ALBANY, N.Y. -- Democratic Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton is getting her bid for a second term under way with a sometimes emotional 18-minute video that features praise from her husband and even some New Yorkers who opposed her candidacy six years ago.
"I didn't vote for her. I think I will this next election," says Tim Damon, owner of Damon Rods in Potsdam, N.Y., whose company's Web site shows former President Bush with a Damon fishing rod.
The video, previewed for The Associated Press, will be shown Wednesday at the state Democratic convention in Buffalo as the former first lady and potential 2008 presidential candidate marks the start of her re-election campaign.
While there is plenty of praise for Clinton in the video, there is no mention of her past in the White House or 2008.
Ryan Moses, executive director of the state GOP, scoffed at the video. "Everyone enjoys a good fictional story or movie, but this has to be one of the all-time greats," he said...
Then there is a shot of Sen. Clinton, laughing. And then one of Bill Clinton, smiling.
"The so-called experts counted her out a lot of times," the former president says...
Some of the praise for Clinton fits into the gushing category.
"I think of Hillary as a lioness protecting children," proclaims Linda Fairstein, a former New York City prosecutor.

Gag me!
I think I am going to be sick
This deserves a barf alert! Our entire world is going to be sent to hell in a hand basket "for the children" if people like her get into power.
What a joke, doing a story about the canned one liners on a campaign ad.
Bump for later. This should be good. ;)
I see her more as a wolf - lying in wait for my child. Teeth bared, claws extended, fur ruffled, waiting to pounce.
Oh, on the contrary. Her "village" (cult) is not only devouring their flesh, but destroying their eternal souls as well. Satan himself must adore this woman.
Given her *pro-choice* views, I think of her more as a spider devouring her children.
I think you owe an apology to the lupine species for that comparison. Wolves may be dangerous, but should be respected.
If Bill Clinton had not been president she'd never have been elected in any state to the US Senate because nobody would of ever heard of her. Hillary is a phony and always has been. She's a construct of speech writers who without she'd just stand there and say "you know, you know, you know, you know". Her life is very "lucrative" because it's a life she could have never achieved on her own.
Hillary Clinton is not where she is because she's "the smartest woman in the world" it's because America has some of the dumbest voters in the world. Especially in the state of New York.
I think that Gennifer Flowers,Monica Lewinsky,Juanita Broderick,Webb Hubbell and Vince Foster have a rather different view,Miss Fairstein.
"I think of Hillary as a lioness stalking children," proclaims Tet68.
Okay, sorry to all of the lupine species who may read this and take offense.
I really see her as more of a skunk, but that just didn't sound right.
Never listen to what a politician says. It's futile. Always watch what they do.
Bill and Chelsea didn't just flee from this beast, they fled to a completely different continent to get away from her.
That's why he's smiling. He got away!
That's OK. As we get closer to 2008, that'll be taken care of. We won't let anyone forget.
ping.
And had the video contained only the truth, it would have taken 15 seconds - not 15 minutes.
what is in the water in N.Y.?
Sewage. It's a liberal state. The crap floats up from NYC.
Does she even have a challenger? How stupid are NYers?
Pray for W and Our Freedom Fighters
I am already throwing up.
"Hillary Clinton is not where she is because she's "the smartest woman in the world" it's because America has some of the dumbest voters in the world. Especially in the state of New York.
I believe it is because of the people who are behind her that put her in; not the voters. She is a front and that is all. No smart woman here; just one that will do anything to win. Anyone thinking clearly would know that this is woman definately not qualified to be President of the greatest country in the world. She is a con artist, thief, liar, cheat, scumbag and definately not the smartest woman in the world.
I wonder how they are going to dump her?
Linda Feinstein is an IDIOT!
Really? Who? When?
Some democrat melon head was on FOX this A.M. saying there's no reason why Hillary couldn't run this country at the same time Bill is running the U.N.
Unbelievable. They've get her as president and Bill as world leader all ready!
great turn of phrase, jla. ;)
on the way out... will check into it later... thx
thanx. :)
Actually, I may have heard it before so I won't assume coinage.
on the way out... will check into it later...
And my two other questions are just me being politely inquisitive.
thx
~sigh~
(Have a wonderful day, T. Potting phlox and Texas blue bonnet seeds here today, amongst other tasks)
Now I'm going to have Elton John singing "The Circle of Life" going through my mind all day. The Libbies crack me up. They are all nuts.
Just wait till she "offs" Bill sometime next year. The sympathy vote for the widow of recently deceased American Legacy Prezidintshal litre, will be massive.
Wow, she really inspires conviction doesn't she?
Well I guess we Arkansans are the Clintons' red-headed step children.
Come to think of it, so is Chelsea...
Will the democrats spit on police officer, color guard, and boy scouts like they did at the RAT convention in Albany in 2000?
I was extremely happy when that Afgan female M.D slapped her down and stated she couldn't keep her husband on a lease how would she govern effectively, of course there was no comment from the beast's office.
