Rick Klein: “Hillary Clinton’s promise to work it hard to win votes one at a time may not ever include classic retail politics featuring open access to ‘everyday’ voters, or freewheeling exchanges with the press. But her event Wednesday in South Carolina showed that she’s serious about the effort to win votes where she needs them. On a day that the national news cycle was elsewhere, this was Clinton trying to get done what she knew she needed to get done. Bringing traces of an old twang, she reminded South Carolina voters of what they knew: That she ran against Barack Obama there and lost.”
“It was a light touch on what could have been a delicate day; the Clinton camp knows that minority voters represent an area of potential vulnerability in the Democratic race. Clinton brought a simple explanation for why she ran against Obama – and accepted his offer to work in his Cabinet: ‘He and I share many of the same positions about what should be done in the next presidency.'”
