Ugh. Thousands of people came out to see her at McCluer North, my old high school—and the maybe a thousand of us who actually got into the gym ended up sitting for two hours before the Clintons even showed. The promised two-hour “town hall meeting” ended up being a mere 45-minute stump speech, with Bill introducing Hillary by hammering again on that “CEO leadership” line from the Nevada debate. Lame.
Great chutzpah by Clinton—speaking in a black church about how inspired she was by Martin Luther King as a teenager—shortly before she signed up to campaign for barry Goldwater to oppose Lyndon Johnson—Goldwater was one of six republican senators to oppose the civil rights bill.
