Uncut: Clinton addresses crowd in Mississippi


(NECN: Hattiesburg, Miss.) - Democratic presidential hopeful Hillary Rodham Clinton began her day in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, which votes Tuesday. In a speech there, she acknowledged a likely Barack Obama win in Mississippi, but said she wanted people to know that whether or not they're for her, she's for them.

"I'm well aware that Senator Obama has an enormous amount of support here, as he should, as he should have," Clinton said.

"Some people have said 'Well Mississippi is very much a state that will most likely be in favor of Senator Obama.' I said 'Well, that's fine,' but I want people in Mississippi to know I'm for you."

With the contest down to a state-by-state hunt for convention delegates after her wins this week in primaries in Texas, Ohio and Rhode Island, Clinton hopes to pick up as many of Mississippi's 33 delegates as she can.
