Hillary Clinton's Supporters Hold Steady

Hillary Clinton's political team hoped to spend March softly testing themes for her expected presidential campaign, scheduling addresses focused on economic inequality and women's rights in largely friendly venues. On Tuesday night, she picked up an award at a gala for EMILY's List, the organization that promotes Democratic women candidates.

But on the second night of the month, with Clinton's campaign team still largely a work in progress, the New York Times reported that Clinton used her personal e-mail account exclusively during her time as secretary of state, potentially hampering the collection of public records required by law. The report followed a spate of stories last month raising questions about management and fundraising practices at the Clinton Foundation.
