Long apologizes for actions during service
NEW YORK, Sept. 16 (UPI) -- U.S. Sen. Hillary Clinton acknowledged Tuesday Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin's vice presidential nomination has created a lot of excitement among Americans.
If Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., is elected president in November, Palin would become the first female vice president.
But Clinton, who lost the Democratic presidential nomination to Barack Obama, told ABC News' "Good Morning America" the excitement surrounding Palin is not reason enough for voters to support the Republicans' McCain-Palin ticket.
"A lot of people are missing the boat here," Clinton said. "There's a lot of talk in the country about who are you for in this election, but that's not the right question. The right question is, who is for you."
Clinton also said Delaware Sen. Joe Biden is a good running mate for Obama.
"We have a great Democratic vice presidential candidate," Clinton said. "Joe Biden is a friend of mine. He's been a strong leader both on issues here at home when it comes to the economy and the stresses on middle class working families, and he understands the strategic challenges that we face around the world.
