WATCH Arkansas Travelers Reunite to Support Hillary Clinton



After a recent campaign event in New Hampshire, Hillary Clinton slipped backstage at the Nashua Radisson where 18 of her biggest fans were waiting.

“I’m so happy you all could come,” Clinton said after posing for a photo with the group who had traveled from Arkansas to be there. “Thank you, thank you.”

For the next five minutes or so, Clinton chatted with them about life: the Razorbacks, her granddaughter, husband Bill, general happenings on the campaign trail. They updated her on their plans. She then hugged each of them and said goodbye. It was back to work -– for everyone.

But this was no ordinary group of supporters. These were the “Arkansas Travelers,” a cadre of loyal Democrats – some of whom are longtime friends and colleagues of the Clintons – who got together in 1992 to travel the country to campaign for the future president’s first White House bid.


In 1992, the group’s efforts turned out to be a real boon for Bill Clinton, who was still relatively unknown to many across the country (“Travelers” recall knocking on doors in Iowa and meeting person after person who had never even heard of him). ..........
