Clinton, Veering Left, Lashes Out at Lenders
Maybe this is smart politics, but it seems like pure demagoguery to me.

DERRY, N.H. — Senator Clinton, buffeted by criticism from the left wing of the Democratic Party for her stance on the Iraq war and her acceptance of donations from lobbyists, is setting her sights on lunch pail domestic issues such as home ownership and lashing out at "unsavory" mortgage lenders. During a campaign appearance here yesterday, the tone was set for a day of fiery progressive rhetoric with an introduction of the senator by a mother of three who recently lost her home to foreclosure, Kristi Schofield. Mrs. Clinton took the podium and asked the local press and Ms. Schofield's mortgage lender, Ameriquest, for assistance.
