Dancing Days Are Here Again For Hillary Clinton?
Monday, May 26th, 2008done
It was one of the happiest days we’ve seen her spend on the campaign trail in weeks — and given the last few days, a much needed one.
Hillary Clinton started her Sunday morning at an evangelical church in Puerto Rico, swaying from side to side and clapping her hands as a band and choir played Latin-infused Christian rock. After changing from a serious turquoise pantsuit to a more festive pink floral top, Clinton hit the beach — grooving to the sounds of salsa music while watching a live dance troupe.
Following a leisurely lunch by the water and a 9-minute speech featuring a debate challenge for Barack Obama, Clinton changed costumes again — this time back to the turquoise — for her speech on Cuba, then headed to the bar to shake hands with the locals in San Juan.
While there, she ordered a Presidente, a Dominican beer, drinking a toast with her Puerto Rico advisers. On her way out the door, she advised two traveling TV reporters that they were free to start drinking as well — before stopping to groove for a few seconds to the Enrique Iglesias hit “Be With You” with a certain Fox producer.
That’s right: I danced with Hillary Clinton.
The Senator’s dance party didn’t continue into the night — at least, not as far as I know. Clinton enjoyed a late meal with staff at her hotel in San Juan before retiring. She hits the campaign trail with her husband on Monday, joining up with her daughter to wrap up her three-day swing through the commonwealth before catching a plane to Washington.
