Sen. Clinton: “This is Very Personal for Me. It’s Not Just Political”

HeadlineJan 08, 2008

On Monday, Hillary Clinton made headlines after she momentarily choked up with tear-filled eyes when discussing why she was running for president.

Sen. Clinton: “This is very personal for me. It’s not just political, it’s not just public. I see what’s happening. We have to reverse it. And some people think elections are a game. They think it’s who’s up and who’s down. It’s about our country, it’s about our kids’ futures. It’s really about all of us together. Some of us put ourselves out there and do this against some pretty difficult odds. And we do it, each one of us, because we care about our country. But some of us are right, and some of us are wrong, some of us are ready and some of us are not, some of us know what we will do on day one, and some of us haven’t really though that through enough.”
