How Clinton-Backed Candidates Fared

Normally, it's the president and first lady who are making the campaign rounds during the lead up to a Midterm Election. This year, it was a former president and former first lady taking on the role of party elders.

Bill and Hillary Clinton were aggressive campaigners for Democratic candidates across the country in the weeks leading up to Election Day.

Between President Obama's low approval rating and Hillary Clinton's widely expected 2016 presidential ambitions, the campaign trail was an open, easy way for the Clintons to shore up some national goodwill.

As such, Hillary Clinton's list includes nearly half as many candidates as her husband, but all told she did travel to 20 states during the course of the campaign.

Their makeshift scorecard of how many of their picks did well at the polls will be updated throughout the night, but they had one notable early upset. Both Clintons made more than one visit to Kentucky on behalf of Alison Lundergan Grimes, the Democrat who ran-- and lost-- against Republican Sen. Mitch McConnell.

Hillary Clinton focuses on women's rights in New Hampshire campaign

Hillary Clinton defended Democrats focus on womens rights on Sunday, as she returned to her old redoubt of New Hampshire to help the party keep hold of a crucial US Senate seat and maintain the states all-female congressional delegation.

In her first visit to the key presidential primary state since her 2008 campaign for the White House, the former US secretary of state also stoked speculation that she is readying another run in 2016, meeting voters at unannounced campaign stops.

Appearing at a rally in Nashua alongside Senator Jeanne Shaheen, Clinton attacked Shaheens opponent, Scott Brown, for past votes opposing legislation that would guarantee women equal pay and coverage for contraception in their health insurance.

It is just astonishing to me that were having a debate about whether or not our country believes in equal pay for equal work, said Clinton, noting that Jeannes opponent is sort of on record dismissing this issue.

Asked last month by Fox News to respond to Shaheens persistent criticism of his record on womens reproductive rights and economic security, Brown said: Unfortunately Im talking about issues that people care about.

Women working full-time in New Hampshire have median earnings of $41,542 a year, according to the American Association of University Women. This is 78% of the $52,954-a-year median earnings of men in the state. A similar ratio exists nationwide.

Clinton went on to tell the crowd that they should make sure fellow New Hampshire voters understand that at stake in this election is whether or not women have the right to make our own reproductive healthcare decisions.

New Hampshire Democrats have aggressively drawn attention to Browns co-sponsoring legislation, while previously representing Massachusetts in the Senate, to allow employers to decline on moral grounds to provide insurance covering contraception, as well as his vote against the Paycheck Fairness Act.

Criticising opponents who raise questions about why do these Democrats go around talking about women, Clinton told a capacity crowd of 700 at a community college: Womens rights are on the frontier of freedom everywhere in the world.
