During a break, we walked a short distance across the grassy park and down a trail through the trees to a clearing where we could spot the fruits of our labor - the start of what I was told will be a mile-long trail of sandbags piled two-feet high atop a leaky levee. In the distance, National Guard troops piled the bags. Below us, only a few feet away, was our new enemy - the river...

On the campaign trail Clinton often got wonky; in Pennsylvania a staffer remarked to me that, though boring to reporters, this was the secret to her success with the middle class. Indeed, audiences, especially those who were economically depressed, paid rapt attention to her lists of proposed legislative acts. In leaving the race, Clinton left the lists at home and her rhetoric soared as high...
