IN THE MOTORCADE, SOUTH OF MANCHESTER — Sen. Hillary Clinton rallied her volunteers this morning before they did a neighborhood canvass on her behalf. She was in good spirits but her sound equipment was in bad shape.

Check out this (very, very) raw video I took while being crushed by TV cameras and still photographers. In it, Clinton's microphone doesn't work, so she hands it off. Then her staff adjusts the platform where she would be standing. She goes to speak through the bullhorn while her fans cheer "Hillary!" But — oops! — she flips the siren on accidentally instead. After the bullhorn was handed off, she got back in place.

Here's some (somewhat better) video of her remarks, with daughter Chelsea at her side.
