Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Hillary Clinton addresses supporters in Ohio.
"You know, I want to thank the wonderful people of Ohio for your support and your confidence in me. I especially want to thank Governor Ted Strickland and his wonderful wife, Frances.
You know, Governor and Mrs. Strickland are working so hard on behalf of Ohio, and they deserve a president who will work hard with them to give Ohio the future that you deserve.
I want to thank Senator John Glenn and his wonderful wife, Annie. I want to thank Lieutenant Governor Lee Fisher and his wife, Peggy. And I especially want to thank Congresswoman Stephanie Tubbs Jones. She does an extraordinary job for her constituents. And she has been a champion on behalf of the people of Ohio and America. And I look forward to working with her to bring more opportunity to the people that she loves and represents so well.
I want to thank my extraordinary staff, volunteers, and supporters here in Ohio and across America. And I especially want to thank the two most important people in my life, Bill and Chelsea. And, of course, to my mother, who I know is watching, thanks very much, Mom, for everything.
And, finally, to Senator Obama, who has brought so much to this race, I look forward to continuing our dialogue in the weeks ahead on the issues that matter most to our country.
I want to end by sharing with you a message that I got late last month from someone who didn’t have much money to spare, but sent me $10 for my campaign and sent an e-mail in which she wrote, “My two daughters are two and four. And we chant and cheer for you at every speech we see. I want them to know anything is possible.” Tonight, I say to them: Keep on watching. Together, we’re going to make history.
To those little girls, I say: This is America. And we do believe you can be anything you want to be. And we want our sons and our daughters to dream big. I have big dreams for America’s future. The question is not whether we can fulfill those dreams; it’s whether we will. And here’s our answer: Yes, we will.
We will do what it takes, and we will, once again, make the kind of progress that America deserves. We’re going to protect our country and preserve our Constitution. We’re going to lead with our values.
We will reach out to those on the margins and in the shadows, because that’s what we do in America. We break barriers; we open doors; we make sure every voice is heard.
Together, we will turn promises into action, words into solutions, and hope into reality. It will take leadership and hard work, but we’ve never been short on either. So I hope all of you will join, join with the Ohioans whose voices and votes have been heard today. Together we will seize this moment, lift this nation, and heal and lead this world.
