<p>On the July 2 edition of Fox News&#39; <i>The Big
Story</i>, Kellyanne Conway -- the CEO and president of the polling company inc., who, according to the biography posted
on her company&#39;s website, "has provided
commentary on over 1,000 ... television shows" -- suggested that
Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (NY) would take
"revenge" against the more than <a href="http://mediamatters.org/rd?src=item200707030007&http://www.abcnews.go.com/Politics/wireStory?id=3325002" title="http://www.abcnews.go.com/Politics/wireStory?id=3325002">250,000 people</a> who have donated to Sen.
Barack Obama&#39;s (D-IL) presidential campaign. Conway
said: "[T]hese are 250,000-plus people who are willing to publicly go
against the Clintons.
That&#39;s remarkable to me because, you know, Hillary Clinton ... puts a lot of
energy into revenge." </p>

<p>Host John Gibson then asked her: "Revenge you say?
... Against common, old, everyday contributors out there, you think?" Conway justified her
allegation that Clinton is vengeful by citing unspecified
"evidence" in "two new biographies about her,"
presumably referring to <i><a href="http://mediamatters.org/rd?src=item200707030007&http://www.hachettebookgroupusa.com/books/51/0316017426/index.html" title="http://mediamatters.org/rd?src=item200707030007&http://www.hachettebookgroupusa.com/books/51/0316017426/index.html">Her

<p>From the July 2 edition of Fox News&#39; <i>The Big
Story with John Gibson</i>: </p><blockquote>

<p>CONWAY: I think
that&#39;s what&#39;s going to hurt [former New York City Mayor Rudy] Giuliani
[R] and [former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt] Romney [R] and Obama in the end, which
is you don&#39;t have enough Washington
experience when times are so tough.</p>

<p><b>Here&#39;s the other
thing, if you donate to Barack Obama&#39;s campaign or anyone&#39;s for that matter, you&#39;re
on record -- it&#39;s a matter of public record -- so these are 250,000-plus people
who are willing to publicly go against the Clintons. That&#39;s remarkable to me because,
you know, Hillary Clinton spends a lot of energy in -- in putting -- she puts a
lot of energy into revenge.</b> The other thing that&#39;s remarkable
is -- </p>

<p>GIBSON: Revenge you say?</p>

<p>CONWAY: Sure. The other thing that&#39;s
remarkable -- </p>

<p>GIBSON: Against common, old, every
day contributors out there, you think?</p>

<p>CONWAY: <b>Well, let&#39;s just read that the two new biographies about her -- from
folks who wouldn&#39;t be accused of being, you know, Republican or conservative
voters -- for more evidence of that.</b></p>

<p>But, John, the -- the other thing about
Barack Obama&#39;s rise in fundraising and sustenance is: He is seen as a fresh
alternative to politics as usual and I think that the fact that he raised
three-and-a-half times what [Sen.] John McCain [R-AZ] raised this quarter says
something, too. He&#39;s got a lot of money on -- on hand. The other thing is,
people are not giving to Hillary Clinton because they don&#39;t know her. They&#39;re
not giving to her as much because they do know her. If you&#39;re Hillary Clinton,
you have 110 percent name I.D. What is your money really going to buy you in
the end?</p>

<p>

GIBSON: [Fox News political analyst]
Juan Williams, is -- there&#39;s another way to look at it and I&#39;m sure that in
Democratic circles where Hillary Clinton&#39;s still the favorite, this seems like
an awfully expensive vice presidential nomination for Mr.
Obama.</p></blockquote><table width="100%" style="background: #e8e8e8;
