By Ned Helms, who co-chaired President Obama’s New Hampshire campaigns, is
a former state Democratic Party chairman and candidate for governor

October 8, 2014

With our first-in-the-nation presidential primary about 16 months away, it
seems there are plenty of potential candidates already coming to New
Hampshire to test the waters, most on the Republican side.

As a Democrat who cares deeply about the need for continued progressive
leadership in Washington, I have for the first time made the decision to
back a candidate even before that person has decided to run. I have done
that because I believe there is one Democrat who has the forward-looking
progressive ideas that the country and the world need during the
challenging times we will face in the coming years. That is why I am for
Hillary Clinton.

In 2008, I was an early supporter of President Obama, not because I was
opposed to Clinton, but because I thought the time was right for what Obama
had to offer. And today I feel the time is right for what Clinton has to
offer, and can do for our country.

As first lady, a U.S. senator and secretary of state, Clinton has spoken
out in the most forceful of terms for women’s rights as human rights. Her
courageous speech in Beijing as first lady enunciating that powerful ideal
has been backed again and again by her actions. When you have been a
champion for women to speak freely, attain an education, own property, have
equal chances for a full and rewarding life no matter where you are born in
the world, you are speaking for the future of a powerful and progressive
planet.

When you work as hard as Hillary has in promoting health insurance for
children through the CHIP program or for her own groundbreaking work in the
early years of the Clinton administration on universal coverage, you have
spoken volumes about your personal commitment to full health coverage. In
doing that, she, like Harry Truman and Lyndon Johnson, helped pave the way
for the breakthrough that occurred with the passage of the Affordable Care
Act of 2010. Millions in this country and tens of thousands in New
Hampshire now have health coverage thanks to that important law and the
decades of tireless work that laid the foundation for this principle of
progressive public policy.

Finally the body of work that Clinton supported to address disparity speaks
to her deep commitment to working and middle-class families. By championing
an increase in the minimum wage, her opposition to the Bush tax cuts of
2001 and 2003 and support of middle-class tax improvements, her opposition
to abusive lending practices, her work on reforming student loan programs
with a Student Borrower Bill of Rights and a host of other policies, she
has not only spoken to but worked on those policies that would move all our
citizens closer to realizing a full life for themselves and their families.

Is there more work to be done? Of course there is. There are many issues
and challenges that the next president will face when Obama’s term is over.
One thing I believe strongly is that if she decides to run, no one will
need to push Hillary Clinton to take actions that will be true to the
progressive traditions of the Democratic Party. She has lived that
tradition, and I have no doubt will continue to do so as president of the
United States.

*Politico: “House Dems make Clinton 2016 pitch”
<http://www.politico.com/story/2014/10/house-democrats-hillary-clinton-elections-2016-111712.html>*

By Edward-Isaac Dovere and Maggie Haberman

Do it for Hillary — that’s the message that Democratic operatives are
hoping will keep donors from giving up on House campaigns in the final
weeks before the election.

With even the most optimistic Democrats admitting that Republicans are
going to keep the House, the reason to stay engaged now, officials and
operatives are telling donors and activists, is to make it easier for
Hillary Clinton to come in with a majority should she win the White House.

The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee and the Democratic-aligned
House Majority PAC haven’t been alone in quietly making this argument to
major donors. The National Republican Congressional Committee has been
making a parallel case, urging their own donors not to take the GOP hold on
the majority for granted and stop donating because they’ll need to win as
many seats as they can this year to build a firewall against Clinton in
2016.

The only White House official other than Obama who’s ever appeared at a
House Majority PAC event is John Podesta, who, in addition to his current
role as senior White House counselor, is expected to have the top position
in Clinton’s presumptive campaign. Podesta met with a small group of labor
leaders Sept. 9 at Fiola in downtown D.C. to try to keep their checks
coming in for the fall.

The pitch isn’t just about holding on for 2016, when the national mood
might be better for Democrats, or when turnout’s likely to favor them in a
presidential year. And forget the part about Clinton announcing her
candidacy or needing to run a campaign or what might happen on election
night two years from now. Democrats are already preparing for her to take
charge of the White House.

“So many of our donors and our activists are really, really excited about
Hillary running for president,” said Ali Lapp, who runs the PAC. “The thing
we have to say to them is, ‘We are too, but let’s think about all the days
that follow the inauguration and what she’ll be able to do with a
Democratic House versus the Republican House we have now.’”

