Senator Hillary Clinton spent her morning at a small Las Vegas business, answering primarily health care and economy questions from working class Las Vegas residents.
"It's heartbreaking," she said about the foreclosure crisis. "These are people who get up every morning and working hard. And, frankly they were given some bad information."
Clinton pushed her health care initiative, calling on universal health care and opening up the same plan given to Congress to all Americans. She also called for increased attention to green energy.
A&B Printing has 45 employees. But they seemed dwarfed by the more than 100 media members crammed into the company's small offices on South Highland Drive.
The business is owned by partners Kathy Gillespie and Barbara Allen, who moved to the city about a decade ago from Upstate New York. Clinton said the women were an example of the American Dream and commended them for offering employee health care.
The candidate did not mention Senator Barack Obama by name.
"My leading opponent said he thought Republicans had better ideas than Democrats over the last 15 years," she said. "I think we know what needs to be done in American and we're ready to do it."
Clinton was going to spend the rest of the day in Elko and Reno before returning to Henderson for her final pre-caucus appearance, a rally at 8:30 p.m at Greenspun Junior High School.
Neither Obama nor Hillary are the candidate of hope and positive change. They are both starting to play dirty tricks. I truly believe that if one or the other were not in the race that John Edwards would be front runner. (I definitely plan to caucus for John Edwards.)
I can see that John Edwards is trying to get his message of positive change for America to the public, while trying to remain civil. It just does not seem to be resonating enough to get past the media preconceptions imprinted upon public opinion.
Wake up America. John Edwards is not the sleeper candidate. Most Americans are still asleep.
NO THIRD TERM!!
NO MORE BUSH NO MORE CLINTON, enuff already!
The claim that Obama's health care plan would leave uninsured 15 million people is false.
Obama's would leave uninsured 3% of the population, Clinton's 1%. Obama's plan is much cheaper.

Clinton did not answer how she will mandate people who still won't be able to buy healthcare.
off the Hillary Clinton web site - she lists Ronald Reagan as one of her favorite presidents (not to mention how she twisted what Obama actual said)

"But no president can do it alone. She must break recent tradition, cast cronyism aside and fill her cabinet with the best people, not only the best Democrats, but the best Republicans as well.. We’re confident she will do that. Her list of favorite presidents - Washington, Adams, Jefferson, Lincoln, both Roosevelts, Truman, George H.W. Bush and Reagan - demonstrates how she thinks. As expected, Bill Clinton was also included on the aforementioned list."
