October 21 at 6:00 a.m. EDT

SAN FRANCISCO — In this midterm election season, it may not be good to be a
Democrat — but it is very good to be Hillary Rodham Clinton.

The presumptive Democratic front-runner for 2016 is among her party’s best
assets to raise money and energize voters amid a gloomy election landscape
for Democrats this fall, and she is campaigning hard even on behalf of
apparent lost causes.

As a pair of events this week in California illustrated, Clinton’s efforts
to raise money and get out the vote for Democratic congressional and
gubernatorial candidates often dovetail with her own political agenda. Her
first political season after stepping down as secretary of state has
combined political boosterism for Democrats — including in key presidential
states — with high-dollar fundraising and lucrative paid speeches.

The appearances give revealing clues as to what kind of candidate Clinton
might be in two years — emphasizing women’s issues and striving to thread
the needle between her hawkish, centrist history and the more liberal base
that rejected her in favor of Barack Obama in 2008.

Here in San Francisco on Monday, Clinton gave a spirited call to arms to
Democrats as she road-tested what is likely to be her economic message if
she runs again. The November midterms, she said, come down “to a simple
question: Who’s on your side?”

She sounded close to her party’s populist marrow when she decried the
erosion of economic security for many working Americans, and a long way
from her tone-deaf remark earlier this year about being “dead broke” when
she and Bill Clinton left the White House in 2000.

“It’s time to elect leaders who will fight for everyone to get a fair shot
at the American dream,” Hillary Clinton said, adding proudly that more than
100 women are running as Democratic candidates for Congress this year. “I
can’t think of a better way to make Congress start working for American
families again than electing every last one of them.”

Clinton was the headliner at a Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee
(DCCC) event billed as the “Ultimate Women’s Power Luncheon,” with ticket
prices ranging from $500 a person to $32,400 per couple, for a total of
$1.4 million raised. House minority leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) was the
undercard. Organizers said about 800 people attended.

Pelosi, who was speaker before Democrats lost the House in 2010, joked that
while that made her the highest-ranking woman in U.S. politics, “I’d like
to give up that title.”

If Clinton runs, Pelosi added, “she will win.”

On Monday night, Clinton was the big draw for an A-list Hollywood event
hosted by DreamWorks Animation chief executive Jeffrey Katzenberg and
director Steven Spielberg, among others. The dinner, benefiting the
Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC) and other groups, was
closed to the press. Tickets cost $32,500 per person — the federal limit
for donations to a national party committee.

Clinton has campaigned in Colorado, Kentucky, Nevada, Michigan, New York,
Florida and elsewhere in support of Democratic Senate, House and
gubernatorial candidates in the past month. She also hosted a fundraiser
for the DSCC at her Washington home Sept. 9, lent her name to an e-mail
fundraising appeal for the DCCC on Sept. 22 and held numerous strategy
discussions with party leaders this fall.

For the next two weeks until Election Day, she has announced appearances
with Democratic gubernatorial candidate Gina Raimondo in Rhode Island and
Martha Coakley in Massachusetts, as well as for Senate incumbents Mark
Udall in Colorado, Kay Hagan in North Carolina and Jeanne Shaheen in New
Hampshire. Democrats said other appearances are likely, including in
important presidential states Iowa and Pennsylvania.

Clinton’s busy itinerary sets her apart from another former U.S. senator —
onetime foe and former boss President Obama — whose recent unpopularity has
kept him sequestered in the deepest-blue districts during midterm season.

“I wouldn’t want to be a Democrat relying on Hillary Clinton and Nancy
Pelosi’s help 14 days before an election where the Hillary-Pelosi-Obama
policies from the stalled economy to foreign policy and a general sense of
chaos are the central theme,” said Republican National Committee
spokeswoman Kirsten Kukowski.

Appearing with Pennsylvania Democratic gubernatorial candidate Tom Wolf in
Philadelphia two weeks ago, Clinton began articulating the themes of
strengthening the middle class and reducing pay inequity for women that she
returned to here in California.

Such campaign events serve to flex her own campaign network muscles while
building support and indebtedness among national and state party Democrats
who may have deserted her in 2008.

“Hillary Clinton’s work on behalf of candidates in the midterm fits
multiple priorities,” including her own preparations for 2016, said
Ange-Marie Hancock, a professor of political science and gender studies at
the University of Southern California.

And for Democrats this year, Hancock said, “it is important because Clinton
is incredibly popular among target voters who are less likely to turn out
during midterm elections — young people, African American and Latino
voters.”

On the stump, Clinton drops hints about her potential candidacy, usually
with a joke, but keeps the focus on the candidates at hand. She has made no
major news and kept her appearances gaffe-free after missteps during
interviews promoting her memoir “Hard Choices” this summer.

In her paid speeches, including one less than a week ago at a Silicon
Valley tech conference, Clinton appears relaxed and confident. She didn’t
flinch when a heckler yelled insults through a bullhorn as she addressed
the American Academy of Pediatrics in San Diego last week, playing the
event for a laugh. “You know, there are some people who miss important
developmental stages,” she said with a smile to the doctors’ group.