“It’s safe to say that there’s a lot of enthusiasm among Democrats around
the country for the prospect of a Hillary Clinton candidacy, and that
unquestionably factors into many donors’ decision making,” said DCCC
Chairman Rep. Steve Israel of New York.

Pitching forward to the next cycle is standard fare for a party that’s
trying to keep its base from getting depressed. But Clinton’s prospective
candidacy has made this a much easier sell.

A senior Democrat said that the party could mount a strong case in 2016
without Clinton but that it wouldn’t be nearly as effective. “It’s clear
that she’s so potent and demands the respect of the donor community around
the country.”

The argument appears to be working.

“They’ve raised a ton of money,” said one donor who’s dealt extensively
with House Majority PAC, describing the message as “Keep the flame alive.”

”They’re not gonna win a majority; they still need to hold onto what seats
they can and be competitive” heading into a presidential year, the donor
explained.

Obama’s name was on a DCCC fundraising email that went out Tuesday morning,
and he’ll chip in with more fundraising events and limited campaigning over
the remaining few weeks. But six years into Obama’s presidency and with a
tough political map, the energy and interest of donors is off the president
and very much on to Clinton.

But they’ve still got their eyes on a handful of this year’s candidates:
protecting a scattered few in otherwise strong blue territory in
California, New York and Illinois, as well as strong pick-up possibilities
like Gwen Graham in Florida and Andrew Romanoff in Colorado. Retiring Rep.
Frank Wolf (R-Va.) has been in his seat for 34 years — getting a Democrat
into that spot now, instead of trying to beat an incumbent in 2016, is the
kind of math that Democrats very much have on their minds.

“It’s easier to jump over a 5-foot pole vault bar than a 10-foot pole vault
bar,” said John Morgan, a major Florida donor who’s hosted a fundraiser and
helped direct soft money to Graham’s campaign. “If we lower the bar from
10-foot to 5-foot, it just makes it easier to clear 5 foot in 2016.”

Dennis Mehiel, a New York-based donor who has given heavily to House
Majority PAC, was adamant that the scenario for a good night this cycle is
there. But he also said a foundation is important for the future.

“We think we are going to surprise people with our results in the House on
election night,” Mehiel said. “Of equal importance is the fact that,
irrespective of the specific numbers this year, we know our efforts are
absolutely essential to winning a governing majority in the House in 2016,
which we believe we can do.”

Clinton’s been a very active part of Republican conversations about the
House, too, with the NRCC sending out emails and appealing to individual
donors not to move on from House races just because they’re likely to stay
in the majority. They’ll need as many seats as they can to hold off a
Clinton wave, they’re warning people in private, according to a Republican
aide.

Yet publicly, they knock Democrats for the strategy.

“After promising donors for months they would retake the House, it’s no
surprise they are desperately trying to downplay expectations and make
excuses for 2014. In 2016, Hillary Clinton and her hand-picked candidates
are still going to have to defend President Obama’s unpopular policies,”
said NRCC Chairman Rep. Greg Walden of Oregon.

But there’s no pretending about what’s ahead for the House. Even relentless
booster House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), at a news conference
last week about Democratic prospects, gave a measured, “I think we’ll do
OK.”

“Their days are numbered. I know that in two years there will be a
Democratic Congress and a Democratic president. I’d like it to be in two
months,” Pelosi said, then swatted away the suggestion that she was
conceding defeat for 2014. “This fall it’s important for us to come as
close to that as possible.”

That’s exactly the pitch the operatives are making on behalf of Pelosi and
her conference.

“There’s a sense that we’re getting in a starting position for 2016,” Lapp
said.

Islamic State militants are stronger and better-funded than al-Qaeda and
could pose a direct threat to the United States and other Western nations
if their advance is not stopped, former secretary of state Hillary Rodham
Clinton said Wednesday.

“It’s a serious threat because this is the best-funded, most professional,
expansionist jihadist military force that we have ever seen,” Clinton told
the Economic Club of Chicago. “This is far more advanced and far richer
than al-Qaeda ever was.”

The potential 2016 Democratic presidential candidate was in her home town
for a mix of business and politics. She combined a paid speech to
medical-device manufacturers with a campaign appearance for Illinois Gov.
Pat Quinn (D) and an evening question-and-

answer session with the Economic Club.

Democratic worries about Quinn’s tight race with Republican challenger
Bruce Rauner have also sent President Obama and first lady Michelle Obama
to the state over the past week.

The president was right to launch a political and military offensive
against the militants who have seized vast areas of Iraq and Syria and
beheaded American and British hostages, Clinton said. The group “will
attempt to launch attacks against Western targets if it has the ability to
do so,” she added.

