(CBS)
From CBS News' Fernando Suarez:

CHAPPAQUA, N.Y. -- Hillary Clinton arrived early in the morning to Douglas Grafflin Elementary School to cast her vote on Super Tuesday, accompanied by former President Bill Clinton and daughter Chelsea.

After voting, Hillary Clinton told reporters, "It's a very humbling and overwhelming experience to cast my vote today."

"I hope a lot of people will come out and vote today."

President Clinton schmoozed with voters while his wife was in the voting booth.

The former president later told reporters this was "one of the proudest moments of my life" as he held his hand to his heart.

On her way out, Hillary Clinton added, "I am just very excited about today. We should encourage everyone across the country to come out and vote in this national primary."

The Clintons departed the voting site after taking time to shake hands with supporters waiting outside in the cold.

Clinton is has no public campaign events for most of the day but she will be conducting radio and television interviews from her home in Chappaqua. C

She later attends a "Victory Party" (as the campaign calls it) in New York City later tonight.
