--GRANITE STATE BACKSTORY:Despite all the attack lines leveled against Hillary Clinton over the weekend, she is still arriving for her two-day swing through the Granite State on friendly turf. Dating back to 1992, when Bill Clinton famously dubbed himself "The Comeback Kid" after his second-place finish in the New Hampshire presidential primary, Granite Staters have always shown strong support for the Clintons, ABC's LIZ KREUTZ notes. And, in turn, the Clintons have always felt a personal connection to the state. During the 2008 presidential primary, New Hampshire was the place that essentially resuscitated Hillary Clinton's first presidential bid, after she came in third in the Iowa caucus. It's the state where she nearly broke down in tears during a 2008 campaign stop at a local diner. And it's the state where she and Barack Obama chose to hold their first joint rally together -- symbolically, in a town called Unity -- after Clinton conceded the presidential nomination to the then-senator.

--'YOU LIFTED ME UP': "In 2008, during the darkest days of my campaign," she said during a midterm election campaign rally in New Hampshire last year, "you lifted me up; you gave me my voice back. You taught me so much about grit and determination. I will never forget that and I want to thank the people of New Hampshire."

--CLINTON IS BEING GREETED IN THE GRANITE STATE with Web video from the Republican opposition research group, America Rising: https://youtu.be/8k1-PdKfKX0 According to WMUR's John DiStaso, it's "targeted to the Keene and Concord areas, the two cities in which Clinton intends to hold public events over the next two days. Web users in those areas have begun to see the ad on Facebook feeds, as "pre-roll" on YouTube and in Google searches. It will be online through Tuesday, the group said." http://bit.ly/1IuAIyz
