WASHINGTON (Map, News) - Hillary Rodham Clinton will likely get a friendlier reception Wednesday at the Take Back America conference than she did last year.
"I don't think she'll say anything that will get her booed again," student Nicole Trudell of Ohio told The Examiner. "I think they'll have her speech tailored better, so that she'll say the things that she knows we want to hear. You know, the things that she believes, but that also this audience believes."
Last year, the junior senator from New York drew boos and hisses from the conference by saying it would not be "a smart strategy" to "set a date certain" for withdrawal of U.S. forces from Iraq. But on Tuesday, the Democrat told a labor forum that "if our president doesn't end our involvement in Iraq, when I am president, I will."
Such rhetoric has earned Clinton the support of Linda Scott, a retired accountant from Pennsylvania, who is attending the Take Back America conference.

"I believe Hillary Clinton's experience counts a great deal," Scott said. "I think some of the others maybe need to put in a little more time."
That was a veiled swipe at Democratic Sen. Barack Obama of Illinois, who addressed the conference on Tuesday. Yet there were plenty of others liberals at the conference who preferred Obama over Clinton.
"I don't think Hillary's electable," said psychologist Richard Miller of the District. "While I might agree with a lot of her positions, I think she'll bring out even more intense hatred than her husband did."

I really don't think The United States is ready for a woman Presdient. I say this even though I am a woman myself. I am in agreement with Mrs. Clinton's plan to remove troops as quickly as possible from Iraq, but thats about all I agree with. Most of everything else she has to say has already been said before with little to no action.
