Below is a Hillary Clinton press release. Like Hillary, Sarah Fisher is a “Doer and a Fighter”. And unlike Barack Obama, she’s no whiney wimp either. I bet Sarah can bowl better than Barack too.
**For Immediate Release**
May 5, 2008
INDIANAPOLIS, IN – Hoosiers for Hillary today announced the endorsement of groundbreaking IndyCar Series driver and team owner Sarah Fisher.
“We need a president who will stand up for us and be a fighter for Hoosiers and all Americans,” said Fisher, who will qualify for her seventh Indianapolis 500 this month. “Hillary will be a president who steers our country in the right direction and puts our economy back on track. Something Hillary and I have in common is our commitment to achieving our goals, leaving roadblocks behind and refusing to be knocked down. Hillary is a doer and a fighter who keeps getting out there, going for the checkered flag.”
“I’m honored to have Sarah’s support. Not only has she broken down barriers in her sport, but she continues to be a role model for young people aspiring to realize their dreams,” Clinton said. “Trailblazers like Sarah prove that with hard work and determination, anything is possible in our country.”
Fisher, 27, of Indianapolis, has competed in six Indianapolis 500s. She is the first woman to earn a pole position at an IndyCar Series event. Fisher is also the youngest woman ever to compete in the Indianapolis 500 at age 19 and the fastest female to qualify for the world’s greatest race, with a four-lap average of 229.439 mph in 2003. She is the first female owner/driver of an IndyCar Series team and will compete in the 92nd Indianapolis 500 on May 25.
I only have a second and I’m sorry this is OT, but I just wanted everyone to know that Sean Hannity is about to do a story on Bill Ayers stomping on the flag, as shown in Susan’s article from yesterday.
Yaay, Sarah Fisher and yaay Uppity Woman! Oh, yes - yaay Hillary!
A bit of a correction on what I wrote. The story I was thinking of about the Ayers photo was Larry’s story from May 3rd (”Stomp on This?” at http://tinyurl.com/5w7szm). Susan also has stories on this topic (”Greta Van Susteran, John Murtagh and I Have Some Questions” at http://tinyurl.com/63ef82, and “His Country Beneath His Feet, A Terrorist Holds Fast His Violent Visions” at http://tinyurl.com/5v8yap).
Thank you Sarah Fisher!

Kudos to Sarah!
Women who work in professions normally thought of as male-only, have a particular empathy with Clinton, because they KNOW the crap she has to deal with. And they understand that to get where she is took fortitude.
My thanks to Sarah Fisher — a wonderful endorsement.
And my sincere thanks to all progressive men (no you are not chopped liver!) and women who are cool with having a female CiC.
[…] that a woman will take the checkered flag at the Indy 500. It all could have fallen together. Sarah Fisher has even endorsed Hillary. Things just went terribly wrong for Hillary. The hubris of having no particular plan for the […]
