[The 90’s Election Specials raw: Clintons at the Hilton and Maine South High School #1]

Raw tape for The 90's election specials. This tape has heavy tracking problems. Visual periodically cuts out throughout the entire tape. This tape has 54 minutes of Bill and Hillary Clinton's visit to the Hilton Hotel in Chicago on Super Tuesday (3/10/92), then their visit to Hillary's alma mater, Maine South High School in Park Ridge, IL. Most of the Hilton footage is just press standing around.