She predicted “some kind of legislative action” when Congress returns after
the November election. Clinton, whose Senate vote in favor of military
action in Iraq haunted her 2008 presidential campaign, did not call for an
up-or-down congressional vote on what Obama has said is likely to be a long
military campaign against the militants.

Clinton covered a range of topics from economic development to
early-childhood education at the Economic Club event, where she was
questioned by Chicago billionaire venture capitalist J.B. Pritzker. The
Hyatt hotel heir is a longtime Democratic supporter and was national
co-chairman of Clinton’s losing 2008 campaign.

Pritzker appeared to be leading up to the presidential question as the
evening ended but drew laughs when he instead asked, “Cubs or Sox?”

For her part, Clinton joked that she had turned down Obama twice before
agreeing to his offer to become secretary of state and had also twice
turned down former president Bill Clinton’s marriage offer.

“I have a history with charismatic, attractive men,” Clinton said to
laughter. “They just wear me out.”

Earlier Wednesday, she skirted the issue of whether she would oppose
efforts to repeal a tax on medical devices under the Affordable Care Act.

A declared supporter of the law, she said she was “well aware” that the
group she was addressing, the Advanced Medical Technologies Association, is
seeking repeal, but she added that she did “not know what the right answer
is.”

“I think you have an argument to make,” Clinton told the medical- device
group. “I think it has to be made within the context of the larger set of
issues that have been raised by the ongoing implementation of the
Affordable Care Act.”

“I think we have to look to see what are the pluses and the minuses that
are embodied in a decision about either to remove, or alter, or continue
this particular piece of the Affordable Care Act,” Clinton said.

The tax is considered key to funding the signature Obama administration’s
health-care initiative.

Clinton’s overall message on the economy was sunny.

“We are on the cusp of another great economic era,” she told the medical
conference.

AdvaMed conference spokeswoman Lauren Belisle declined to comment on what
Clinton was paid for the appearance. Clinton’s office did not immediately
respond to the same question.

CHICAGO – Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton described the serious
threat posed by Islamic State in remarks hereWednesday, saying the group is
far more advanced and well-funded than al Qaeda ever was.

“This is the best funded, most professional, expansionist Jihadist military
force that we have seen ever,” she said.

Mrs. Clinton backed the strategies of the Obama administration in
confronting Islamic State, which is also known as ISIS or ISIL. She
described ISIL as not just a major risk to the stability of Middle East,
but likely to try attacks on Western targets if given the opportunity.

The remarks came during a friendly interview with Chicago investor and
philanthropist J.B. Pritzker who served as national co-chairman of the
former first lady’s 2008 presidential campaign. While touching on foreign
affairs, Mrs. Clinton also weaved in personal stories about her childhood
in the Chicago suburb of Park Ridge and her assessment of Congress.

At one point she talked of longing for the 1990s when GOP opponents went
after her and her husband President Bill Clinton, but were still
interesting in cutting deals. But her remarks steered cleared of the
mid-term elections and the challenges Democrats face with Mrs. Clinton only
painting a broad picture of the problems she sees with Republicans in
Congress.

“We have lost leaders on both sides of the aisle – particularly at this
point in our history on the other side of the aisle – who are more
interested in governing than in posturing,” she said.

While here, Mrs. Clinton made two others stops before the
question-and-answer session with Mr. Pritzker in front of the Economic Club
of Chicago. She spoke at a medical technology conference hosted by an
industry trade group and attended a fundraiser for Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn,
a Democrat, who’s in a close reelection fight against Republican challenger
Bruce Rauner.

There wasn’t any mention of a 2016 presidential run during the evening
event. Mrs. Clinton is seen as being months away from announcing whether
she will run, but is seen as the Democrat frontrunner if she decides to
enter the race.

The most probing question from Mr. Pritzker came at the end when he asked
about baseball. Cubs or White Sox? Mrs. Clinton answered Cubs.

Hillary Rodham Clinton, mulling a 2016 presidential run and back in her
native Chicago on Wednesday, said that ISIL represents a greater threat to
the U.S. than al-Qaida.

"ISIL is a serious threat because this is the best funded, most
professional, expansionist Jihadist military force that we have ever seen,”
Clinton told a packed Fairmont Hotel ballroom, speaking before the Economic
Club of Chicago.

"This is far more advanced and far richer that al-Qaida ever was. And it
now has established control over areas that straddle the border between
Iraq and Syria. In many ways this new entity, I refuse to call it the
Islamic State. It is neither Islamic nor a state and it should not be
referred to as such,” she said of the group also known as the Islamic
State, an “inheritor," she said, of al-Qaida.

