Clinton on first upstate New York swing since campaign

SYRACUSE (AP) - Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton is back in
upstate New York talking about weather-beaten apples, green power
and her state's downtrodden economy, just a month after the end of
her historic run for president of the United States.

For Clinton, who was a frequent visitor to upstate New York before devoting herself to the presidential run, the swing was her second trip outside the New York City metro area since hitting the New York State Fair in Syracuse in August. Her only other public appearance upstate was at Gov. David Paterson's inauguration in Albany in March.

Clinton is talking green power in Syracuse, then visiting damaged apple orchards in Wayne County and the Geneva area. She'll end her day in Buffalo at the ceremonial opening of the Erie Canal Harbor.

Does she visit Arkansas very often? Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh---that's right--she CHOSE to represent the state of New York----and New York CHOSE to let her...........hmmmmm........Surely you CHOSE her because she was the best person for the job, correct? And because she grew up in New York and had such strong ties to New York, you knew she would do a great job for New York.....but WAIT---I forgot--she is not from New York--she was born in Illinois and then lived in Arkansas!!!! Did she just USE NY??????

Nice to see she is back at "work". Must be nice to take nearly a year off to pursue another job then return when those other plans fail (horribly).

That doesn't seem true: Iwouldn't exactly call Hillary a "frequent Visitor" to Upstate. The only time I can ever remember her coming here is to supprot Mike Arcuri before the other two mentioned visits. I guess "frequent" is subjective but I don't agree at all, and now question why WKTV, whom I respect, would say such a thing? This woman is a perpetual campaigner to me.. and many of my frind's I think would agree. I guess that's why the "Hillary's Comet" thing started. This is just wrong.
