"U.S. Senator Hillary Clinton said she chose Berlin to launch her New Hampshire campaign for president because she wanted to send a message that rural areas in this country are struggling.

'I'm starting in the North Country for a simple reason -- I want to be a president who represents all of America. Our small towns, our rural areas, places that need some extra help and attention to be as prosperous in the 21st century as you were in the 20th century,' she said.
