Hillary Clinton Speaks in Ohio, Ignores Wisconsin Loss

| | Comments (0)

New York Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton brushed past her defeat by Illinois Sen. Barack Obama in today's Wisconsin primary, addressing an enthusiastic audience in Youngstown, Ohio -- in a state holding a key March 4 primary -- with a speech that made her familiar claims of being more experienced and better suited to be president than Obama.

"I want to talk to you about the choice you have in this election and why that choice matters," Clinton said. "It is about picking a president that relies not just on words but on work and hard work to get America back."

"We can't just have speeches. We've got to have solutions. And we need those solutions for America," she added.

"They need a president ready on day one to be commander-in-chief, ready to manage the economy and ready to beat the Republicans in November. With your help I will be that president," Clinton stated later in her speech. "One of us is ready to commander-in-chief in dangerous world."
