Kingstree, South Carolina, January 24: During a day marked by sparring with reporters, Bill Clinton fielded perhaps his toughest question from a 5-year-old.

"What do you do when you get married?" McKenna Chance asked the former president on Wednesday.

Laughter erupted from the crowd of about 400 people gathered at a recreation centre. Clinton paced the stage for several moments. Then he pointed to the back of the room at the media horde that has been following him as he campaigns around the state for his wife, Hillary Rodham Clinton.

"See all the press people back there? They put me through the ringer this morning, and everything I said is about to pale in comparison to what I'm now going to say," Bill Clinton said.

But the remarks were rather innocuous. The best things about being married, he said, are spending your life with your best friend and having children.

"The best moment of my life, I think, was that I was in the hospital, in the room, with my wife when our daughter was born," Bill Clinton said.
