Small businesses have a special place in Hillarys heart. Her father owned a drapery company, and, through him, she witnessed the ups and downs that come with small business ownership.
Celebrate Small Business Saturday by checking out some of Hillarys favorite small businesses from the road.

This cozy shop in Brooklyn Heights (right down the street from Hillary's campaign headquarters!) has everything a new grandmother could ask for. Hillary picked up a cute, floral romper for Charlotte.
[font size="5"]Popcorn Heaven in Cedar Falls, Iowa: the name says it all.[/font]
Popcorn Heavens specialty? The Iowa mix: a blend of white cheddar, cheese, and caramel-flavored kernels.

(86,650 posts)and the alleged intent of them reminds me of old style campaigning. I think that's what she has a good grip on and is often successful with that method.

Thanks again
