'That's why we play the games,' Part II
Before yesterday's voting closed, Brighton Reader sent this dispatch from NH about the campaign rallies he attended on Monday. The description of Hillary's event makes sense in retrospect:

Clinton Impressions: ... People did seem excited, and what I saw after was young and heavily female. HRC spoke well, made her pitch, focused on her experience, took some shots at her opponents, although not by name, and then went to questions. She knows her stuff, and can get specific. A flash of humor referencing Margaret Thatcher - "I don't know how likeable she was" got a good response and helped lighten the policy discussion. She ought to do it more. I thought Clinton looked great and sounded good, although you can really hear the fatigue at times. When we were waiting outside later the Speaker of the NH House, Terie Norelli, walked over and asked if anyone was undecided or had questions, focusing right away on the youngest people there.
