On October 11th of 2007, Senator Clinton was interviewed on The Exchange by New Hampshire Public Radio's Laura Knoy.
The Senator discussed issues pertaining to Health Care, Iran, and Michigan among other things. What stood out was the response on Michigan elections and the Senator's decision to keep her name on the ballot.
Quotes below the fold...
Of course I listened to most of the damned thing so you don't have to.. and on Michigan, and keeping her name on the ballot, the Senator said @ 23:13
I personally did not think it made any difference whether or not my name was on the ballot
Then added at @ 24:40
You know, it's clear this election they're having is not gonna count for anything
On electability and campaigning as the candidate of change @ 40:56
I never attack first. I wanna run a positive campaign. I have been laying out my policies. I've been talking about what I will do as president. But I will also not stand by and watch me or any other democrat attacked
and of course managed to come out against the politics of fear @ 41:20
We did it in 06 when, despite their best efforts to raise the fear card again, America didn't buy it. And we will do it again in 08
Five months later in a presidential campaign is ages ago. Oh how things change.
