The line of cars trying to get into the Clinton event tonight must have been more than a couple of miles long and her supporters were noisy, clearly determined that if she is to go down here she will do so with dignity. Encouragingly for her campaign, her emotional moment earlier in the day is playing sympathetically and hasn’t been used to declare her political death.
This was the first time that I had seen Bill and Hillary at a rally together. He didn’t speak this evening, unlike at her pre-caucus rally in Iowa, but he was a distracting presence. You do find yourself constantly looking to him to see how he is reacting to things that she says. When he took a couple of steps across the stage to pour himself a glass of water, you could see people’s eyes following him across the room.
