KEENE -- At 9:55 am ET, Sen. Hillary Clinton was in Washington, D.C., waiting to cast her final vote of the week -- a bill to increase the bounty on Osama Bin Laden's head.
Four hundred forty seven miles away, a capacity crowd of about a thousand residents of Keene, NH and environs fidgeted on a football field. Their call time was 9:30.
There was no warm up act -- no "The Twenty" -- but there was music -- an endless loop of campaign perennials like "We Can" and, thanks to good advance work, food and water. It was hot, but it was dry, and there was a nice breeze.The point of all this is to say that sometimes even being a spectator or a fan can be grueling.
Hillary and Bill Clinton arrived at 11:30. A few minutes later, just as Hillary Clinton began to speak, myself, along with much of the national press corps, were racing to Concord to hear Sen. John McCain speak.

Marc! Please! It hurts to read this more than a Yglesias typo... you've abused the reflexive pronoun most terribly in this entry. Try using "I" instead. I swear it's correct.
