Hillary rocks the 50B

Yeah, baby -- go New Hampshire students, voters, PLWHAs and bird-doggers! Here's the report from the Hillary Clinton afterparty after last night's Democratic debate at Dartmouth: WHO: Hillary Clinton + St. Mike's amazing students + Steph + Erin WHERE: Hanover, NH WHAT: At Hillary Clinton's afterparty, got in some handshakes: Kate: Senator Clinton, will you support $50 billion over 5 years for global AIDS? Hillary: I'm sure going to try to. a few minutes later, as she headed to her car... Madison: John Edwards committed $50 billion to global AIDS over 5 years, will you as well? Hillary: Yes.

Madison: $50 billion for 5 years for global AIDS? Hillary: Absolutely, I support it.

NEXT STEPS: Clearly, this is a big step in the right direction. We just need a public commitment from her on the $50 billion. LESSONS LEARNED: Might've been good to yell something encouraging about global AIDS when she spoke about global leadership. St. Mike's students are amazing (but we all already knew that!) Afterparties are packed, but definitely worth it! AIDSVote and 08 Stop AIDS activists are making a difference -- join us by emailing info@aidsvote.org.
