The Clinton campaign held a final rally in Pittsburgh’s Market Square yesterday in the early afternoon. I haven’t seen other estimates, but in talking with others covering the event, there seems to be a consensus of 2-3,000 supporters in attendance. The crowd was mostly white baby boomers and more female than male, but not exclusively so.
The former President warmed up the crowd for his wife. He was introduced by local Pittsburgh Clinton supporters Mayor Luke Ravenstahl and Allegheny County Executive Dan Onorato as well as by Lt. Governor Catherine Baker Knoll.
When Hillary arrived, she quickly took to the stage to deliver a somewhat condensed version of her stump speech. She drew applause in all of the right places, having the effect of rallying her troops for get out the vote operations tomorrow.
I couldn’t help but notice after the rally ended, however, as I looked out to the sidewalk through a sandwich shop window, that her supporters seemed a little uncertain. Their smiles had faded, and their signs were rolled up. Were they wondering if this was the end? If so, they’ll likely be relieved tonight.
In any case, I have a slideshow of the Pittsburgh Market Square Clinton rally.
