Hillary Tells Voters to Bet on the Filly
Thursday, May 1st, 2008done
LOUISVILLE, KY — If the first rule of running for office is “never wear a silly hat,” there’s surely an exception for Kentucky Derby Week — and Hillary Clinton took full advantage outside her state headquarters today.
Arriving to greet volunteers and supporters, the New York Senator donned a flowered hat while shaking hands outside, where there was only one small camcorder present — though she ditched the hat before coming inside and facing the phalanx of network cameras.
While she said wished she could be in town for the Derby on Saturday, Clinton had some instructions for volunteers going to the race in her stead — telling them “I want everybody to place a little money on the filly.”
