ST. PAUL, Minn. – Sen. Hillary Clinton is watching the Super Bowl, if you define “watching” as being in the room with a television.
Clinton missed the first quarter, holding a rally in Minneapolis and riding in the motorcade across the Mississippi. Now at Dixie’s Smokehouse Bar & Grill – a bit of the South up North – Clinton has yet to be able to sit down, shaking hands and taking pictures with supporters.
Clinton has said she is pulling for the Giants, wryly noting that she’d welcome a New York victory tonight and on Super Tuesday.
Right now Tom Petty is on the TV screen – without sound – above the bar. Somewhere, somebody, is enjoying this.
One person not here is St. Paul’s favorite son, Garrison Keillor, host of public radio’s A Prairie Home Companion, who just endorsed Sen. Barack Obama.
Speaking of public radio, a state poll last week by Minnesota Public Radio and the Humphrey Institute showed Obama behind Clinton, 40 percent to 33 percent.
