WASHINGTON - Democratic presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton has a “little secret” about the candidate conservatives love to hate — she’s human.
In a light-hearted exchange on Fox News’ “Fox and Friends” show following her primaries victories in Ohio, Rhode Island and Texas, Clinton offered the conservative leaning news network an exclusive.
“I have a little secret which I will only tell Fox … if you promise not to tell anybody else,” she joked. “You know what? I really am a human being. I know that’s hard to believe but it happens to be true.”
The New York senator, known for her toughness in the face of adversity, has been trying to show her lighter side in her contest against Sen. Barack Obama for the Democratic presidential nomination. In the days leading up to Tuesday’s crucial primaries Clinton poked fun at herself on NBC’s “Saturday Night Live” show and the “Daily Show” on Comedy Central.
Clinton may have something else working in her favor as she tries to win the Democratic nomination battle — she was born in October. Former White House political adviser Karl Rove noted that more U.S. presidents were born in October than any other month.
“I mean, the omens are just stacking up. What can I say?” Clinton responded.

I just love Hillary! Seriously. I think she’s super. I think that many Americans are afraid of a tough woman, but it doesn’t bother me one bit. I like Barack too. Its Howard Dean that’s the problem. He’s not showing leadership in the party and instead is complaining about money and what is and what isnt his responsibility. This from the guy that brought us, “AAAAAARRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGHHHH!”. Hopefully the candidates will get together and fix the party, cause no one else is!
- Posted by JackieHave no fear Tyler. We in the Muslim community will work hard and ensure that Obama is elected. It is the will of Allah, praised be His Name. Only with a strong leader in the US, can good relations be established with the Muslim world. With Obama in charge, Islam will become greatly tolerated in America and there will be peace. It is the first and important step in converting our great country into an Islamic state.

Dear Madam, and Sir,
A Hillary Clinton, and Barack Obama ticket is what we want. And that is what we need to take back the Whitehouse. We want a smart, tough, idealistic, seasoned veteran of many battles fighting for the American people (Hillary Clinton). With a young, passionate, smart, open-minded, hard-working idealist fighting for the American people (Barrack Obama). The DREAM TEAM!
You are both fabulous candidates. And we, the American people are very fortunate to have each of you. Taking back the Whitehouse is critical for the American people, and the world at this time. And I think the American people have been saying loudly, and clearly that a Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama ticket is the best way to do this.
I think the American people have made it very clear that they feel Hillary Clinton is the one best able to lead the ticket against John McCain at this critical, and desperate time in America, and around the world. These dramatic comebacks are testament to Hillary Clinton’s skill, and experience as a fighter for the American people. They are also a testament to the strong desire of the American people to have both of you fighting for the American people at this time of midnight in America.
Typical of the Clinton’s is an uncanny ability to see and understand what the American people want. And then to try and get it for them. Even if they have to go through three political near death experiences to try and get it for the American people. This is classic Clinton’s. They are the best I have ever seen.
We are desperate out here. Millions of us are suffering greatly. And tens of thousands of us are dying needlessly every year. Men, women, children, and babies. We need help! As Hillary Clinton said “It’s not a game”. We need the two of you together on our side fighting for us, and for the American dream for all. Not fighting against each other anymore.
It’s time for you Senator Obama to join forces with Hillary Clinton as her running mate so that we can all focus our energies, and resources on taking back America for the American people.
Don’t make me hurt you.
Sincerely
Jacksmith…
