Hillary Clintons South Carolina Salvation

...............Just next door over a wire fence sits the the county's recreational center. And inside its gymnasium, Hillary Clinton is encircled by an almost entirely African-American audience, in search of her own type of redemption.
.......................
In the well of the gymnasium, Ronnie Sabb, a state senator and local attorney in Kingstree, is giving Clinton an introduction that could easily be mistaken for a Southern Methodist sermon.
With every phrase of praise for Clinton, he pauses his cadence to allow the audience to call back at him, creating a kinetic rhythm seldom found among white crowds.
Clinton adapts to the moment, mimicking Sabb's rhetorical pacing and even inserting a slight Southern twang into her dialect.
"I have to say, you've got a senator preacher here," she says to claps and cheers. "I'll tell you what / I can just see him / down there in the Senate / casting out / all those demons."
She continues, creating her own gospel hymn, eliciting peppy line-by-line responses just like Sabb:
"I'll tell you, we could just turn this into a revival.
I bet there's some gooood singin' that could be done here.
In fact, I think we need more singing, don't you?
I sing because I'm happy, I sing because I'm freeee."
Clinton then spends more than an hour sifting through her hefty policy agenda, but with a keen focus on her audience at hand. She notes African-American women, which dominate the crowd seated before her, make up the fastest-growing group of small business owners. She deplores the physical deterioration and mold she's witnessed at area schools, promising to turn what's known as South Carolina's Corridor of Shame into a "corridor of opportunity." She mentions her work for Marian Wright Edelman, founder of the Children's Defense Fund, who is from Bennettsville, South Carolina.
She pays homage to President Obama's achievements like the Affordable Care Act, while sympathizing with him over the economic outlook he inherited........................................
