Clinton: In my White House, I'll Wear the Pantsuits

Posted Feb 5, 08 4:50 AM CST in Arts & Living,  Politics 

(Newser) – Hillary Clinton showed off her lighter side in a Super Tuesday eve appearance on David Letterman, joking to the talk-show host that in her White House, "we'll know who wears the pantsuits." Clinton said she was hoarse from rooting for the Giants in a Minneapolis sports bar, and that she took heart from their last-minute victory.

A more serious Clinton talked about issues like home foreclosure and health care ahead of today's crucial vote. Clinton said her campaigning had been "exhausting and invigorating," and dodged a question about whether she'd consider Dem rival Barack Obama as a running mate. "It's really down to you and Regis," she quipped to Letterman.

    Fear of Lefty Obama Gets Bill Behind Mac If Bill Clinton seems to be sabotaging Barack Obama's campaign, it may not only be for Hillary's presumed 2012 run, but because he prefers John McCain, Roger Simon writes in Pajamas Media. Since "showing up" Obama with his convention speech, Clinton has been "lavishing praise" on McCain and defending his desire to delay tonight’s debate—perhaps because he “wants Obama to lose.” More »
