Clinton Turns Focus to Poverty
"With less than a week until Ohio holds its Democratic primary contest, Sen. Hillary Clinton is traveling to the poorest parts of the state in an effort to highlight her poverty agenda and draw in low-income voters," the reports.
"The candidate who best connects with the poor could have an edge in the Ohio contest on Tuesday. Parts of the state have poverty rates as high as 27%, according to the 2000 Census. The state is poorer than the national average, and Cleveland is the nation's poorest large city, with nearly half its children living in poverty."
It's also likely an attempt to attract an endorsement from John Edwards, who made fighting poverty the centerpiece of his campaign.