ISIL poses a  threat, not only to the stability of Iraq and Syria, but also
to areas in Turkey "and it has a potential ripple effect far beyond," said
the former Secretary of State. "And there is no doubt in my mind that it
will attempt to launch attacks against Western targets if it has the
ability to do so,” she said.

 Clinton, who grew up in north suburban Park Ridge, was in Chicago for
multiple events.

Before appearing at the Economic Club, where she was interviewed by her
longtime friend J.B. Pritzker — the brother of Commerce Sec. Penny Pritzker
— she  raised $500,000 for Gov. Pat Quinn at a fundraiser at the law firm
of Power, Rogers and Smith at 70 W. Madison.

After that, Clinton and Quinn stopped for what essentially was a photo op
for Quinn at a nearby DePaul University bookstore in the Loop.

Earlier, Clinton delivered a paid talk at the at AdvaMed 2014, a medical
technology conference at McCormick Place.

Clinton during the Economic Club conversation was never asked a direct
question about her 2016 presidential plans. She did tell a story about two
influential men in her life - former President Bill Clinton and President
Barack Obama.

Obama offered his former Democratic primary rival the Secretary of State
job – in Chicago while he was president-elect and running the transition
from the city.  Clinton recounted how she turned down Obama several times
before accepting the cabinet post.  As for men she said no to, Clinton also
recalled to the delighted crowd, “I told my husband no, I wouldn’t get
married” but “I just gave in.

 “I have a history of charismatic attractive men who just wear me out."

Both were good decisions, Clinton added.

On Tuesday, first lady Michelle Obama headlined a get-out-the-vote rally
for Quinn and raised $300,000 for his campaign. And on last Thursday,
President Barack Obama raised more than $1 million for Quinn at a
fundraiser in Chicago.

Millennials appear to be ready for Hillary, a new poll shows.

According to a Fusion poll released Thursday, 58 percent of Democrats aged
18-34 — sometimes referred to as the millennial generation — support former
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton for the 2016 presidential nomination.
Vice President Joe Biden finished in a distant second with 13 percent and
Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren received 9 percent.

Among Republican voters, 16 percent would support House Budget Committee
Chairman and 2012 vice-presidential nominee Paul Ryan of Wisconsin, making
him the top vote-getter. Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush came in second with
11 percent, while Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul came in third with nine percent
and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and Texas Sen. Ted Cruz tied for fourth
with eight percent.

Clinton holds a 13-point lead over a generic Republican nominee in a
potential 2016 general election race, receiving 50 percent of the vote
compared with 37 percent for a GOP nominee. In the match-up, she holds an
11-point edge among independent voters and a 44-point advantage among
Hispanic voters.

The survey also reports that young voters will likely be turning out in far
stronger numbers for Democrats in the upcoming midterm elections.
Forty-seven percent of millennials say they are more likely to vote for the
Democratic candidates in the November elections, compared with 32 percent
who say they are more likely to vote for Republican candidates.

Democrats have a particularly strong edge among Hispanic voters — 60
percent saying they are likely to support Democratic candidates and 17
percent saying they are likely to support Republicans. Sixty-two percent of
Hispanic voters say the Democratic Party best represents their views on
immigration policy, compared with 17 percent who prefer the GOP on
immigration policy.

The survey was conducted September 12-24 with 1,200 likely voters aged
18-34. Interviews were conducted in English and Spanish, and the poll’s
margin for error is plus-or-minus 2.8 points.

*Fusion: “Half of young voters would back Hillary Clinton in 2016”
<http://fusion.net/story/20123/half-of-young-voters-would-back-hillary-clinton-in-2016/>*

By Jordan Fabian

October 9, 2014

If Hillary Clinton decides to run for president in 2016, she could find
herself on uncertain ground with young voters, according to a new Fusion
poll.

Just half of voters between the ages of 18 and 34 — 10 percent less than
those who supported President Obama in 2012 — say they would cast their
ballot for Clinton if she tops the next Democratic presidential ticket.
Meanwhile, one-third of voters say they would support the Republican
candidate and 17 percent said they don’t know who they would vote for, or
declined to answer.

The survey shows that just less than half of young voters are satisfied
with Obama’s presidency, and that could be rubbing off on Clinton.

“I think there may be a bit of Democratic fatigue,” said Fernand Amandi,
managing partner of Bendixen & Amandi International, which conducted the
poll for Fusion. The firm consulted for President Obama during the 2012
campaign. “Part of it may be dovetailing with the disappointment and the
president’s numbers.

