"Let Hillary speak, and then overshadow [her with] the Key Note speaker. Let Bill speak, and then overshadow [him with] the VP. At least they havent lost sight of the side goal, death to the Clinton wing of the party."

The Clintons helped change the lives of many Americans during the 90's and they continue to do so today. Tell me what change Obama has brought or will bring besides a name and a face .

The Clintons have actively worked in the past, the present and the future. So they, themselves are activists in the land of "could be".

On Women's night the keynote speaker is a man... you gotta love that!

Check out Colorado Democrats Threaten Clinton Delegate's Status because of a private email she wrote to another delegate. She was writing AS a Clinton delegate to the convention, discussing her concern over the treatment of Clinton delegates and saying she was not sure she could vote for Obama at the Democratic National Convention later this month.

The political director of Colorado's Democratic Party sent her an email:

Dear Ms. Millstone: A complaint has been filed with the Colorado Democratic Party, by a fellow Democratic National Convention delegate, regarding your position as a Delegate to the National Convention in light of the disparaging public remarks you have made and continue to make regarding our Party's presumptive nominee for President, Sen. Obama.

Therefore, you are hereby directed to come in to the Party Headquarters and explain your comments and why you should remain a national delegate to the 2008 Democratic National Convention in light of these comments. I can be reached at 303-XXX-XXXX. Your immediate attention to this urgent matter is requested."

Slate has compiled Obama's speeches, his writings, contemporary news accounts of his life, and recent retrospective articles to show how Obama's life looks different depending on who's looking.
 . . .
In his speeches, Obama talks about his Chicago organizing days much more than his two years at Occidental College in Los Angeles. He mentions growing up in Hawaii more than he discusses his childhood in Indonesia. Some of that is just good storytelling. But some of it is deliberately curatorial. Obama visited his grandparents' home in Kansas during the campaign, for example, but friends from Harvard were discouraged from talking to the press.

Click the tab along the top that says "Speeches" and you'll see how often he talks about each period of his life, with links to the speeches themselves. Click the "Autobiography" tab to see how much he writes about each era in his books. Click on "Recent News" to see how often newspapers and magazines dedicate to those periods. Or click "Contemporary News" to see how much coverage he got at the time.

When his little girls are grown up, he's pretty sure they'll appreciate the stories of how Sen Clinton gave him a darned good "workout" and "Spring Training" while the party shredded her votes and carried him across the finish line in a wheelbarrow.

Can we please, please fulfill the promise?  

How about Warner announces that number-one on the New Dem agenda will be winning the ERA?  After 85 years, since it first was introduced?

That would be change that I could believe in -- finally achieving Constitutional equality for more than half of the American people.
