Clinton comes to New England to raise money for two governors
PORTLAND, Maine — New York Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton came to New England on Friday to raise money for two governors and for herself at events in Maine and Massachusetts while avoiding setting foot in New Hampshire, the state with the first presidential primary.

During a fundraising luncheon for Gov. John Baldacci at a downtown hotel, Clinton attacked President Bush for adopting tax cuts while running up the deficit, for failing to create jobs and for cutting social programs. She also blamed the "right wing" for a lack of bipartisanship and for bringing down the Supreme Court nomination of Harriet Miers.

"We have to stand against this radical right-wing agenda in Washington," Clinton said to a roar of approval from more than 200 Democrats who paid $500 apiece to hear her speech.

Clinton did not address the indictment of the vice president´s chief of staff, I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby Jr., on charges of obstruction of justice, perjury and making false statements. The indictments were announced about 20 minutes before she spoke.

sings, and says it all.

Especially if you're out to frame the debate, and our opponents.
