On Thursday, Spring came to Terre Haute - so did Hillary Clinton. Coincidence? Of course! It did stop raining long enough for a few hundred supporters and a couple thousand curious Hoosiers to attend HRC's visit. I'd like to point out that she was late, you know, tardy. She's campaigning for the most important job in the world, it's her first "stop" of the day and she's half an hour late! Would the same lack of punctuality be carried to the White House? Still, I was curious and I would have loved to attend. It was a big deal for Terre Haute since we seem to lack significence in relation to the rest of the world. A lot of Compact Discs are made here...but I digress.
Apparently Mrs. Clinton didn't say anything new or earth shattering while she was here. We would have known if she had. The place was crawling with news media. The (not-so-secret) Secret Service was here, too. They were easy to spot - sunglasses and suits. Normally, not too many suits in Terre Haute.
Indiana Senator Evan Bayh was with her. The guy cracks me up. He's a two term Governor of Indiana and in his second term as Senator from Indiana and he says stuff like, "We need to develop......" Hell, you've been here long enough to have done something. If you did your job better, maybe whatever you're talking about would have been less of a problem! His facial expressions are funny, too. Sometimes, I don't think even he believes himself! But we love him in Terre Haute! He's smart...and handsome!
