Hillary Clinton in northwest Ark. for first time since 2003
2006-07-16
ROGERS, Ark. -- Sen. Hillary Clinton, on a rare visit to her former Arkansas stomping grounds, reminisced about old times with state Democratic women and told their convention that America faces challenges including energy policy, stagnant wages and rising health-care costs.
... and, oh, yes: We're in the middle of a war...
The former first lady got an enthusiastic reception from about 650 women and men at a convention of the Arkansas Federation of Democratic Women, in a corner of the state considered a Republican stronghold. "I'm so happy to be here and to see so many friends and to see so many Democrats in Benton County," said Clinton, who also was first lady of Arkansas before husband Bill Clinton became president in 1993. The meeting at a convention center in Rogers was about 25 miles north of the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville where she first came to the state as a law professor in 1974. The crowd stood, cheered and waved red signs reading "Madam President, January 20 2009," alluding to calls for her to run for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2008. Clinton says she is focused on her bid for re-election to the U.S. Senate.

Vinny Gambini: Nothing. You stick out like a sore thumb around here.
Mona Lisa Vito: Me? What about you?
Vinny Gambini: I fit in better than you. At least I'm wearing cowboy boots.
Mona Lisa Vito: Oh yeah, you blend.
