talent hacks in Albany.” She added that she welcomed the challenges the primary season brings. “Adversity doesn’t build character,” she said. “It reveals character.”
The Senator said her team emerged from the bruising battle with Obama in good shape. “From an injury standpoint, nothing much to speak of.” She pronounced herself as probable for Super Tuesday. Before ending her remarks, the Senator paid tribute to the people of the granite state. “New Hampshire primary voters are something else. They really are the greatest primary voters in the world.”
