The simple pleasure she takes in campaigning--probing genuinely serious policy issues; meeting people who regard her with thunderstruck awe, as if she were Joan of Arc in a minivan--may seem banal, but it's crucial to the whole venture. If it weren't fun, she'd pull the plug, but right now that's about as likely as her switching to the G.O.P. She told a group of reporters last Thursday, "It is a different feeling...

...have the familiar characters, ready to play out their traditional family road-trip roles. But we have something that significantly alters the plot: a technology-laden vehicle, in which, for hours at a time, our kids can forget they're traveling at all. Rather than opt for another minivan or sport-utility vehicle when we went car shopping a couple of years ago, we followed the lead of a neighbor (who drives to Connecticut every summer) and bought a luxury liner, better known as a conversion van, custom-outfitted for long road trips.
