No New York state of mind

Hillary Clinton might represent New York in the U.S. Senate, but it’s the Midwest that gets the plug.
“I grew up in a middle-class family in the middle of America,� she says in the video in which she declares her candidacy for president.
Illinois. Solid middle America.
“While I can’t visit everyone’s living room, I can try,� she says while sitting on a sofa, and it’s a nice nowhere yet everywhere moment.
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.
She and other politicians from New York demanded President Bush provide more federal money for treatment.
Tonight she begins three nights of live video webcasts. She says she’ll answer questions about Iraq, health care and energy dependence.
