Reply #44: Her appearance seem more grassroots to me.

It was like that in Seattle. She did three things to Obama's one - he had the huge rally in the afternoon at a big arena with padded seats. She did a late night event (the one I went to) in an unheated warehouse at the Port of Seattle (about 5000 people), an interview in the morning (he declined it) and a town hall with nurses in Tacoma (about 5000 people) even though many of the nurses would be excuded from voting by our caucus system. One reason I support her is that I believe that she has an incredible work ethic and I applaud it. NPR did a piece about this yesterday morning.

I know that her gas-station event was a photo-op, but frankly, it reaches more working-class Joes than Obama's stunt with the North Carolina basketball team.
