Romney Hillary Clinton 2008 Voters, Romney Hillary Clinton 2008 Down a couple points and looking to peel off some Obama supporters a week before the election, Mitt Romney made an explicit play Sunday for those who backed Hillary Clinton in the 2008 Democratic primaries.
"Your friends may have voted last time, perhaps in the Democratic primary, they may have voted for who knows? They may have voted or Hillary Clinton or they may have voted for Barack Obama, they may have voted for then-candidate Obama in the final election, but I need you to convince them to vote for Paul Ryan and me,” he said at a rally in Marion, Ohio, Sunday night.
“And that’s not always easy, but you can ask them this question… ‘do you think everything’s going just fine?’ Do you think we should just go just go you’re gonna say do you think should just go on like they’re going for the last four years? And if they have the same answer you just had then you have the number one argument why for why they should vote for us. Because our campaign is about fundamental change, our campaign is about real change, taking a course correction in this country."
One of the most famous moments from the 2008 primaries was used by Romney in an ad this cycle - Clinton denouncing the now-president with Ted Strickland by her side, saying, "Shame on you, Barack Obama - meet me in Ohio!"
But the Clinton wedge had already started to fade by the time the Democrats held their convention in Charlotte this cycle, when Bill Clinton gave a full-throated endorsement of Obama that was credited with giving the president a poll bump.Voters,
