Clinton campaigns with family, GOP voter - Yahoo! News: "Clinton campaigns with family, GOP voter" By PHILIP ELLIOTT, Associated Press Writer CONCORD, N.H. - Democratic Hillary Rodham Clinton got by with a little help from her friends — Republican ones — and family on Friday. The presidential candidate, in a tight race with rival Barack Obama in the first primary state, was joined by her mother, Dorothy Rodham, and her daughter, Chelsea, as she appealed to female voters at the start of a two-day campaign swing. Rodham and the younger Clinton didn't address the crowd, but state Senate President Sylvia Larsen did. "I know about glass ceilings," said Larsen, only the third woman to lead the state legislative branch. Larsen said Clinton represented the United States on international trips, worked for children and families and was a major player in her husband's administration. "As first lady, she was both a strategist and an idealist," Larsen said. Clinton planned to tell New Hampshire voters how she reached across party lines and produced results — echoing television ads already on the air. She also dispatched supporters to vouch for her record and soften the sometimes harsh public caricature that has frustrated her campaign.
