Taking on Special Interests - and Obama as well. This is what she needs to do!
More, please....

Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton, criticized for taking corporate special interest contributions, proposed restrictions on a wide array of industries Thursday and stepped up her assault on rival Barack Obama, casting him as the candidate more beholden to corporations.
In a speech to General Motors workers and executives, Clinton trumped Obama's own economic plan from a day before and appeared to be channeling former rival John Edwards' populist anti-corporate message.
And she went after Obama on Exelon - this is EXACTLY what I've been waiting for her to do:
Waving a pair of blue boxing gloves, Clinton was in a combative mood Thursday.
"We need a champion and a fighter in the White House," she declared. The gloves were in honor of middleweight boxing champion Kelly Pavlik of Youngstown, Ohio.
Clinton went after Obama, tying him to nuclear interests and blaming for doing little to stave off job losses in Illinois.
"My opponent says that he'll take on the special interests," she said. "Well, he told people he stood up to the nuclear industry and passed a bill against them. But he actually let the nuclear industry water down his bill the bill never actually passed."

This is how to win in Texas, Ohio, Pennsylvania - maybe even Wisconsin! This is how to turn it around and win this thing.
