SARATOGA SPRINGS -- U.S. Sen. Hillary Clinton visited Saratoga Race Course on Saturday where she discussed the importance of promoting rural economies.
Clinton, who is seeking re-election in November, also visited Day Star Technologies at the Saratoga Technology & Energy Park in Malta.
She's slated to deliver a speech on Monday in Niagara County about rural economic development.
'A lot of people don't realize how rural New York state is,' she said.
Clinton, D-N.Y., entered the track at the Clubhouse Gate and held a brief press conference, accompanied by Albany Mayor Jerry Jennings.
From there she worked her way through the crowd, meeting and speaking with well-wishers.
'I'm doing the same thing I've been doing for the past seven years,' she said. 'Mostly listening to people, working with people. I need their support.'

There were two important Stakes Races on Saturday and I expected that she would make the trophy presentation at one of them. I was wondering how intense the booing would be, but I guess Hillary knew what I knew. They hate her there, and she snuck out as steathily as she snuck in.
I love this quote at the end of the article:
'I'm doing the same thing I've been doing for the past seven years,' she said. 'Mostly listening to people, working with people. I need their support.'She thinks she is still running for election, but she's supposed to be a Senator now.

She needed to run a course. Even without a jockey.

Sucking blood, of course.
What a jerk. She's preaching to the choir.
That is clintionese for as backward as Arkansas.
...At the toniest thoroughbred track in New York. Har. Now that's comedy.
I can't be responsible for every undercapitalized small business in America.
Because I am making sure they are completely banished.
