NEW YORK — Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton marched for labor and stumped with Democrats on Saturday but sidestepped questions about the woman who has taken her place as the nation’s most-talked-about female politician.
Clinton brushed aside questions about Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin during appearances at New York City’s annual Labor Day parade and later during a stop on Staten Island.
“This election is about issues, and that’s what’s going to matter to people at the end of the day,” she told reporters.
She mentioned Palin by name only once during the day, at the labor breakfast, when she uttered a modified version of a line from her speech at the Democratic National Convention. “No way, no how, no McCain, no Palin,” she said.