Young voters have played an increasingly important role in presidential
elections. Between 2000 and 2008, voters under 30 were the fastest-growing
demographic of any age group. Participation, however, dipped in 2012.

Attracting a strong base of youth supporters has been critical to the
Democrats’ success in recent elections. In 2012, Obama won six of every 10
voters between the ages of 18 and 29, after winning 66 percent in 2008,
according to exit polls. By contrast — but perhaps more relevant to
Clinton’s situation — John Kerry won only 54 percent of young voters in his
unsuccessful 2004 campaign against George W. Bush.

It’s still more than two years from Election Day 2016, and voters’ opinions
are sure to shift as the campaign gets under way. But the Fusion poll shows
that Clinton has her work cut out for her with a young constituency whose
votes are still up for grabs.

Despite that, Amandi said that Clinton is “within range” to repeat Obama’s
performance with young voters in 2016.

“It’s too far out to read into this that she is in trouble with young
voters,” he said. “It’s still a 17-point lead and she is still within
striking distance to get 60, 65-plus percent.”

Clinton’s support among young voters varies widely along racial and gender
lines. Nearly three quarters (72 percent) of black voters and 63 percent of
Hispanic voters back Clinton, while only 41 percent of white voters support
her. Among women, Clinton outperforms a unidentified Republican opponent 54
to 29 percent, while while men split 45-36 percent in Clinton’s favor.

Despite her less-than-enthusiastic support, Clinton is still the favorite
in the Democratic field. Fifty-eight percent of young Democratic voters say
they would vote for Clinton if the primary was held today, while Vice
President Joe Biden would finish second, with 13 percent, according to the
poll.

Republicans have no clear frontrunner, with undecideds representing a
plurality, with 25 percent. Paul Ryan, the party’s former vice-presidential
candidate, tops the list with 16 percent support from young Republican
voters, while former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush is running second with 11
percent support. Sen. Rand Paul (Ky.), who has attempted to woo young
people, has only 9 percent support, the poll found.

Several other contenders are bunched together lower down the list,
including New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, and  Texas
Gov. Rick Perry, all tied with 8 percent. Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, once

*CNN: “Clinton waffles on Obamacare tax question”
<http://www.cnn.com/2014/10/08/politics/clinton-obamacare-tax-problem/>*

Hillary Clinton may be creating a problem for herself.

In over a year on the paid speaking circuit, Clinton has addressed
recyclers, bankers, doctors, environmentalists, a fair share of Canadians
and a number of other diverse groups. Her paid speeches have one thing in
common: They are regularly to corporate or trade groups that disagree with
Clinton -- or her former colleagues in the Obama administration -- on key
issues such as health care, environmental policy or taxes.

While it would be impossible for Clinton to only speak to groups that agree
with her on everything, speaking to organizations that openly disagree with
Democrats on certain issues has proven problematic for Clinton. The
appearances open the former secretary of state up to attacks from
Republicans and create situations where she appears evasive.

That was the case again Wednesday when Clinton gave the keynote luncheon
talk at AdvaMed 2014, the annual conference run by the medical device
industry. One of the group's top issues is getting rid of Obamacare's
medical device tax, a cause Wanda Moebius, the group's spokeswoman, called
their "premier issue."

Clinton, the prohibitive favorite for her Democrats' presidential
nomination in 2016, was less than committal about the issue on Wednesday,
though.

She didn't mention the tax by name during her prepared remarks and offered
little indication one way or another what she would do about the issue when
Stephen Ubl, the association's president, asked her about it during a
question and answer session.

"I don't know what the right answer about the tax is," Clinton said, "but I
think we could, taking a look at everything and not standing there with out
arms folding staring at each other across the partisan divide, begin to
sort it out."

Clinton seemed to play both sides of the issue, acknowledging the United
States needs to look at "the pluses and the minuses" of the law, but also
stating that she thinks medical device companies "have an argument to make"
against the tax.

The medical device tax is a 2.3% excise tax created in part to fund
Obamacare; it went into effect at the beginning of 2013. The tax, which is
a large component in funding Obamacare, is unpopular with Democrats and
Republicans alike, especially those with ties to the medical devices
industry.

Clinton heralded a number of Obamacare accomplishments during her speech --
something she regularly does -- but acknowledged that the law is adversely
impacting some groups and needs to be altered.

