Democratic Presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton campaigned in New Hampshire today.

After stops in Concord, The New York Senator ended her visit with a speech at state Democratic Party fundraiser.

New Hampshire Public Radio’s Josh Rogers has more.

Clinton congratulated state Democrats for their 2006 election wins and told them she was ready to face and defeat Republicans in 2008.

In between, the New York Senator told the crowd of party loyalists that the last six years have seen the president and GOP leaders treat working and middle class people as if they were what she called "invisible Americans":

"If you are a hardworking single parent who can't afford health insurance, or a small business owner who worries about energy costs, or a student who can't afford to continue college, you are invisible to this administration."

Clinton's visit helped Democrats raise about 200 thousand dollars. Party officials said yesterday's event was the most successful fundraiser of its kind in state party history.
