Hillary Strong Like an Ox (Rep. Hilda Solis)

I watched the presidential debate last night as candidate after candidate tried to make Senator Clinton falter. It didn’t work. The American public saw right through the attacks and what they saw was a person who can stand strong and come out ahead under any circumstances. That person is Senator Clinton.

Once again, Senator Clinton proved last night that she has the strength and experience to lead the Democratic Party and the nation. On every critical issue, from Iran to Iraq to Social Security, Hillary made her case. Rather than attack her fellow Democrats, she went after the real target in this election: Republicans and the Bush Administration.

There is no denying the fact: Senator Clinton is one strong woman.