Visiting a Denver coffee shop with Udall on Oct. 13, with news cameras in
tow, Clinton playfully asked the barista about the artful depiction of a
leaf in the foam of Udall’s espresso drink.

“Is that a marijuana plant?” she exclaimed with a loud laugh.

It wasn’t, but the easygoing exchange and knowing reference to Colorado’s
marijuana legalization suggested a sure-footedness that Clinton sometimes
lacked during staged events in 2008. Several people who know Clinton well
have remarked that she seems more at ease in public now, more like the
engaging, funny person they say they see when the cameras are off. It is a
testament to the legendary power of the Clinton political machine that none
of those people wanted to discuss her style on the record.

A Clinton aide said she is relying on the recommendations of the Democratic
national and state committees and on the White House when choosing where to
campaign. Much of her effort thus far has been on behalf of Senate
candidates, as Democrats face the likelihood that they will lose their slim
Senate majority in the Nov. 4 vote.

“She’s done some fundraising for the House side,” with more to come, the
aide said, “but the focus has been on trying to hold the Senate. She’s a
former senator, so it makes sense.”

As to whether such events have any spillover benefit for Clinton’s own
potential candidacy, the aide demurred. He requested anonymity to discuss
Clinton’s closely held schedule and priorities.

“The focus really is on 2014. There’s not an enormous amount of looking to
the future,” the aide said. “It’s about what makes the most sense for now.”

Former president Bill Clinton is keeping a similarly busy midterm schedule,
but Hillary Clinton’s position as a likely presidential candidate makes her
an equal or even greater draw for money and party enthusiasm, several
strategists and party officials said.

“Both are uniquely equipped to multiply money and turnout,” said DCCC
Chairman Steve Israel, who said Clinton’s fundraiser for New York and New
Jersey Democrats last month was “standing-room only.”

He dismissed the notion that her prominence as a drawing card puts a finger
on the scale for her if she decides to run for president in a few months.

“The only downside to Hillary Clinton appearing at a DCCC fundraiser is
that you need a room large enough,” Israel said in an interview. “It’s
indisputable that many people want her to run, but even in the absence of
her candidacy she’s still Hillary Clinton. She’s a historical figure, and
one of the biggest draws in American politics.”

Over 70% of college graduates in America leave school with student loan
debt, and I was one of them. Last year, the average amount of debt per
student was $29,400 – which is a lot for anyone to saddle, especially a
twenty-two year old.

To be clear, I wouldn’t trade my college experience for anything. It was
absolutely invaluable and has enriched my life in ways that I haven’t even
realized yet. But, like most valuable things, it came with a price.

And that price continues to rise. In fact, college tuition rates have risen
faster than inflation every year since 1981. When you add to this equation
the major cuts in state funding and the increasing number of college
enrollees, you get what Hillary Clinton recently called “one of the biggest
problems we have in the country.” To address this problem will require a
combination of efforts from colleges and universities, state governments,
and student loan lenders. And the federal government must also do its part.

The federal government’s Pell Grant program provides grants based on a
student’s financial need. Unlike loans, Pell Grants do not have to be
repaid. However, the amount of Pell Grants has not kept up with the rise in
college tuition costs, requiring students to borrow more. In fact, the
value of the maximum grant available at the average four-year public
university fell from approximately 80% in the 1970s to just 31% last year.

Congress must continue the fight to strengthen the Pell Grant program, just
as Hillary Clinton did in the Senate, when she fought to restore $270
million for the program that was cut during the Bush administration and
introduced a bill to allow students to receive two Pell Grants a year
instead of one.

Trust me, when you’ve taken out as much debt as me and my friends, you’re
willing to work for any help you can get to pay it off, which is why
service programs like AmeriCorps are becoming increasingly popular.
AmeriCorps offers loan forgiveness, cancellation, or grants in exchange for
community service work. It was created in 1994, and since then, over
800,000 people have participated in the program, totaling over one billion
hours of service all over the country.

It’s a win-win situation – at least when both sides live up to their end of
the bargain.

For AmeriCorps volunteers, Hillary Clinton made sure government fulfilled
its end of the bargain by pushing a bill through Congress to guarantee that
every volunteer gets their education award. Teach for America, the program
I joined, can only afford to give educational awards to some of its
participants, and as luck would have it, I did not make the cut.

I obviously value education or I wouldn’t have dug myself into this
financial hole for mine, but I also want to help the next generation of
young people pursue an education of their own, which is why I joined Teach
for America in the first place. As a 7th grade math teacher at STRIVE
Preparatory School in Denver, I’m doing what I love to do. The education
award would just lift some financial burden off of my shoulders.

Most importantly, knowing that the federal government is doing all it can
to address the increasing student loan debt in America would help reassure
that I am not passing along the wrong message to my own students when I
encourage them to strive for a college education. After all, I don’t want
that message to end in their financial downfall.

