Clinton - The Most Famous Person You Don't Know

On NBC Today this morning, Hillary Clinton responded to accusations that she was perceived negatively, saying that she is "the most famous person that you don't know".

Clinton is asking people to draw their own conclusions on her as a person, and those that have met her, such as in New York have warmed to her. She also encouraged people to tune in to her video chats on her website every evening this week at 7pm (ET).

Pressed on the Iraq issue, Clinton would not admit that she made a mistake, and made a thinly veiled attack on John Edwards, saying that she is not backwards looking and is in the middle of trying to find a solution in Congress, not on the sidelines.

This issue is unlikley to go away - Edwards who has said that he made a mistake on the Iraq war, will push Clinton all the way to admit that she was wrong.

Clinton said that her husband former President Clinton would be a tremendous asset for her on the campaign trail, he has vast experience and is involved in numerous activities throughout the world.

On the State of the Union this evening, Clinton said that she was looking forward to hearing it, but was not hopeful of movements on things like health care. She said that everywhere she goes, she hears a great discouragement about the President's leadership.