"I am well aware there are still a lot of questions that need to be
answered and changes that are going to be proposed and evaluated because
clearly there is more work to be done," Clinton said. "And your industry is
bearing some of the burden alongside other stake holders."

She later added, though, "But you are also, in my view, positioned to reap
the benefits of those millions of newly insured consumers using... medical
devices."

The response to Clinton's speech was polite, but far from excited. There
were no applause lines during the speech and some attendees left the room
before she was finished.

Republicans quickly jumped on Clinton for her answer on Wednesday. They
blasted the video out to reporters shortly after the event and issued a
statement earlier in the day that questioned whether Clinton's speaking at
the conference puts her at odds with the Obama administration.

This is not the first time, either, Clinton has put herself in this
position. Clinton appeared before a group opposed to Obamacare in 2013 and
has regularly appeared before Canadian audiences that very much support the
Keystone XL pipeline.

During a handful of visits to Canada this year, the former secretary of
state has refused to definitively answer questions about the
1,179-mile-long project that would move oil from Canada to refineries in
the United States.

"Well, you know, I cant really talk about it because I was in the office
that has primary responsibility for making the decision," Clinton said
earlier in the week during an appearance in Ottawa. "I don't want to inject
myself into what is a continuing process."

This answer is similar to what she said during a June even in Toronto, when
Clinton planted herself squarely in the middle of the issue, telling an
audience that "these are people making arguments in good faith," despite
the fact that both sides "may have some facts and not others."

[Subtitle:] Republicans and industry have targeted an excise tax since the
law was passed.

Hillary Clinton signaled she might be open to repealing a key component of
Obamacare during a speech Wednesday at a medical device conference in
Chicago.

Since the passage of the landmark health care bill, Republicans have wanted
to kill a 2.3 percent excise tax on devices such as defibrillators and
pacemakers, usually paid by the devices' manufacturer or importer.  The
money it raises – an estimated $29 billion over a decade – is central to
the financing of Obamacare, and the White House opposes its repeal.

In a paid appearance before the Advanced Medical Technology Association, or
AdvaMed, Clinton told a ballroom filled with more than 2,000 industry
representatives that they "have an argument to make" when it comes to
repealing the tax.  "We have to look and see what are the pluses and
minuses," she said. "I don't know what the right answer about the tax is."

"Let's look at what we need to do to make sure that the medical technology
industry in this country remains innovative, profitable, effective,
strongly partnering to lower costs and improve quality," she said.

AdvaMed includes some of the biggest names in the industry, including
Johnson & Johnson, Medtronic, Abbott Laboratories, Boston Engineering and
Baxter.

"AdvaMed has consistently and strongly opposes the $30 billion medical
device tax because it harms job creation, deters medical innovation and
increases the cost of health care," the group says in a position statement
on its website. "Congress should repeal it before it can do more damage to
American Innovation."

More broadly, Clinton praised Obamacare, saying it's helping families avoid
bankruptcy and ensuring that "women are no longer charged more solely
because of our gender."  At the same time, she said "there is more work to
be done" to improve the law and American health care delivery.

"All of this work will be easier if we get beyond politics," she said. "Too
often our health care debates are clouded by ideology, rather than
illuminated by data."

Over time, she said, the law will help the U.S. economy.

Clinton also praised the many "contributions" the industry has made, citing
her husband's "quad bypass" heart surgery in 2004 and stents implanted in
2010.

"We're among the many American families who have stories about why what you
do is truly life changing and life-saving," she said.

Clinton's Chicago visit also included an appearance with Illinois Governor
Pat Quinn, one of many political stops she's expected to make before the Nov.
4 midterms. At a minimum, she's expected to also campaign for Senate
candidates in Colorado, Georgia, Iowa, North Carolina and New Hampshire.

Long secret files about the pardon of billionaire Marc Rich, the death of
White House attorney Vince Foster and former First Lady Hillary Clinton's
failed health care reform effort are set to emerge on Friday, the National

The list of topics made public on Wednesday confirmed much of a POLITICO
story in August that detailed highlights of the forthcoming release. That
article said the records include details of an early White House meeting
that gave rise to the Don't Ask, Don't Tell policy on gays in the military,
a crackdown on militia groups that followed the bombing of the Oklahoma
City federal building, and advice the Clintons' received on handling the
Whitewater controversy.

Potential presidential contenders Hillary Rodham Clinton and New Jersey
Gov. Chris Christie will be campaigning in the Philadelphia area Thursday for
Pennsylvania's gubernatorial candidates, as they compete in the state's
voter-rich southeast corner.