As we approach the final days leading up to Election Day, the important
role women must play in this election has never been so clear. As women
continue to break down barriers and advance in society, there is a
steadfast group of lawmakers and politicians who are hell-bent on putting
policies into place designed to hold women back. With so much at stake,
women must make their voices heard loud and clear that we won't stand for
attacks on our rights, economic security, or healthcare. And the best way
to get this point across is by voting.

To really put into perspective what's at stake for women, the progress
women have made in the following five issue areas could be adversely
impacted if Republicans take control of the Senate.

1.            Equal Pay

The data on the wage gap is clear: a woman in the workplace today makes 78
cents for every dollar a man makes. This means if a man and a woman are
doing the same job, at the same company, with the same title, that woman
is, on average, making three-fourths the income as her male counterpart. As
absurd and backwards as this may seem, many Republicans continue to deny
that women are facing these types of discriminatory barriers.

Case in point: just last month, Senate Republicans unanimously blocked the
Paycheck Fairness Act, which would have helped make sure women are paid
equally for equal work. Their excuse? Many Republicans pointed to the Equal
Pay Act, which was signed into law in 1963!! It's time for these laws to be
updated so we can put an end to the wage gap once and for all.

2.            Minimum Wage

Republicans recently made it clear that they think it's perfectly
reasonable for a person to live in America today on an annual salary of
$14,500 in their refusal to raise the federal minimum wage from $7.25 an
hour to $10.10 an hour.

Raising the minimum wage isn't just an economic issue, it's a women's
issue. How so? Women are disproportionally affected by a low minimum wage
because, simply put, women comprise a large majority of minimum wage
earners. Additionally, women hold the majority of jobs that work on tips,
earning even less than a livable wage.

Raising the minimum wage to an actual LIVABLE wage would not only better
support women and their families, but would strengthen the economy. A
recent study by the Economic Policy Institute estimates that raising the
minimum wage to $10.10 an hour would grow our GDP by $22 billion and create
roughly 85,000 net new jobs.

Seems like a no brainer, right? Republicans don't think so.

3.            Health Care

Earlier this summer, the Supreme Court ruled in one of its most
controversial decisions as of late that for-profit companies can refuse to
pay for their employees' contraception, as mandated under the Affordable
Care Act, if they object from a religious standpoint. How did Republicans
react to this decision? They not only jumped up and down and applauded it,
but they even introduced a bill in the Senate reinforcing the decision!

And speaking of the Affordable Care Act, Republicans have tried -
unsuccessfully - more than 50 times to repeal the bill, a bill that has and
continues to expand health care access to women.

4.            Supporting Families

This is such a broad topic that encompasses so many issues that it's best
summed up in the words of Hillary Clinton, who recently said, "the
Democratic Party is at its best, just like America is at its best, when we
rally behind a very simple but powerful idea: family."

And she's right - the Democratic Party has always been the Party focused on
supporting and strengthening families. Democrats led the effort to pass the
Family Medical Leave Act, the Violence Against Women Act, and expand
Medicaid and early childhood education programs, just to name a few. Make
no mistake - every single one of these programs would be impacted if
Republicans hold the power in both chambers of Congress.

5.            And last but not least...we need more women

Women represent more than half the population, but hold less than 20
percent of the seats in Congress. Government should reflect the people it
represents. We need more women to be elected officials. And more women are
elected when more women vote.

Democrats have a history of sitting out the midterms. Maybe it's because in
their minds, a lack of a presidential race means this election doesn't
matter. Or maybe their frustration with the gridlock in Washington has
turned them off. But with so much hanging in the balance, sitting out this
election cycle is extremely dangerous - especially for women.

While leaders like Hillary Clinton are crisscrossing the country, preaching
the fact that this election is between Republicans and "leaders who will
fight for women and girls to have the same opportunities and rights they
deserve," those words of warning and encouragement are in vain unless women
get out there and exercise their constitutional right at the ballot box.

Women...get out there and vote.

[Subtitle:] The event brought together Clinton and Obama supporters from
2008

Three generations of Birmingham family women turned out on Monday to see
House minority leader Nancy Pelosi and former Secretary of State Hillary
Clinton rally for female Democratic candidates.

 “It was fabulous, a wonderful event,” gushes Alanna Birmingham, 17,
clutching one of the lunch’s floral centerpieces, a keepsake for her to
take home. “You could just feel the energy in the room, all this beautiful
female energy.” Birmingham was there with her mother and grandmother in a
show of political unity the family hasn’t always enjoyed, especially when
it comes to Hillary Clinton—and they weren’t the only ones.

Billed as “The Ultimate Women’s Power Luncheon,” the event raised $1.4
million for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee from the 820
mostly women in attendance bringing the DCCC’s money lead of its GOP
counterpart to a whopping $38 million with just two weeks to go before the
election. The event also featured a set by singer Carole King (including a
rendition of “Sweet Seasons” where she changed the lyrics to “Some times
you win; sometimes you win” instead of lose).

