The "Hillary for President" Bandwagon Gets a Flat Tire

Imagine planning a rally for Hillary Clinton, who is all but considered to be the Downies' candidate for President in 2008 - you book only 200 people, a small crowd, to rally for her and raise some money.

Problem no. 1: Only 20 people show up.

Problem no. 2: You are rallying for Hillary Clinton.

'Hillary for president' rally draws 20 instead of hoped-for 200

A Hillary Clinton rally drew critics of President Bush, nonpartisan voters looking for a strong leader, and people who want to elect a female president.

About 20 people attended the Tuesday event, the national kickoff for Hillarynow.com, a grass-roots group pushing to draft the New York senator and former first lady to run for president in 2008.

"I've been fired up about her for a long time," said Mary Sneed, 64, of Pegram. "I think she can get things done. I admire what she's done in upstate New York. If she can win over New Yorkers, she can win over anybody."

Organizers hoped to have 200 people at the event in Nashville, a city selected to show that Democrats can win in Southern states.

They were disappointed but said they are not focused on numbers.

"We can build something from this," said E. Gayle O'Hanlon, president of Enchanted Gingerbread, who cooked for and helped organize the fundraiser.


If you have a rally and only 20 people show up, all you can do is "build on it." You certainly can't get much of a worse turnout next time. Or you could hold a rally for John Kerry. Now that is depressing.
