Hillary Clinton tells Ohio supporters: 'No Palin'

ELYRIA, Ohio - Campaigning for Barack Obama in battleground Ohio, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton signaled out Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin on Sunday by using a slightly revised applause-line delivered at last month's Democratic convention.

Clinton told a crowd of 1,200 supporters — many wearing "Hillary for President" T-shirts leftover from her bitter primary fight with Obama — that Palin and Republican presidential nominee John McCain would only continue the failed policies of President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney.

"No way, no how, no McCain and no Palin," she said as the audience erupted in cheers.

Clinton campaigned heavily in the state in the weeks leading up to her March 4 Democratic primary win, and she returned to economically troubled northeast Ohio on Sunday to urge her supporters to work just as hard for Obama and Joe Biden, the Democratic nominees for president and vice president.

"This election is going to be a game-changer," Clinton said at Lorain County Community College, about 30 miles east of Cleveland. "We have the opportunity to go beyond the failed policies of the last eight years."

Rep. Betty Sutton of Akron, a Clinton supporter during the April and May primaries, introduced a recently laid-off Ohio auto plant worker, who then introduced Clinton.