But the 2014 midterms, where Dems are expected to lose seats in both
chambers and possibly control of the Senate, were not the elections on most
women’s lips at the lunch. Cynthia Birmingham, Alanna’s mother, was there
to show early support for Clinton’s anticipated 2016 presidential bid, in
part to make up for not supporting her primary candidacy in 2008. “I’m so
excited to support Hillary in 2016,” she says.

Birmingham wasn’t the only one. California Reps. Anna Eshoo, Zoe Lofgren,
George Miller and Barbara Lee—all close allies of Pelosi—were all in
enthusiastic attendance on Monday and all endorsed Obama during the
primaries in 2008. Indeed, many saw then Speaker Pelosi’s call in 2008 on
super delegates to respect the will of the voters in their home states,
rather than endorsing the candidate of their choice, as one of the nails in
the coffin of Clinton’s candidacy. Though Pelosi very carefully never
endorsed either candidate in 2008.

The event was a healing one for the Birminghams as well. Ann Birmingham,
Alanna’s grandmother and Cynthia’s mother-in-law, was also in approving
attendance, happy to see her women kin supporting the candidate she’s long
adored. “I loved and supported Hillary back in 2008 and I will love and
support her in 2016,” Ann says. “I was terribly disappointed when she lost.”

But all that was forgotten on Monday with Clinton and Pelosi hugging and
kissing onstage and united in their common cause to not only elect more
women to Congress, where women make up less than 20%, but to start a
women’s empowerment movement in politics. “When women succeed, America
succeeds,” both women—and the crowd—chanted over and over throughout the
program.

“For too many women, for too many families they don’t just face ceilings
for their dreams,” Clinton said, referring to the 18 million cracks in the
glass ceiling, or the 18 million Americans who voted to make her the first
female Democratic presidential nominee in 2008, she famously referenced in
her concession speech, “they feel floor has collapsed beneath their feet.”

Clinton lavished praise on Pelosi’s ground-breaking leadership as the first
female speaker, a post she held from 2006 until Democrats lost the House in
2010. And Pelosi started her speech saying she hoped she would soon be
surpassed. “I’m frequently introduced as the highest ranking woman in U.S.
office; I’d like to give up that title. And soon,” she told a roaring
crowd. “If Hillary Clinton, mother and grandmother, decides to run for
president she will win… and she will be one of the best prepared leaders,
one of the top presidents in the Oval Office. That she happens to be a
woman is a bonus and a wonderful, wonderful thing. But she happens to also
be a leader of visions and values.”

Indeed, Cynthia Birmingham says she’s supporting Clinton this time around
because she’s an experienced, proven leader at a time when the country most
needs that experience. “No one else in the field even comes close,” she
says, “Hillary just blows them all away. It’s not so much that she’s a
woman, but that she’s the best person for the job.”

Tickets to the Brentwood dinner featuring Clinton sold for $32,400 per
person, but donors also were given the option of contributing up to
$211,200 to the Democrats' Grassroots Victory Project 2014 in a last-minute
push to beat the Republicans

Former Sec. of State Hillary Clinton's ultra-elite Hollywood fundraiser at
Tavern restaurant in Brentwood on Monday raised $2.1 million for Democrats
in tight Senate races, The Hollywood Reporter has learned.

Tickets for the dinner, co-hosted by Jeffrey Katzenberg and Steven
Spielberg, sold for $32,400 per person, but donors also were given the
option of contributing up to $211,200 to the Grassroots Victory Project
2014, a joint fundraising committee authorized by the Democratic Senatorial
Campaign Committee to benefit candidates around the country, making the
fundraiser the largest of the season.

In April, a U.S. Supreme Court decision struck down campaign contribution
limits that prevented donors from giving more than $123,200 to candidates,
political party committees and political action committees per two-year
election cycle. The decision also nixed limits on contributions to parties
and PACs, making way for super-sized joint fundraising committees, like the
Grassroots Victory Project.

According to campaign finance reports, Grassroots raised $1.3 million
during the July through September reporting period, with Boston-based
investor Ian Simmons accounting for the single largest donation of
$150,000. Now, with Hollywood's deep pockets focused on the group, expect
the names of industry bigwigs to turn up in the next filing.

An invitation to the Clinton event, obtained by THR, singled out a number
of Hollywood favorites as beneficiaries. They included Kentucky candidate
Alison Lundergan Grimes, Georgia candidate Michelle Nunn, West Virginia
candidate Natalie Tennant, Colorado Sen. Mark Udall, Alaska Sen. Mark
Begich, Arkansas Sen. Mark Pryor and North Carolina Sen. Kay Hagan.

The event's lengthy list of co-chairs included Walt Disney Studios chairman
Alan Horn and wife Cindy, Casey and Laura Wasserman, and LiveNation CEO
Michael Rapino and wife Jolene Blalock. Also attending the event were
Cameron Diaz, Eva Longoria and Jim Parsons.

