CINCINNATI (AP) - Hillary Rodham Clinton is calling herself the
"candidate of, from and for the middle class of America."
In Ohio today, she's been focusing on maintaining support among
working-class Democrats, even as Barack Obama gained the
endorsement of an almost 2-million-member union.
Clinton has been delivering a tough new populist message,
sharpening her criticism of Obama and presenting herself as better
schooled in government policy.
At a round-table discussion focused on her plan to address
credit card abuses, she also spoke in detail about a range of
economic issues. She pledged to end all tax breaks to "anybody who
exports a job," and declared it "wrong" that a millionaire money
manager could pay a lower tax rate than a teacher, nurse or truck
driver.
She closed saying the choice for Democrats is "speeches or
solutions."
