"The former first couple — Harkin dubbed them “the Comeback Couple” in his speech — left a relatively light footprint on their first trip to the state in nearly seven years. They flew in Sunday morning, spent an hour at a reception for the state’s Democrats, flipped some steaks on a grill, gave speeches, shook hands.
In between, they reminded the swell of media that jammed itself along a barricade for a photo-op of the pair holding steaks on spatulas that Hillary Clinton is still reacclimating to the political press corps that she’s long disdained. Also on start display: how much the former president enjoys the art of politicking more than his wife does.
They arrived in a roughly 10-car caravan of silver SUVs, cop cars and sedans. They spent time in a holding area, out of the media’s view. Reporters hung over barricades, waiting for a glimpse. When they first stood by the grill with Harkin in a penned-off area hundreds of yards away from the steak fry dais, both Clintons ignored reporters’ questions. “Are you running?” one called out. “Mr. President, can she win this time?” And so forth.
