Clinton brushed aside questions about Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin during appearances at New York City’s lasting a year Labor Day promenade and later for the period of a stop on Staten Island.

“This election is about issues, and that’s what’s going to matter to people at the end of the day,” she told reporters who asked her about the Alaska governor at a rally for a Democratic congressional candidate at Wagner College.

Clinton joined other New York politicians for a Saturday morning breakfast through union leaders in Manhattan, then marched up Fifth Avenue in the city’s annual labor parade.

In the afternoon on Staten Island, she stumped for Democrat Mike McMahon, who is running for a congressional cause to sit substance vacated by Republican Vito Fossella.

Fossella unhesitating not to make search re-election after a drunken driving arrest and a revelation that he fathered a child outside his marriage.

No longer a presidential solicitant, Clinton was still welcomed warmly at all three events. Some supporters at her Staten Island rally brought old “Clinton for President” placards.

She only mentioned Palin by name formerly during the day, at the labor breakfast, at the time that she uttered a modified version of a line from her speech at the Democratic National Convention.

“No habitual method, no to what degree, no McCain, no Palin,” she said.
