San Francisco Plays Host to Bill and Hillary Clinton

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) 6.28.04, 12:35p -- The leftiest big city on the Left Coast has rolled out the red carpet for Bill and Hillary Rodham Clinton, who arrived here Monday morning for a series of appearances, speaking engagements and fund raisers.

While Sen. Clinton's duties in Washington and the former president's far-flung speaking engagements can keep them apart for weeks at a time, friends say the Clintons' joint visit to the Bay Area is a homecoming of sorts for both of them.

"He was here so dag gum much when he was president that outside of Arkansas, his highest level of support is probably the Bay Area," said Martha Whetstone, executive director of the Bar Association of San Francisco and a longtime friend of both Clintons. "And San Francisco has always been Hillary country. They get her here -- there's a real appreciation for independent, intelligent women."

As president, Clinton visited California some 70 times and focused much of his political and fund raising energies on the heavily Democratic Bay Area. The visits by both Clintons increased while their daughter, Chelsea, was a student at Stanford University.

1. I believe Hillary worked in SF for a year before she went to law school...

...or was it between first and second year?
