Jun 02, 2003 — Presidential hopefuls and other Democratic luminaries gathered in Lake Placid over the weekend for a rally held by New York's Democratic Rural Conference. The group hopes to focus attention on rural issues--everything from farm policy to poverty to acid rain. As Brian Mann reports, the gathering was also a chance for Democrats to test their stump speeches, as they try to win back small-town America. For individual audio, see the link below.
