Hillary Clinton stood with Gov. Cuomo on Thursday to support his bid for a second term but many people at the Manhattan rally seemed more interested in her expected White House bid than this years election.

As Clinton moved to the podium, shouts of 2016! 2016! erupted in the Grand Hyatt ballroom, a more raucous reception than the one Cuomo would receive minutes later.

And when she finished with her introduction of the governor, about two dozen attendees quietly filed out the door, not even bothering to stay to hear Cuomos remarks.

Clinton has been touring the U.S. for weeks helping Democrats, and she usually overshadows the candidates she endorses.

This was her first such public event in the city, which is essentially her adopted home town after having served eight years as a senator from New York.

When he took the stage, Cuomo teased at the idea of Clinton running for President in 2016. I hope she does something really, really, really big, he said.

But Cuomo wont be advising her. Its a personal decision, he told reporters afterward. I went through this with another person, named Mario Cuomo, where there was a discussion for many years.

He added, You have to really want to do it . . . . You cant advise. Its like advising someone on whether or not they should marry a person.

In her remarks, Clinton heaped praise on Cuomos Womens Equality Agenda, a cornerstone of his effort to appeal to female voters.

Theres no doubt in my mind that the governor is the right leader, at the right time, with the right plan, Clinton told the crowd of about 500 Democrats.

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton will be in Maine on Friday afternoon to campaign for Mike Michaud.

The Democratic Congressman is fighting to take the Blaine House away from Republican Gov. Paul Lepage.

Michaud has received support from Bill Clinton and Michelle Obama.

President Barack Obama is coming to Maine on Thursday to stump for Michaud.

Critics of the Democratic congressman said he needs these big political names to prop him up because he is a weak candidate with a thin record.

"With just 11 days until the election, Democrats are still desperately trying to consolidate liberal support for Congressman Michaud after a disastrous series of debate performances made clear that he is unable to articulate policy positions or even answer the most basic questions about his vision for Maine," Maine Republican Party chairman Rick Bennett said in a statement.

"Mrs. Clinton is on a campaign tour, stumping for any Democrat with a pulse in an attempt to shore up her own presidential aspirations, Bennett said.

Independent Eliot Cutler, who has been polling a distant third in the governor's race, said Friday that Michaud needs to consider stepping aside.

In a Friday morning press release, Cutler is quoted as saying, Maine voters have increasingly come to realize that Mike Michaud cant close the deal with voters -- he cant win, whether Im in the race or not.

Cutlers campaign said Michaud will lose in a head-to-head match-up with LePage even though several major independent polls show the congressman winning in such a scenario.

BOSTON (AP) Hillary Clinton, on a whirlwind tour of New England to boost Democratic gubernatorial candidates ahead of the November elections, hammered on womens and family issues at a campaign rally Friday for Martha Coakley in downtown Boston.

In a forceful voice that brought loud applause from a packed ballroom crowd, Clinton touched on many of the issues that have been the focus for Democratic campaigns across the country in this midterm election: equal pay, better child care, sick day and family leave benefits, reproductive rights.

We desperately need to continue the fight, the struggle, the progress, she told the crowd at the Park Plaza Hotel. You have to ask yourself: Why, after women have contributed so much to our economy, some people still act like its 1955. Isnt it amazing that were still debating that women deserve equal pay for equal work?

Too many women still are earning minimum wage, Clinton said, working in jobs like hairdressers and waitresses where they are expected to earn their pay largely through tips.

So many women are working harder than ever to lift themselves and their families into the middle class, and so many more are trying to stay in the middle class, she said.

The former first lady, secretary of state, U.S. senator and likely 2016 presidential candidate also recounted her challenges being a young working mother raising daughter Chelsea, who recently gave birth to her first child, Charlotte.

In a folksy tone, she wrapped up her 25-minute-long remarks talking about how she swapped stories of children and grandchildren before the rally with other prominent politicians, including U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren and Gov. Deval Patrick.

When all is said and done, thats what this is all about: How do we give the best future for every child, said Clinton, who was set to head to Providence, Rhode Island, to campaign for Democratic gubernatorial candidate Gina Raimondo later Friday.

She was also expected to appear in Maine on Friday to campaign with Democratic gubernatorial nominee Rep. Mike Michaud.
