About 20 people attended the Tuesday event, the national kickoff for Hillarynow.com, a grass-roots group pushing to draft the New York senator and former first lady to run for president in 2008. "I've been fired up about her for a long time," said Mary Sneed, 64, of Pegram. "I think she can get things done. I admire what she's done in upstate New York. If she can win over New Yorkers, she can win over anybody." Organizers hoped to have 200 people at the event in Nashville, a city selected to show that Democrats can win in Southern states. They were disappointed but said they are not focused on numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I admire what she's done in upstate New York. If she can win over New Yorkers, she can win over anybody." I'd bet dollars to donuts that 'Mary' hasn't a gorram clue as to what Hillary's done in upstate New York. She admires what she's done, eh? What, run basically unopposed for the Senate seat held by another Dem? Organizers hoped to have 200 people at the event in Nashville....but said they are not focused on numbers.
