"I know that Sen. Clinton is a long-distance runner," Angelou said last night. "And however the odds may go and the polls may show -- from today, to tonight, to tomorrow morning -- I know she's in it for the long run. I am honored to say I am with her for the long run."

Clinton called Angelou "a grace note in our lives" and fondly recalled reading her autobiography, I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings.

Prodded by Angelou, Clinton also talked about her plan to make college more affordable and about her efforts, during her husband's administration, to unite Catholics and Protestants in Northern Ireland. And Clinton said she wants to ease economic inequality by revising America's free-trade practices and eliminating incentives for companies that move jobs overseas.
