Ending weeks of speculation, Hillary Clinton's campaign manager confirmed Monday that the Democratic candidate is dropping her last name from the New York Senate race. 'After much consideration, Hillary has decided that she can run a leaner, more effective campaign with just her first name,' Howard Wolfson announced at a rally in Oneonta. 'We thank all of Hillary's supporters, and all the citizens of the great state of New York, for standing by her on her road to becoming 'Senator Hillary.'' Hillary is married to politician Bill Clinton.
