Cedar Rapids Gazette: Clinton Pledges Change
Democrat Hillary Clinton promised Monday to change the nation's direction as president by rebuilding the middle class while turning out "the cronies and ending the corruption" that have gripped Washington during the Bush-Cheney years...

In a Democratic primary where numerous candidates are describing themselves as the agents of change, Hillary Clinton simultaneously laid her own claim to the "change" mantle and emphasized the importance of political experience.
