OMAHA — Another Clinton is coming to Omaha to help Girls Incorporated.

Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton has been scheduled to speak at a fundraiser on Oct. 21.

The New York Democrat’s husband, former President Bill Clinton, spoke to about 2,500 people two years ago at the Qwest Center in Omaha to help raise money for Girls Inc. The organization provides educational and recreational programs to girls.

" Nice of her to make it to Nebraska AFTER she dropped out of the race. Before, we weren't important enough to boost her campaign, so why worry about the "little people."
She just as well stay in NY. "

" Yay! She's my idol, so I'm definitely gonna make sure I get to see her. Hillary for President in 2012! "

" Maybe Hillary needs a little humble pie. What has she accomplished as a baby boomer in the Deep South and NY working in bi-partisan fashion? Well-prepared questions and a $15 million book. These baby boomers have not accomplished a great deal in the wake of the Civil Rights era and the end of the Cold War. Big talk on the economy, tiny efforts in government. Pseudo education reform. Public and private fundraising dependent on the election cycles and the public trough, that's my complaint. And Sarah Palin? Weak preparation for a political career, typical sexist manipulation and machine politics by Republican. "
