 SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - An upbeat Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton strode onstage Friday, leading the applause for herself and her supporters. She mocked her inability to sing and recalled her misjudgments on health care in her husband's first term.
This is Clinton in her favored political habitat, what her campaign calls the "conversation." It's a hybrid of President Clinton's freewheeling town halls, with a dash of President Bush's more tightly scripted forums.
Studiously spontaneous, it is engineered to showcase her as warm, funny, accessible — and to shatter preconceived notions of the chilly, calculating former first lady.
