"We've got to get back to where we can trust our government again," the New York Democrat said while campaigning in the early primary state.

"I think America is ready to have a president ... that will create alliances, not alienation, and I know America is ready for a president who will once and for all end the war in Iraq."
Supporters lauded Mrs. Clinton's performance in Thursday night's first-in-the-season debates, saying she proved herself the most experienced contender.