Katzenberg introduced Clinton to a crowd of about 60 people at Tavern,
where the former secretary of state talked about the importance of keeping
a Democratic majority in the Senate to implement immigration reform and
other key Obama initiatives. Although Clinton did not specifically talk
about whether or not she would seek election in 2016, people in the room
treated her like she was already running, according to one source.

Hillary Clinton tonight told a room full of Hollywood heavyweights that the
midterm elections are very important to make sure the Democrats retain the
Senate so they can move forward on “important issues like immigration
reform.” What she also told the 60 or so guests in attendance is, to use
some of  the introductory remarks by co-chair Jeffrey Katzenberg, is “the
amazing drawing power” of the former Secretary of State. A fact not lost on
anyone as tonight’s event raised $2.1 million for Democratic Senatorial
Campaign Committee, a fundraising record.

The presumptive predominant 2016 Presidential candidate was the headliner
at a Brentwood fundraiser co-hosted by big Democratic 2014 Variety Power Of
Women Presented By Lifetime - Roaming InsideParty bundler Katzenberg. The
DreamWorks Animation boss and his wife Marilyn were joined at event
sponsored by the DSCC by fellow co-chairs and big donors Casey Wasserman
and Laura Wasserman, Steven Spielberg and Kate Capshaw, Disney Studios
chairman Alan Horn and Cindy Harrell Horn, and Live Nation president and
CEO Michael Rapino and Jolene Rapino. Katzenberg’s political consigliere
Andy Spahn and Jennifer Perry were also co-chairs. Although named on the
invite that went out last week for tonight’s 6 PM starting event, Spielberg
and Horn was not actually at the fundraiser. Big time Dem supporter Cindy
Harrell Horn was as were the Rapinos and the Wassermans. Avengers director
Joss Whedon was there, sources say. Also there was long time Democratic
supporter Eva Longeria, Big Bang Theory‘s Jim Parsons and Cameron Diaz.

DSCC Chair Sen. Michael Bennet spoke first followed by the DWA boss who
praised the “success of the evening.” Clinton then spoke  and took
questions from the paying audience.

Clinton herself didn’t bring up her assumed Presidential run in two years
tonight sources tell me but Hillary’s return to the White House and the
campaign trail was on the minds and lips of LA and DC powerhouses today.
Earlier in the day at a Clinton headlined fundraising lunch in San
Francisco, former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi told the crowd that if the
former First Lady does decide to run for President, “she will win.” An
industry attendee at tonight’s event told me “the person I saw tonight
acted like and was treated like an anointed Presidential candidate.”
Clinton “worked the room like her hat was already thrown into the ring,” he
added.

California’s senators Dianne Feinstein and Barbara Boxer were both supposed
to be attendance with their former Senate colleague. However while the
latter was there , the former was not. Boxer was also at the Ready For
Hillary Super PAC fundraiser September 21 the Pacific Palisades home of
Homeland producer Howard Gordon and his wife Cami that raised cash for a
Clinton 2016 campaign. Though she has been to LA for speaking and charity
events since leaving the State Department last year, tonight’s fundraiser
is Clinton’s first direct cash-seeking event outside of a stop last October
for her longtime pal, former DNC chair and now Virginia Gov. Terry
McAuliffe.

With top tickets for tonight’s dinner, reception and a photo with Clinton
going for $32,400, the fundraiser for the Grassroots Victory Project 2014
was held at the upmarket Tavern restaurant on San Vicente Blvd, as Deadline
revealed earlier this month. Attendees were also able to give $211,200 to
Grassroots directly. While the ever present gaggle of protesters were there
and Clinton’s visit to LA came with a very apparent security force, it did
not have the sweeping Service Service road closures causing traffic chaos
like President Obama’s trip 10 days ago for a fundraiser at the home of
Gwyneth Paltrow.

In line with the recent visits by Vice President Joe Biden and Obama,
Clinton’s hoovering up of Hollywood dough comes midway through a
multi-state foray with the Congressional midterm elections looming. Before
arriving in LA this afternoon, Clinton was in San Francisco earlier today
and raised $1.4 million for the DCCC. Tomorrow she is in Colorado tomorrow
and Massachusetts on Friday among other stops in the tried-and-true pattern
of a candidate looking to gather chits to cash in later. Speaking of cash,
the financial support of Katzenberg and other Hollywood deep pockets is
another fundamental component of any Clinton 2016 run – support the ex-NY
Senator clearly has at this point.

Among her previous stops on the campaign trail over the past month, Clinton
stumped for Kentucky Senate hopeful Alison Lundergan Grimes last week. The
Grimes campaign has special significance for the primary host of tonight’s
event as Katzenberg has made unseating Senate Minority Leader and
Kentucky’s current senior senator Mitch McConnell his primary aim of this
year’s midterms. To that end, the DWA CEO has contributed the maximum
allowed to the current Bluegrass state Secretary of State’s coffers and has
introduced Grimes to other big Tinseltown donors at fundraisers in both LA
and NYC.

