thank you for coming. i love your outfit. well, i love your outfit. thank you. i do want the earrings back. oh, okay. oh. now she campaigned like a challenger, not an incumbent. there were instances in which we would stay at the same hotel, and we d get there, you know, at 10:00 and she would get there at midnight and we would leave at 8:00 and she d have left at 7:00. it was extraordinary to watch. clinton turned up the heat. shame on you, barack obama! her debate performances were more aggressive. we finally did the 3:00 a.m. spot that would become iconic. it is 3:00 a.m. and your children are safe and asleep, but there s a phone in the white house and it is ringing. and chelsea clinton emerged as a force on the trail. i wound up doing more than 400 events in less than six months, i think in 40 states.