Christie planned a Thursday afternoon appearance at a rally in Wayne for
Republican Gov. Tom Corbett. Christie chairs the Republican Governors
Association, a fundraising arm that helps the GOP's gubernatorial
candidates around the country. The association is Corbett's biggest
campaign donor at $5.8 million so far in this campaign cycle.

Clinton will headline an evening "Women for Wolf" rally at the Constitution
Center in downtown Philadelphia to help Corbett's Democratic challenger,
Tom Wolf.

A high voter turnout in Philadelphia would favor Wolf. Almost 80 percent of
the city's 1 million-plus registered voters are Democrats, although just 40
percent cast a ballot for governor in 2010, when Corbett won his first term
by 9 percentage points. Voter turnout in the rest of the state was 48
percent that year.

Meanwhile, the candidate who wins Pennsylvania's four heavily populated
suburban counties is nearly assured of a victory. Pennsylvania has nearly
8.3 million registered voters, and one in three lives in Philadelphia or
its suburban counties.

Independent polls show Wolf with a comfortable lead over Corbett, as the
campaign spending threatens to break Pennsylvania's record of $69 million.

Corbett is Pennsylvania's former two-term attorney general from the
Pittsburgh area. Wolf, a first-time candidate, ran his family's York-based
building products distribution business for much of the last three decades.

Christie has been in Pennsylvania three times already since June to raise
money or campaign for Corbett. Clinton's visit is her first in support of
Wolf, one of several gubernatorial campaigns she is giving her stamp of
approval to this fall.

At a women's event held by the Democratic National Committee in September,
Clinton promoted Wisconsin Democrat Mary Burke. Clinton has raised money
for the Democratic Governors Association, and headlined a Florida
fundraiser earlier this month for Charlie Crist.

Clinton was in Chicago on Wednesday to aid embattled Illinois Gov. Pat
Quinn, before heading to Philadelphia.

Clinton's schedule before the Nov. 4 election includes stops for Martha
Coakley, who is seeking the Massachusetts governor's post, and for New
Hampshire Gov. Maggie Hassan.

Christie also is beating a path across the states holding gubernatorial
races. He campaigned last week for Bob Beauprez in Colorado; on Monday for
Tom Foley in Connecticut; and on Wednesday with Gov. Rick Scott in Florida.
Christie is expected in Rhode Island on Friday to campaign for
gubernatorial candidate Allan Fung and next week in Maine for Gov. Paul
LePage.

*The Daily Beast: “Obama’s 2008 Backers: We’re Ready for Warren”
<http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2014/10/09/obama-s-2008-backers-we-re-ready-for-warren.html>*

By David Freedlander

October 9, 2014

[Subtitle:] The Massachusetts Senator says she’ll sit out 2016. But some
Democratic diehards won’t take no for an answer, and are already building a
campaign for her.

She is, she insists, not interested, telling The Boston Globe, “There is no
wiggle room. I am not running for president. No means no.”

But for the organizers behind Ready for Warren, the SuperPAC trying to
draft the Massachusetts senator into the 2016 presidential race, the door
remains open for a potential run. So the group is staffing up in key early
primary states and raising money in what they say will be an all-out blitz
after the midterm elections designed to show Warren that there is a
groundswell of support behind her.

And if many of the organizers and early supporters of the Warren for
President seemed unfazed by the notion that Hillary Clinton is an all-but
inevitable Democratic nominee, perhaps that is because many of them have
seen this process play out before—when they backed a previously unknown
freshman senator from Illinois named Barack Obama who went on to topple the
Clinton machine.

“I was in the Obama world,” said Erica Sagrans, who is helping lead the
draft Warren effort and who served as digital director of the Obama
re-election campaign in 2012 after working for the pro-Obama outfit
Organizing for America in 2009. “There are a lot of people in that world
who are Warren fans, who really like Warren. But this is still a moment
when people aren’t entirely comfortable coming forward.”

A number of veterans of Obama-world, however, are now out and proud
Warren-ites. There is Kate Albright-Hanna, most recently a spokesperson for
Zephyr Teachout’s upstart New York gubernatorial primary against Andrew
Cuomo, and who joined the Obama effort way back in 2007 as the director of
online video. Now she is preparing to take an as of yet undefined role with
Ready for Warren.

“I am interested in building the progressive movement,” she said, citing a
campaign continuum that stretched from Howard Dean in 2004, through Obama
in 2008 and Teachout in 2014. “Getting involved in Elizabeth Warren is just
continuing along that same branch. “

She said that the excitement around Warren now was similar to that around
Obama in 2007.