Clinton of course needs no introduction.

AURORA, Colo. (AP) - Hillary Clinton is coming back to Colorado.

The former Secretary of State was in town last week for a fundraiser for
embattled Democratic Sen. Mark Udall. On Tuesday she will headline a
get-out-the-vote rally for Udall, Gov. John Hickenlooper and Democratic
congressional candidate Andrew Romanoff.

Clinton has been traveling the country helping Democratic candidates
recently. And if she runs for president in 2016 she will need the support
of Colorado voters to reach the White House.

Colorado Democrats have emphasized their get-out-the-vote operations as
ballots arrive in voters’ mailboxes. Under a new law that Democrats pushed
through the legislature voters can mail in ballots or drop them off at
polling places. Citizens can register to vote up until Election Day.

*Chicago Tribune: Quinn brings in Clinton, Rauner counters with Christie
<http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/politics/chi-quinn-brings-in-clinton-rauner-counters-with-christie-20141020-story.html>*

Democratic Gov. Pat Quinn and Republican challenger Bruce Rauner will kick
off the final, frenzied two weeks of campaigning before the Nov. 4 election
with the help of some political star power on Tuesday.

Quinn is scheduled to appear in Chicago with former President Bill Clinton,
while Rauner will tour the state, including an afternoon stop in Rockford
with New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, a possible 2016 presidential contender.

Clinton's visit come on the heels of President Barack Obama's return to
Chicago to stump for Quinn, where he headlined a rally Sunday at Chicago
State University to mark the start of early voting, then cast his ballot on
Monday. First Lady Michelle Obama and former Secretary of State and
possible presidential candidate Hillary Clinton helped raise money for
Quinn earlier this month.

Christie, meanwhile, has been a frequent sight on the campaign trail with
Rauner, hosting several fundraisers and shaking hands at restaurants across
the state.

The parade of political celebrities visiting Illinois demonstrates what's
at stake: Republicans see a way in after years of Democratic control, while
Democrats are going all-out to prevent the potential embarrassment of
losing the governor's mansion in Obama's home state.

Clinton will speak at Wheatland Tube on the Southwest Side in an
economic-themed event. Rauner has used the economy as a frequent point of
attack on Quinn. Christie will appear at Dial Machine in Rockford as part
of Rauner's statewide tour to promote early voting.

On Wednesday, Vice President Joe Biden is scheduled to appear at an early
voting rally with Quinn running mate Paul Vallas, U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin and
U.S. Rep. Brad Schneider at the Sullivan Community Center in Vernon Hills.
Durbin faces Republican state Sen. Jim Oberweis and Schneider has a rematch
against former Republican U.S. Rep. Robert Dold.

Quinn and Rauner hit the campaign trail following the final televised
debate on Monday night in which the two unleashed negativity on each other
for most of an hour. Quinn ecried “savage cuts” in a Rauner budget, while
the Republican challenger repeatedly branded the Democratic chief executive
a “phony” and a “failure.”

The forum provided the Democratic governor, seeking a second elected term,
and the Republican nominee, seeking his first elected office, one last free
appearance to try to persuade voters as each campaign spends tens of
millions of dollars on negative broadcast attack ads.

Together, the two campaigns have raised nearly $80 million — $55.8 million
by Rauner and $23.3 million by Quinn — since Rauner entered the race in
March 2013. Rauner has personally given his campaign $20.1 million,
including another $1.5 million reported to the State Board of Elections
earlier Monday.

Rauner was able to criticize Quinn throughout the debate while keeping an
even tone. But Rauner, who has run his campaign based on his business
success, stumbled when asked to name a business investment that led to
increased jobs in Illinois. Rauner did not list a single company, pointing
the audience to the web site of his former GTCR investment firm, saying it
lists “hundreds of companies for everybody to see.”

Quinn evaded a question — posed at different points by the journalists on
the panel and Rauner himself — on whether he would try to make permanent
the 2011 income-tax increase he signed if he loses the governor’s race.
Rauner said Quinn should take no action if he loses the election.

In that scenario, Quinn would be a lame-duck governor acting before the new
governor took office. Quinn wants to make that tax hike permanent, though
the personal rate is supposed to roll back from the current 5 percent to
3.75 percent in January.

“I’m in favor of making sure we maintain our income tax level but at the
same time provide solid property tax relief to every homeowner in this
state,” said Quinn, who has proposed a $500 per homeowner property-tax
rebate plan that went nowhere in the General Assembly.

For his part, Rauner vowed to put a half-billion dollars of additional
funding into the state’s education system by “cutting wasteful spending and
having a growth economy.” Accusing Quinn of “massive wasteful spending,
corruption and cronyism,” Rauner said the savings from curbing corruption
could lead to increased funding for schools.

