Mom and Carol and Bill Clinton!
Mom and I went to the Clubhouse at Leisure World this evening and listened to Bill Clinton campaign for Hillary. He was informative, well-spoken, and NO negative campaign message for an entire 45 minute presentation! We both came away from it feeling we'd heard a message and not just a bunch of "sound bites" suitable for newspaper print. As we were leaving, I was interviewed by a reporter for the New York Sun. I have no idea what that newspaper is but may check it out on line tomorrow, just for giggles. Carol

Carol - I think you were too young to be quoted! Here's what was in the New York Sun:
"At Mr. Clinton's last stop, residents at the Leisure World retirement community in Silver Spring gave him an enthusiastic ovation. Betty Conway, 83, said she had been a Republican since the Eisenhower administration but that she voted for Mr. Clinton twice and was eagerly anticipating casting her ballot for Mrs. Clinton. "He's too young," she said of Mr. Obama. "He doesn't have the experience." She also confided that she was unsure if she was ready for an African-American president.
She left the event with a friend Elaine Sirkis, 77, who was pulled in the opposite direction. "I'm with Obama. I'm with the young people," she said. Plus, she added: "I don't know that I'm ready for a woman."
