Politics on the Hudson

Hillary Clinton, who seems poised to receive the backing of New York’s CSEA at a press conference in Albany tonight, picked up a key California endorsement today: Sen. Dianne Feinstein.

“This is a very special moment for me because I have the opportunity to endorse the campaign of a U.S. Senator who I believe will be the first female President of the United States,â€? Feinstein said in a press release sent out by Clinton’s campaign.

“Hillary Clinton, I believe, has the experience, the heart, and the strength to be a great American President,” she continued. “There has been no election for President where change is as defined and necessary as this one.  The question is who is best equipped to lead that change. I believe it is Hillary.â€?
