DES MOINES REGISTER’S DAVID YEPSEN – ‘THAT’S WHY THE LADY IS THE CHAMP’: “The evening gave her rivals a chance to trip her up some more. They blew it.” [Des Moines Register, 11/16/07]
DES MOINES REGISTER’S DAVID YEPSEN – OBAMA ‘SEEMED FLUMMOXED…GOT BOOED’ AND ‘JOHN EDWARDS SHOULD HAVE STAYED HOME… HAD A POOR NIGHT.’ “They blew it. Barack Obama had only an average night, and on a couple of questions he seemed flummoxed… Moderator Wolf Blitzer underscored Obama’s fumbling by reminding him the question ‘is sort of available for a yes or no answer.’ By contrast, Clinton gave the answer she should have in the last debate: ‘No.’ Also, Obama got booed… John Edwards should have stayed home… Edwards also had a poor night because for the first time, the differences between his votes as a U.S. senator and his talk now came into clear focus. ” [Des Moines Register, 11/15/07]

As President, one of Hillary’s top priorities will be to responsibly manage our economic challenges in the face of deepening anxiety about our economic outlook. Most importantly, she will be ready to lead on economic issues on day one of her Presidency and will focus on rebuilding America’s middle class.
“The next president will be a steward of our economy at a time when the bills from eight years of neglect and mismanagement will be coming due. He – or she – will have to turn our nation and our economy around,” Hillary said.