“We have a massive economic failure in Illinois. Gov. Quinn, he’s running
on scare tactics,” said Rauner, who added that the Democrat “can’t run on
the truth. The truth is Illinois is failing on jobs, failing on taxes.”

But Quinn said Rauner was “going around Illinois telling a lot of tall
tales” about how the Republican would be able to cut taxes while boosting
funding for schools and public works.

Statement

We are deeply saddened by the passing of our dear friend, Oscar de la
Renta. His singular talent and exquisite taste elevated American fashion,
and his warmth and friendship will be missed by our family and all whose
lives he touched in his extraordinary journey.

Oscar’s remarkable eye was matched only by his generous heart. His legacy
of philanthropy extended from children in his home country who now have
access to education and healthcare, to some of New York’s finest artists
whose creativity has been sustained through his support.

We will always be grateful to Oscar for the love he showed us, and for
sharing his talent on some of the most important occasions of our lives.
And we will never forget the joy, adventure, and beauty we shared with
Oscar, his beloved wife, Annette, and their family during our many happy
times together, especially those spent in his beloved Dominican Republic.

We join his family and many friends and admirers all over the world in
mourning his loss, while also celebrating his beautiful and joyous life.

Bill and Hillary Clinton, as well as former First Lady Laura Bush, are
paying homage to fashion designer Oscar de la Renta, who passed away late
Monday.

“His singular talent and exquisite taste elevated American fashion, and his
warmth and friendship will be missed by our family and all whose lives he
touched in his extraordinary journey,” the Clintons said in a joint
statement.

Bush also released a statement praising de la Renta, who designed dresses
both for her and her daughter, Jenna, for whom he made a wedding dress in
2008.

“We will miss Oscar’s generous and warm personality, his charm, and his
wonderful talents,” Bush said in a statement. “My daughters and I have many
fond memories of visits with Oscar, who designed our favorite clothes,
including Jenna’s wedding dress. We will always remember him as the man who
made women look and feel beautiful.”

Jenna Bush Hager, now an NBC News correspondent, also paid tribute to de la
Renta. I’m thinking of this man today and my heart is broken,” she wrote on
Twitter Tuesday morning. “So honored that I knew and loved him.”

Both Hillary Clinton and Laura Bush wore de la Renta dresses to their
husbands’ respective second inaugural balls. The designer had made outfits
for every first lady in the U.S. since Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis.

He has also dressed Arizona Sen. John McCain’s wife Cindy, who wore a de la
Renta dress to the 2008 Republican National Convention where her husband
accepted the presidential nomination, and longtime Hillary Clinton aide
Huma Abedin when she married former New York Rep. Anthony Weiner in 2010.

Most recently, he had been critical of Michelle Obama for shunning his
designs and wearing dresses made by foreign designers. Earlier this month,
the first lady wore an outfit designed by de la Renta at the White House
Fashion Education Workshop.

De la Renta died at 82 at home in Connecticut, according to a family
statement. There was no specified cause of death.

October 21, 2014

Washington (CNN) -- Oscar de la Renta was known for being a designer to
first families, and the Clintons were no exception.

The famous designer -- who died at 82 on Monday -- designed a number of
dresses for the former first lady, including her 1997 gold lace inaugural
dress and a plum gown she wore to her daughter's 2010 wedding.

Early on Tuesday, the Clintons remembered de la Renta as a "singular
talent" whose "exquisite taste elevated American fashion."

"Oscar's remarkable eye was matched only by his generous heart," said a
statement from Bill and Hillary Clinton, and Chelsea Clinton and Marc
Mezvinsky. "His legacy of philanthropy extended from children in his home
country who now have access to education and healthcare, to some of New
York's finest artists whose creativity has been sustained through his
support."

The Clintons were also personally close with de la Renta. In their
statement, the family said they "will always be grateful to Oscar for the
love he showed us" and "will never forget the joy, adventure, and beauty we
shared with Oscar."

De la Renta, who was born in the Dominican Republic and launched his
fashion career in the 1960s, also displayed his work at the Clinton Library
in Little Rock during a temporary exhibit in 2013.

Just as effusive as the Clintons were for de la Renta in death, the
designer was an outspoken supporter of the Clintons, especially Hillary.

At an April speech honoring de la Renata, Clinton said, "This man has been
working for more than 20 years to turn me into a fashion icon. Year in and
year out, he's never given up."

De la Renata responded to Clinton in the speech with this: "My beloved
Hillary, do not disappoint me. You have to be President, okay?"

*Baltimore Sun Opinion: Is Panetta's hit on Obama a boon for Hillary?
<http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/opinion/oped/bal-is-panettas-hit-on-obama-a-boon-for-hillary-20141020-story.html>*

By David Horsey

Did Leon Panetta really conspire with Bill and Hillary Clinton to undermine
Barack Obama by writing a memoir that slams the president's leadership
skills and foreign policy acumen? That's what political strategist Dick
Morris claims.

