Clinton Campaigns Despite Wicked Weather in Wisconsin
MILWAUKEE -- Severe weather in northern Wisconsin may have canceled some of Clinton's scheduled events, but it did not stop her from making two unscheduled stops in the Milwaukee area.
Clinton visited Miss Katie's Diner this morning where she shook hands and posed for pictures. At one point, Clinton stopped to admire a photograph of her husband from years ago that hung in the hallway.
After a quick breakfast of eggs and corned beef hash, the campaign decided to make another unscheduled stop in a predominantly Hispanic neighborhood in Milwaukee. Clinton visited El Rey (The King) Supermarket where she greeted shoppers near the registers and eventually made her way through to the produce section.
Clinton, who has an affinity toward hot peppers, gazed upon the variety of peppers from jalepenos to serrano to poblanos like a kid in a candy store. When asked if she would purchase any she said, "This is like heaven for me. Here we are, surrounded by jalepenos." Clinton did purchase some large red jalepenos telling reporters "I haven't had red ones. This is like a new adventure for me."
As Clinton toured the market, the store manager's voice could be heard blaring in the background over the public address system as he announced in Spanish that Clinton was present in the supermarket.
Despite having breakfast only minutes earlier, Clinton had enough of an appetite to sample some Mexican rice, some beef and Mexican mole.
