Clinton says New Hampshire taught her about 'grit'

By KEN THOMAS

NASHUA, N.H. (AP) — Returning to New Hampshire, Hillary Rodham Clinton thanked voters Sunday for teaching her about "grit and determination" during her 2008 presidential campaign, reaching for her family's old political magic to help fellow Democrats.

The former secretary of state campaigned in New Hampshire for the first time since October 2008, joining with two of the state's most vulnerable Democrats — Sen. Jeanne Shaheen and Gov. Maggie Hassan — in an all-female pitch to voters in the midterm election's final weekend.

Clinton's visit stoked speculation about another presidential run, capping a two-month string of campaign appearances in the nation's top Senate and gubernatorial battlegrounds.

"Starting way back in 1991 you opened your homes and your hearts to us," Clinton said, recalling the first presidential bid of her husband, former President Bill Clinton. "And in 2008, during the darkest days of my campaign, you lifted me up, you gave me my voice back, you taught me so much about grit and determination."

I'm not a Hillary fan, but I have to give her that. Then again, sometimes there is too much of a good thing.
