John Podesta -- counselor and enforcer to two presidents, longtime Democratic sage and now the chairman of Hillary Rodham Clintons presidential campaign -- stood in line on a Manhattan street corner the other day, waiting to board a bus.
He was wearing jeans and running sneakers and carrying a scuffed duffel bag stuffed with dirty laundry. He did not look glamorous.
Like fellow passengers, who included thrifty senior citizens and college girls in sorority T-shirts, Podesta was paying just $30 to travel to Washington aboard a Vamoose bus. Thats about a third of the cost of the cheapest Amtrak ticket and less than the taxes on a coach seat on a shuttle flight -- and that's the reason the Clinton campaign has decreed that staffers must schlep on the bus.
Its become solidarity to take it, said Podesta, who agreed to let a Washington Post reporter and photographer accompany him on his subway-and-bus commute from New York to Washington last week.

Remember, Hillary was seen standing in line at Chipotle's.
She didn't send in someone.
Walking the walk.
