Sen. Hillary Clinton and former president Bill Clinton pose for pictures while making a stop at a sausage tent at the New York State Fair in Syracuse, N.Y., Friday, Sept. 1, 2006. Clinton made her annual pilgrimage to the fair at the end of a three-day swing through New York farm country. The trip has served to boost Clinton's visibility in the state's Finger Lakes wine region and other rural parts of central New York, a predominantly Republican region where she would need to do well if she runs for president in 2008.

Clintons take her campaign to the fair SYRACUSE, N.Y. Former President Bill Clinton says he's not pressuring his wife to run for president.

Senator Hillary Clinton reached out today to a core group of supporters _ women _ in her front-running bid for a second term, a race many see as a prelude to a run for president in two years. The former first lady planned campaign stops at the site of the new home for the National Women's Hall of Fame in Seneca Falls and a restaurant in Moravia to host lunch for a new group _ "Moms for Hillary."

In a private meeting at her Chappaqua, N.Y., home on Friday, Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton offered to help Ned Lamont in his battle to unseat Senator Joseph I. Lieberman by sponsoring a fund-raiser, campaigning by his side and lending him one of her top political strategists. That strategist, Howard Wolfson, said Mrs. Clinton wanted to throw her considerable political weight behind Mr. Lamont because the national Republican Party “is clearly invested in Ned Lamont’s defeat.” “I think they are going to do what they can to see him defeated,” Mr. Wolfson said, adding that he was particularly concerned with “Bush-Cheney...

As Ned Lamont basks in his Democratic primary victory in Connecticut, another antiwar underdog is trying to assume the same role of political giant-killer in next month’s elections in New York, though against much bigger prey: Hillary Rodham Clinton. But while Mr. Lamont united liberals and used $4 million of his own money to win his primary, Jonathan Tasini is struggling on a shoestring campaign to rise above his 12 percent standing in the polls, even as he hawks a message of left-wing anger over Iraq to an electorate that is more liberal than Connecticut’s. Mr. Tasini has qualified for...

With only a few weeks until New York’s Sept. 12 primary elections, many people are probably still unaware that Senator Hillary Clinton is facing a challenge for the Democratic nomination. Her opponent, Jonathan Tasini, is low on almost everything, from funds to name recognition. Mrs. Clinton has successfully ignored Mr. Tasini all summer, and now it seems clear that she has no intention of responding to his demands that she meet him in a debate. She should change her mind. In a year when New York has very few competitive elections, voters are going to get very little chance to...

NEW YORK -- Senator Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., took time out from an event commemorating 9/11 to take a swipe at a campaign commercial by John Spencer, her likely Republican opponent in November. In the commercial, slated to run in New York City and on suburban cable stations, Spencer, the former mayor of Yonkers, accuses Clinton of being soft on national security issues and as such, aiding al-Qaida strongman Osama bin Laden. It was Clinton who helped lead the Democratic attempt to filibuster the renewal of the Patriot Act, though she eventually voted for it. The controversial Spencer commercial proceeds to...

Can Tasini Pull a Lamont?Underdog Hillary challenger thinks so, even if nobody else does; in basement HQ, he wonders why voters don’t see the parallels with Lieberman. By Geoffrey Gray Jonathan Tasini is walking the wrong way down Fifth Avenue. It’s just past noon the day after antiwar insurgent Ned Lamont beat stubbornly pro-war Joe Lieberman in Connecticut, and it ought to be the biggest day of Tasini’s campaign yet, since he’s been sounding the same themes against Hillary Clinton. He’d put this trip to the New York Public Library on his schedule, but the media didn’t seem to care...

Sen. Clinton arrives ready to raise funds in East End; curtails questions about debate before primary U.S. Sen.

Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton embarked on her first major day of campaigning in her re-election bid yesterday, but wound up facing a flurry of questions about Senator Joseph I. Lieberman’s defeat by an antiwar candidate in the Connecticut Democratic primary. In turn, Mrs. Clinton, a potential 2008 presidential candidate who has come under attack herself because of her refusal to apologize for voting to authorize the use of military force in Iraq, sought to distance herself from Mr. Lieberman. “I think there is a great deal of difference,’’ Mrs. Clinton told reporters during a stop at a center for the...

Hillary Clinton is wasting no time turning Bush administration cuts in counterterrorism funding for New York City to her political advantage - invoking the budget slashing to her supporters as another reason they should contribute to her Senate reelection campaign.

Senator Hillary Clinton is using a new campaign video to boast that she's delivered on her promise to bring economic development to upstate New York - even though the region has actually lost tens of thousands of jobs since she was elected.

HEMPSTEAD, N.Y., May 31 — Republicans set the stage Wednesday for what could be a bitter primary battle in the bid to challenge Hillary Rodham Clinton for the United States Senate, with delegates at the state party's convention giving two candidates enough support to qualify them for the Sept. 12 primary ballot. John Spencer, the former mayor of Yonkers, who has trumpeted his conservative credentials, secured more than 63 percent of the votes from delegates, making him the official designee of the state party. But Kathleen Troia McFarland, a former Reagan aide who is viewed as more moderate, surprised many...

Hillary Clinton failed to answer the question on everybody's lips. But the song she was jiving to said it all.Launching her Senate re-election campaign at a rally in Buffalo, New York, she refrained from revealing whether she intended to serve a full six-year term or might cut it short to run for the presidency in 2008. But it was no coincidence that when she was joined by her husband and former president Bill Clinton the chorus of the 1970s song they danced to was "We're going to get right back to where we started from", leaving her Democrat supporters in...

Hillary Rodham Clinton this year was endorsed Wednesday by state GOP Chairman Stephen Minarik. " I think he'll provide an excellent challenge to Hillary Clinton," Minarik told The Associated Press.

BUFFALO, N.Y. — Hillary Rodham Clinton, a possible presidential run waiting in the wings, was kicking off her bid for a second Senate term with what was certain to be a rousing send-off Wednesday from delegates to New York's Democratic state convention.

Some Manhattan Democratic clubs are launching a backlash against Sen. Hillary Clinton amid some of her recent shifts toward the right.

YONKERS -- The New York Post calls K.T. McFarland ‘kooky.’ How kooky? Well, maybe instead of running for Senator, she’s really auditioning for a Get Smart remake.
