Original article: Hillary at twilight

It's just her, in her best element

Why was she in a town of 279 people? Because her aides discovered, during her 2000 Senate campaign, that large audiences don't react well to her; she does best in small, intimate settings where she can practically touch every person in the room.

Did this get her tons of free publicity in the local papers for the next 20-50 miles? You Betcha!!

Will it get her votes? Maybe, maybe not...I wasn't there, but I'm not voting for her under almost any circumstance.
