of “Women for Hillary" in Portsmouth, NH
only 1,000 supporters showed up?
"I’m a proud lifelong fighter for women’s issues,”
Clinton told a crowd of about 1,000 supporters
that gathered outside Portsmouth Junior High School
for the Labor Day weekend kick-off of “Women for Hillary.”

Rarely has Hillary Clinton campaigned on women’s issues so openly and unequivocally as she did on Saturday in New Hampshire.
PORTSMOUTH, N.H. -- In a state with a history of electing women to its highest offices, and on the 20th anniversary of her famous speech in Beijing, where as First Lady she declared “women’s rights are human rights and human rights are women’s rights,” Hillary Clinton defined the entire economic agenda of her 2016 campaign as a women's issue.
For the Democratic front-runner, the backdrop for her speech had special meaning -- this early-voting state is the one where Clinton herself shattered a glass ceiling in 2008 by becoming the first woman to win a presidential primary.
“I’m a proud lifelong fighter for women’s issues,” Clinton told a crowd of about 1,000 supporters that gathered outside Portsmouth Junior High School for the Labor Day weekend kick-off of “Women for Hillary.”
She shared the stage with Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, a former governor and longtime supporter who officially endorsed Clinton’s campaign Saturday. “I firmly believe what’s good for women is good for America,” Clinton said.
Clinton has been embracing her gender since her kickoff rally on Roosevelt Island last June, but the Women for Hillary rally marked the first time she placed her entire domestic and economic agenda in terms of how it affects women’s lives.

Despite your attempt at negative framing, thank you for bringing the article to my attention.
This isn't about her!
It's about who is best for the American people.
Remember them?
Notice how you're the one with the snarky "Hillaryland" comments?
Adults don't have a need to play "Bernieland" games. I'd never think of doing that schoolyard, immature shit.
You keep on showing us what you're all about, though!!
If you think her tactics are such a big FAIL, why don't you rest on your self-satisfied, victorious laurels instead of snarking and whinging?
FWIW, the event was not a "gala"--it was an RSVP event. Free admission. Committed supporters attended. Why you have a problem with this (and plainly--based on the posts you keep flinging at me, aimlessly and pointlessly--you do) is your issue.
You sure don't sound too confident to me--or anyone else reading your gripes.
No one is forcing you to "like" her. Why are you acting like that's the case? This victim attitude is getting wearying.
As for HER campaign, she will run it the way SHE wants to--not the way you--a NON-supporter--wants her to run it. Why would anyone in the HRC camp take your crummy advice? You hate her, you don't want her to win.
The chickens don't vote for the colonel, either.
Feh. Like I said, stop with the whining. Either support your candidate, or don't--but don't tell your "enemy" how they should do their job, and expect ANYONE to take you seriously.
If Clinton supporters are so "smelly-desperate," why aren't you .... happier?
because hardly anyone could be bothered to show.
My bad.
DSBstillaPat
Ummmm hmmmm. I won't hold my breath waiting for an "I beg your pardon...."
That all one thousand will vote for Hillary?
I suspect so....
indeed!!!
It was in the local paper!
If it was invitation only, that sentence would not have been in an online newspaper article.
Most cheer and wooot wooot and have a grand old time. Then go home and quickly forget all about it. I have been to a lot or rally's over the years, many for the other candidate...to see what he or she has to offer. Never voted for them though. Cheered a lot at the good stuff, woot woooted a bit and promptly voted for my candidate. The ones who were at this Clinton event were all supporters, voters, and children of voters and supporters. Big difference. But the B.Sers on this thread know that. great post though. Great pictures too. Sanders would approve... At least on the final effect, not the thought.
Edited to add: this of coarse is true of Clinton OPEN rally's as well, but not to the same extent. She already has a HUGE voter base locked up.
There are no Kissinger types in the pictures of the event. She's having a sad. Be gentle.
town by town. I guess that would be pretty expensive though. The closest I've ever come to President Obama is waving at Air Force 1 when he's landing at SFO. 
... fit inside the increased size Sander's rally in Minneapolis months ago, than her entire "crowd."
Yessir, that there is some real "Clinton campaign enthusiasm."
I see you are still dispensing the same old flavor.
He was in Casino, too, right? My wife got about halfway through that movie back before we got married, I keep trying to get her to sit down and watch the rest.
If for no other reason than, watching Sharon Stone's complete pathos clusterfuck of a hateful meltdown is truly a cinematic, acting tour de force. 
in Videodrome.
It's all connected, man.
Feel the Bern!
white.
I think. 
The only grapes will be the champagne opened at the end of the campaign road. Maybe some cheese and salami. Mmmmm salami.
Like it or not, her name is known in most households and she still leads nation wide by 20 plus points even with the DU pushed negative points. When I ask people I meet or around my work how they feel about bernie sanders I still get a large percentage of 'sanders who?'. Not a lot of time left for them to find out.
But of course since I will be campaigning for her, nothing anyone can tell me on an anonymous Post will mean S$&T in changing my mind although all the Hillary hate posts are not aimed at people like me...they are ment for the random net surffer who might happen by. Thats why so many posts are hidden by the B.S. Recing crew. Many dont have accounts who visit so they cant read the hidden posts. Not a big secret. So have have a nice day and post drivel to someone who cares.
google? Ok did that. I notice that the middle school doesn't have any play fields. What's up with that. Unless the Middle school uses Lewis fields.
So the area of the play field is larger than the open area of the middle school. Good observation. Now you only need evidence that the move was because of the size of the venue.

And a comment on the subject of the article would be nice as well.
What a crowd?
