This morning, on the third day as a declared candidate, she visited the World Trade Center to draw attention to the ill health of many firefighters, police officers and others who responded on Sept 11.

Tonight she begins three nights of live video webcasts. She says she’ll answer questions about Iraq, health care and energy dependence.
