The turnabout helps explain why Clinton is romping to reelection in November -- and may offer clues about how she plans to run for president, if she chooses to take that plunge. Loved and hated nationally as a liberal crusader who sought to reinvent the country's healthcare system in one audacious swoop, Clinton is widely seen in her adopted home state as something else entirely: a bipartisan problem-solver who has never seen an issue too parochial for her concern. Garry Douglas, president of the Plattsburgh-North Country Chamber of Commerce, said his organization presented Clinton with a wish list of roughly a dozen items during her first campaign, including a new crossing at the nearby Canadian border and expanded broadband access for the rural region .

"American Airlines and industry officials said the twin-engine MD-80s -- with an average age of 18 years, they are the oldest in the carrier's fleet -- were grounded because they had failed to "technically" meet Federal Aviation Administration requirements on how wires in the wheel wells were bundled together. American Chief Executive Gerard Arpey said in an impromptu press conference at a Marina del Rey hotel that the planes weren't taken out of service because the carrier was worried about their reliability. "We failed in FAA's eyes to meet their precise requirement and that's our responsibility," Arpey said. An FAA spokesman said that the agency hadn't ordered the carrier to take any action but had only notified American that it wasn't in compliance with what's called an airworthiness directive, an order from the federal government about inspecting for potentially faulty equipment. The specific concerns FAA inspectors raised were with clips that hold electrical wiring in wheel wells and the direction they were facing, according to an American executive who asked not to be identified. While the airline tried to minimize the significance of improperly installed clips, its own pilots said that the inspections were vital to preventing a potential accident. The Allied Pilots Assn. , the pilots union for American Airlines, said that the airworthiness directive was issued "to prevent shorted wires or arcing at the auxiliary hydraulic pump, which could result in loss of auxiliary hydraulic power, or a fire in the wheel well of the airplane. "The union said that the directive was intended to "reduce the potential of an ignition source adjacent to the fuel tanks, which, in combination with flammable fuel vapors, could result in a fuel tank explosion and consequent loss of the airplane. ""If that is all it is -- a technical compliance issue -- why did they have to ground all these planes?" said Kevin Cornwell, who has been an MD-80 pilot for 22 years. Whether the grounding was safety-related or simply service-related, some longtime aviation experts said they were worried that the FAA was heading in the "wrong direction" by becoming "hypersensitive" to following airworthiness directives and potentially missing safety issues.
