On the Lite Side with Hillary Clinton: Friday Date Night

Things have been pretty heavily policy driven, campaign focused, and watchdog alert on these page in the past few weeks, but it is time for a weekend break.  On Friday in Florida, Hillary made two major speeches.  She was home, however, in time for Friday date night with her best dude.  The Clintons were in the house at Madison Square Garden in New York for a U2 concert that evening.
