— CHAPPAQUA, N.Y. (AP) — Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton has cast her vote for Barack Obama, saying that voters understand that the nation needs “a serious president for serious times.”
Clinton voted Tuesday with her husband, former President Bill Clinton, in their hometown of Chappaqua in New York’s Westchester County.
The senator was asked if she felt sorry that her name was not on the ballot. She replied: “The personal honor and privilege I had of being a candidate and coming so close is something I’ll always be proud of.”
Sen. Clinton said she hopes “to be part of what I hope will be a great next couple of years for America.”
She added: “I feel very good about what’s going to happen today.”
