LORDSTOWN, Ohio (Reuters) - Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton accused rival Barack Obama of lacking substance and experience on Thursday as she fought for political traction after a string of losses.

Former Republican candidate Mitt Romney, working to unify his party behind one-time rival Sen. John McCain, decided to endorse the all-but-certain nominee McCain with a ceremony planned in Boston.

Brandishing a pair of blue boxing gloves given to her at a General Motors automobile plant, Clinton portrayed herself as a fighter and Obama as someone who makes a lot of speeches that sound good but do not offer solutions.

"That's the difference between me and my opponent. My opponent makes speeches. I offer solutions. It is one thing to get people excited. I want to empower you," the New York senator said.

don't want to buy: "I'm in ur paychex, garnishing ur wagez."
