Clinton Endorsement Shakes Up Democratic Primary Race

Mitchell, a long-time supporter of the Clintons, says she appreciates the boost and a pitch from the president to help her campaign reach the number of qualifying contributions for Clean Elections funding. The e-mail blast from Clinton to Maine Democrats arrived 22 days before Mitchell must submit 3,250, $5 qualifying contributions to the state.
