Feeling Heat, Clinton Tries Iowa Up Close

By ADAM NAGOURNEY and PATRICK HEALY

DES MOINES – Ten months ago, Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton went to East High School here on her first trip to Iowa as a presidential candidate and laid out a case for her candidacy to a cheering crowd in a packed gymnasium.

Mrs. Clinton returned to East High School late last week. But the crowd was much smaller and more sedate. And rather than discussing her candidacy, Mrs. Clinton explained the caucus process and showed a video titled “Caucusing Is Easy.”

The video was directed at voters who might be intimidated by the complicated Iowa caucus process. But the reassuring message might as well have been intended for the candidate herself.
