After wrapping up a speech outlining her economic stimulus proposal, the New York senator took questions from the crowd. The first question from one man was: "Hillary, marry me, baby."The packed union hall loved it and applauded. Clinton smiled and told the man, gently, no.
"That is certainly the kindest offer I've had in a while," she said to laughter.
She quickly added, "I'd probably be arrested."
On Monday, the eve of the New Hampshire primary, Clinton faced a very different request. Two men stood in the crowd and began screaming, "Iron my shirt!"
Clinton, a former first lady running to become the nation's first female president, laughed at the seemingly sexist protest that suggested a woman's place is doing the laundry and not running the country.
"Ah, the remnants of sexism - alive and well," Clinton said to applause in a school auditorium.
