Background

2008 presidential run

Clinton announced her decision to run for the 2008 presidential election on January 20, 2007. Early in the race, she was considered the frontrunner for the Democratic Party, and actively sought her party's nomination. Clinton ran ahead in the polls, until Illinois Senator Barack Obama began pulling ahead following the South Carolina primary. In the prolonged primary battle that ensued, during which she received more than 18 million votes, Clinton lost the nomination to Obama. Obama won the general election against Arizona Republican Senator John McCain on November 4, 2008.

Clinton (RIRTR station)

Clinton was a proposed Rochester Industrial and Rapid Transit Railway station located in Rochester, New York. The station would have been located between Court Street and Meigs-Goodman stations, near the South Avenue Loop and the connection to the Lehigh Valley Railroad Station, close to the downtown central business district.

Plans for a wood and steel station were drawn up during the early 1940s and approved by City Council in June 1943, but turned down by the War Production Board. A revised design for a concrete structure costing $101,000 was then approved, but wartime shortages prevented its construction.

Clinton (steam ferry)

Clinton was the first steam ferry boat built in California and used on San Francisco Bay in 1853.

History

The Clinton was built by Domingo Marcucci in early 1853, for Charles Minturn of the Conta Costa Steam Navigation Company. She was a 194-ton, side-wheel steamer, with a walking beam, 125 horsepower, low-preassure engine, 120 feet long, 24 feet beam and a hull 7 feet deep. She was launched 60 days from the day her keel was laid.

She ran on the Creek Route between San Francisco and the eastern shore until 1865 when Minturn sold out his interest in the Creek Route to the railroad. In 1866 he moved the remains of his fleet to operate between San Francisco and Marin and Sonoma Counties.

In 1874 the Clinton was purchased by the San Rafael & San Quentin Railroad and put on the run to San Rafael. The Clinton ended her career in 1877, sinking after a collision with another ship.
