But he appealed to supporters to show the same vigor they did more than two years ago to send him to victory. "I understand that sometimes generating the same energy is difficult," he said at an event later. "We've gone through two years of very difficult work." He then added, with a chuckle: "My hair is grayer. I'm not as young and vibrant as I...