“Before ‘change’ became such a cliché and everybody became disillusioned,
there was a moment where people got excited and thought that we can
actually change the way politics is conducted. We don’t have to be beholden
to entrenched interests. All of that was epitomized in the early days of
the Obama campaign, and there is the same sense now, that we don’t have to
settle for what we have been given.”

As for Clinton, Albright-Hanna said, “We can’t go back to the 1990’s.”

Deborah Sagner raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for Obama’s
campaign. Now, she calls herself one of the “first funders” of the Warren
effort, having donated $20,000 to Ready for Warren already.

“I have a history of not supporting Hillary Clinton that goes back to
2007,” Sagner said. “I have never been particularly inspired by her. And I
was very inspired by Barack Obama.”

Sagner said that she was concerned that Clinton was too hawkish and close
to Wall Street, but added a point repeated by many Warren supporters: that
robust debate, and a spirited primary, is good for the Democratic Party.

“I think it is good for the Democratic Party to have a progressive wing
that challenges business as usual.”

And if Warren seems like an unlikely upstart now, so did Obama at this time
eight years ago.

“[That campaign] made me think that it’s possible that this could happen.
There are some parallels. And these things can just catch on and get going.”

There are also, of course, several non-parallels. Clinton, for one thing,
is in a far stronger position than she was in 2000, back when voters still
remembered her husband’s administration for its scandals rather than for
its economic record, and back when Hillary was still paying for her Iraq
War vote. Early polling shows her with a commanding—if not outright
prohibitive—lead among Democratic voters. Additionally, Ready for Hillary,
the SuperPAC supporting her effort, has already raised $8 million, and the
bulk of the Democratic establishment has signed on, including some of the
party’s most well-known political operatives.

Ready for Warren, meanwhile, has raised between $50,-100,000 according to
organizers, and although it’s still preparing to open offices in New
Hampshire, Iowa, and South Carolina, it has so far signed up a few hundred
volunteers. But there are as of yet no prominent political supporters, and
perhaps its most well-known advisor is Billy Wimsatt, a longtime
progressive political activist and the author of the cult classic Bomb The
Suburbs.

“This is an inside/outside effort,” said Sagrans “There are people that
have connections and roots in the DC political world, and there are people
that are grassroots activists around the country.”

The group, however, recently bombarded the Harkin Steak Fry in Iowa, where
Hillary made what many observers saw as her triumphant return to the
national political stage. They are in discussions with several polling
firms, and are planning a nationwide night of phone-banking later this
month on behalf of Senate candidates that Warren has endorsed. They know
that 2016 activity is on hold until November, but are aware that once the
midterms are over, the presidential primary process begins in earnest. And
if Warren is to feel that there is support out there for her, than the
Ready for Warren team has a very short window to show it.

This means kicking up their fundraising in a major way. The group has
already hired Bulldog Finance Group, a fundraising outfit founded by Scott
Dworkin, who served on Obama’s inaugural committee in 2009, and which is
staffed by another vet of the Obama 2008 campaign.

“We are helping Ready for Warren with two main goals,” said Jerald Lentini,
vice-president of the firm and a former staffer with the AFL-CIO. “The
first is encouraging Elizabeth Warren to run for president, because she is
absolutely the best progressive out there. And the second is to build an
organization that can help Senator Warren win when she decides to run.”

But the early Warren supporters are not just pulled from the ranks of
people who helped derail Clinton’s ambitions in 2008. Audrey Blondin served
on Hillary’s campaign in Connecticut in 2008, and as the elected state
Democratic committeewoman, also worked on the campaigns of such
establishment figures as Al Gore and John Kerry.

“That was then. This is now,” she said. Blondin is a bankruptcy lawyer,
like Warren, and has known her for decades. She held a house party for
Ready for Warren over the summer, and said she was unswayed by the
senator’s denials.

“I understand that she says she is not interested in running. I have been
in politics 35 years. I know what happens. You think she is not watching
what we are doing? Of course she is. And that is going to make a
difference. It’s all about timing and she is in the right place at the
right time with the right message. In a few months it is going to take off.
She won’t be willing to buck the tide that is carrying her forward.”

And if she does buck that tide, it does not necessarily mean that it is end
of the Warren for President boomlet. According to Daniel Buk, a political
consultant who raised $40,000 for Obama in 2012 but has given $20,000 to
Ready for Warren this year, there is already talk of keeping the group
together through the 2020 election cycle.

“There is real excitement here,” Buk said. “And there is a real potential,
should Senator Warren reveal her plans.”
