...able to assert throughout this campaign that she has 35 years of experience, that makes her more qualified. She hasn't won the debate on policy in this race. What she did, especially over the last two weeks, is essentially question my capacity.

Nearby, three friends who work together at a fishing tackle factory sit at a high table and ponder their options. They had showed up early in the morning for a 6.30 p.m. train home to Chongqing, but despite a day of waiting on line, they still couldn't get through the throng into in the station in time. "We're wondering if we should stay or go," says Jiang Jinan...
