OBS

Pour la première fois dans l'histoire des élections américaines, la presse parla de marathon électoral. À Montpellier (Vermont), à Trenton (New Jersey), à Concord (New Hampshire) et à Annapolis (Maryland), elle ne prit même pas la peine de descendre du train et harangua la foule de la plateforme de son wagon.
