...Clinton is not without her own grassroots support in South Bend. Jennifer Peck, a 30-year-old teacher turned stay-at-home mom and part-time waitress, is one such backer. One afternoon last fall, Peck sat in her living room scouring www.meetup.com for playgroups for her two young children.

In contrast, Obama's speeches over the weekend-his closing arguments in Pennsylvania-were lengthy and sometimes harsh explanations of the differences between...
