Hillary Clinton Campaign Press Release - Clinton Continues Momentum At Campaign Events Across the Country
Continuing Hillary's momentum across the country, the Hillary Clinton for President Campaign held multiple events and conference calls across the country yesterday, featuring community leaders and elected officials highlighting their strong support for Hillary's candidacy.
Highlights from the stories include:
In Arkansas: Energized by Clinton's win in the New Hampshire Democratic primary over rival Barack Obama, her supporters rallied Wednesday at the New York senator's Arkansas campaign office in Little Rock. Rep. Marion Berry, D-Ark., told a crowd of about 60 people that it was important that Clinton win the Feb. 5 primary in the state where she served as first lady for 12 years... So far, that effort seems to have paid off. She won the endorsement of most of the state's top Democrats, including Gov. Mike Beebe and U.S. Sen. Mark Pryor. She also has raised the most of any presidential candidate in the state, including former Gov. Huckabee. - Arkansas Democrat Gazette

Mark Dayton, Minnesota House Speaker Margaret Kelliher and St. Paul Mayor Chris Coleman were just some of those who talked about why they think Clinton is the best candidate.

In Alabama: "Her ability to deal with the economy, her interest in agriculture, rural America ...
