WASHINGTON, Feb. 24 (UPI) -- Michigan Gov. Jennifer Granholm said Sunday Hillary Clinton was justified in her recent outburst against Democratic presidential rival Barack Obama.
When asked about the New York senator's recent "shame on you" harangue of her Senate colleague from Illinois, Granholm told CBS's "Face the Nation" Sunday Clinton was simply defending her position on healthcare in the United States.
"I'm sure she is going to be very passionate about it, and I think rightly so," the Michigan official said of Clinton's comment Saturday.
Arizona Gov. Janet Napolitano, an open Obama supporter, disagreed with that stance, saying Clinton's outburst was simply an attempt to regain control of the Democratic race.
"Obviously the momentum is with Barack Obama now, people are listening to his message. People understand what a great leader he can be, and the votes are following that reality," Napolitano said. "And so I heard in that tone of voice and in her selection of words just real frustration."
