Hillary comments on planted question from student

At a campaign stop in Newton, Iowa on Tuesday, Hillary Clinton fielded a question from a member of the audience, Muriel Gallo-Chasanoff:

"As a young person, I'm worried about the long-term effects of global warming. How does your plan combat climate change?"

The Senator began her response with this:

"Well, you should be worried. You know, I find as I travel around Iowa that it's usually young people that ask me about global warming."

According to Gallo-Chasanoff, "they wanted a question from a college student."

Clinton campaign staff admitted to the plant but denied that the candidate was aware of the planted question. Whether Hillary was involved in the plant or not, it is hardly surprising that "it's usually young people" who ask her about global warming.

John Edwards' campaign referred to this strategy as the "politics of planting".