"I think Hillary put him up to it," Mr. Morris said in a recent interview
on a radio talk show in New York City.

As the man who famously allowed a call girl to listen in on his
conversations with President Clinton back in the 1990s when he was a White
House political advisor, Mr. Morris is an expert on this kind of inside-the
Beltway intrigue. He notoriously wrote a damning tell-all book about the
Clintons after his relationship with the prostitute became public and he
was expelled from the president's inner circle.

Now, Mr. Panetta, President Obama's former secretary of defense and
director of the CIA, has written his own revealing book, "Worthy Fights."
While not as sensational as the Clinton book Mr. Morris penned, Mr.
Panetta's volume does not make his ex-boss look good. Mr. Morris seems to
have no doubt about why Mr. Panetta chose to critique the inner workings of
the administration at this particular moment, rather than waiting until Mr.
Obama leaves office.

"What Panetta is doing is a hit -- a contract killing -- for Hillary," Mr.
Morris said. "Panetta at core is a Clinton person, not an Obama person. By
accurately and truthfully describing the deliberations in the (Obama)
cabinet, he makes Hillary look better, and he makes Obama look worse. ...
And I think he'll get his reward in heaven."

Heaven, of course, would be a Clinton restoration in 2016. Mr. Obama's
current low popularity and alleged weakness on foreign policy could be a
drag on Hillary's expected presidential campaign. The current conventional
wisdom in the pundit class, a view that Mr. Morris spins to its most
extreme, is that the Clinton camp wants to put a lot of distance between
Barack and Hillary.

If true -- and it probably is -- Ms. Clinton is hardly the only Democrat
running away from the president. In the current congressional campaign,
Democratic candidates all across the country have been disassociating
themselves from Obama. A prime example is Alison Lundergan Grimes, the
Kentucky secretary of state who is running to topple Minority Leader Mitch
McConnell from his Senate seat. Ms. Grimes has twisted herself in knots to
avoid saying she ever voted for Mr. Obama and she would probably go into
hiding were the president to visit Kentucky to campaign on her behalf. But
on Wednesday Ms. Grimes was perfectly happy to share a stage with Hillary
Clinton, who flew in to stump for her. The two of them joined raised hands
and grinned for the cameras as if they were running mates.

Centrist Democrats, such as Mr. Panetta and both Clintons, who are nearly
as hawkish on defense and foreign policy as Republican neoconservatives,
believe Obama's rush to get out of Iraq was a mistake. In his book, Mr.
Panetta echoes the same charge against the president as that made by
conservatives -- that he should have worked harder to force the Iraqi
government to allow the U.S. military to retain a presence in Iraq. The
total withdrawal of American forces, Panetta says, created a power vacuum
that has been filled by the marauding battalions of Islamic State.

Pushing his book last Sunday on the CBS news show "Face the Nation," Mr.
Panetta said the U.S. airstrikes against Islamic State militants will not
be enough to roll them back. Only boots on the ground can do that, the
ex-Defense and CIA chief said, and Mr. Obama is wrong to foreclose the
possibility that those boots will be worn by Americans.

"I don't mind presidents who have the quality of a law professor in looking
at the issues and determining just exactly, you know, what needs to be
done," Mr. Panetta said. "But presidents need to also have the heart of a
warrior. That's the way you get things done, is you engage in the fight."

I'm not nearly as cynical as Dick Morris, so I do not think Mr. Panetta is
writing and saying these damaging things about Mr. Obama because the
Clintons put him up to it. Still, he is quite effectively opening the way
for Hillary to become the candidate with a warrior's heart. This is tricky
business for Democrats, though, because no matter how much it may help a
Clinton campaign in 2016, Mr. Panetta is presenting a case that could be a
winning argument for plenty of Republican candidates this November.

Former President Bill Clinton will stump in Milwaukee Friday for Democratic
candidate for governor Mary Burke.

Clinton, who won Wisconsin twice, will seek to boost Burke's candidacy as
she runs a tight race against GOP Gov. Scott Walker, who has himself won
two statewide elections here.

Burke spokesman Joe Zepecki made the announcement, saying that her campaign
hoped to have more details on the campaign event on Tuesday.

OWENSBORO, Ky. (AP) -- Former President Bill Clinton returns to Kentucky on
Tuesday to campaign with Democratic Senate hopeful Alison Lundergan Grimes
two weeks before the election.

Clinton is scheduled to hold campaign rallies in Owensboro and Paducah on
Tuesday. It will be Clinton's third visit to Kentucky this year, and it
follows a visit last week from Hillary Clinton in Louisville in front of
thousands of people.

Large crowds have also flocked to Bill Clinton's appearances, a sign the
Clintons are still popular in a state that has voted for them a combined
three times for president. Grimes has used her association with the
Clintons to distance herself from Democratic President Barack Obama.

Republican Sen. Mitch McConnell is scheduled to have six campaign stops in
five eastern Kentucky counties on Tuesday.
