Clinton Feels Vets Pain; Hour-Long Q&A Finds Few Disagreements
Doesn't Mention Obama or McCain; Promises to Bring Troops Home Within 60 Days of Election

We are still in the primaries, right? While certainly not as stage-managed as a Bush rally in past presidential races and the questions were seemingly heartfelt and from actual West Virginia-area veterans and other invitation-only guests, Senator Hillary Clinton's 'town hall meeting' Wednesday at the American Legion Hall on Sixth Avenue was notable as much for what she didn't say as what she did. What she didn't say were the names of her two opponents, Senators Barack Obama and Sen. John McCain.
What she did talk about were veterans issues. And she seemingly couldn't find a single thing that the questioners asked about that she didn't in one way or another say she agreed with, would take care of or look into should she become the next Commander in Chief. Click on a pic to watch and listen.
