Clinton recruits out-of-staters to pack rally
Reporters who walked into this Nashua high school today were immediately struck by the crowd — there are visibly more people here for Sen. Hillary Clinton than were here for Sen. Barack Obama yesterday in the same location.
The Clinton crowd was loud and boisterous and their foot-stomping was thunderous.
Many of them were also from Massachusetts.
Clinton gave a few minute speech about how she sees the race for 2008 shaping up, then started taking questions. As she did, I noticed dozens of people start streaming out via the back doors.
Another reporter noticed a charter bus parked outside — and it wasn't part of our traveling motorcade.

Clinton's crowd control showing signs of panic
The question in the travelling media pool following Clinton was how many she would attract to the same place. It's just two days out from the vote in the New Hampshire primary for the nomination of the US president and this kind of momentum and numbers matters.
Clinton's campaign staff had shrunk the room. It made the crowd look bigger.
Using barricades, the public area in front of Clinton was considerably smaller than at the Obama event the previous day. Instead, they expanded the area reserved for the media.
"What a great crowd, I'm overwhelmed by the turnout!" Clinton said as, she bounded on to stage with daughter Chelsea. "They say there are about 3500 people here."
It was more like 2000. It was another sign of desperation in a campaign that is being overwhelmed by Obama's emphatic defeat of Clinton in the Iowa caucus last week.
