U.S. Presidential Candidate Hillary Clinton admits that is pretty pathetic to appear on Comedy Central's "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart" the night before the Texas and Ohio primaries.

NEW YORK, NEW YORK, USA (MARCH 3, 2008) (COMEDY CENTRAL ) - U.S. Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton appears on Comedy Central's "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart". Clinton's appearance comes one night before voters in Ohio and Texas cast their choice for the Democratic nominee in the U.S. President. She appeared live via satellite after speaking at a rally in Austin, Texas.

The first question talk show host, Jon Stewart asked Hillary Clinton was about her choice to appear on the show at this time in the campaign. He said, "Senator, let me get right into this. This election is about judgment. Tomorrow is perhaps one of the most important days of your life, and yet you have chosen to spend the night before talking to me. Senator, as a host I'm delighted, as a citizen, frightened. Your response? Clinton responded by saying, "It is pretty pathetic."

Clinton's husband, former President Bill Clinton, has said she needs to win both states to continue her campaign, a view shared by many analysts. Polls show tight races in both. Even a split decision in the two states would leave her with a steep climb to overtake rival Barack Obama's lead of roughly 150 pledged convention delegates who select the nominee, and increase the pressure on her to quit.

Clinton said that she feels good about her chances of winning both Ohio and Texas. She said, "You know, I am feeling really good. I love both Texas and Ohio because they are states that are complex and there is a lot of variety in each of them. You know, my first job in politics was in Texas, going down to south Texas, helping to register voters and there are still people who have been my friends all of those years."

As Clinton battles Obama, Jon Stewart asked if there was a difference between her message of 'experience' and Obama's message of 'hope'. Stewart said, "When I listen to the speeches sometimes, it almost makes you feel like this idea between experience and hope, as though in Washington those two are mutually exclusive. That if you have worked in Washington a long time, if you have the experience that it kills the hope inside you. Does that place you in an awkward position? You are someone that I think probably values yourself as idealist for all those years. Are you uncomfortable in the role of chastising someone's idealism. Is that an uncomfortable place for you to be?" Clinton responded, "No because I really admire that. The ability to inspire and get people involved that we've seen from Senator Obama is wonderful. I believe it's important that we remember the job has to be just a daily getting up and doing it, and I try to mix both of those because obviously I wouldn't be doing this if I didn't care deeply about changing our country and knowing that we could do better."

Voting ends in Ohio at 7:30 p.m. EST (0030 GMT on Wednesday) and all voting in Texas will be over by 9 p.m. EST (0200 GMT on Wednesday).
