Clinton, Giuliani hit trail

BUFFALO - Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton detoured from the presidential battleground states Wednesday to campaign at home in New York, where Democrats see a chance for meaningful gains in the state Senate and Congress.

And Rudy Giuliani, once Clinton's potential presidential rival, carried the Republican mantle at several upstate stops of his own.

The appearances by the parties' big guns follow substantial cash infusions into upstate races from the national organizations.
