If Hillary wants to run, I am hopeful that she will get full support. I know she will from me. I hope to be working on another HILLARY FOR PRESIDENT  campaign in 2012. And, the DNC has rigged their last election. All eyes will be upon them from now on. Who really cares what the DNC thinks or says anymore.
