MSNBC reporter David Shuster noted that she refuses to answer questions about what she's doing. Shuster was later suspended for suggesting she had been "pimped out." The phrase typically refers to prostitution.
Her visit to a New Haven, Connecticut, polling location -- where she delivered coffee to election workers -- raised the question of whether she was campaigning illegally close to where people vote.
In the final campaign push, she has tried to humanize her parents. When an Ohio State University student asked last week about health care, she worked her mother's wish to be a grandmother into her answer: "What your girlfriend needs is different than what I may need -- is different than what I would need when I make my mother happy and give her grandchildren -- is different than what my grandmother needs ... There are different health needs based on our situations."
