I was really proud to support Hillary Clinton in the primaries and I loved her speech at the Democratic Convention last month. The line, “No Way, No How, No McCain” really struck a chord for me and a lot of other supporters as well.
Hillary was on the stump for Obama in Ohio on Sunday and [...]

There’s a great story about John Kerry mountain biking in Denver during the convention, that is so worth a read: “My Un-Conventional Ride.”
The cyclist who road with Kerry was just a little blown away by Kerry’s cycling ability and agility:
On to the ride. Immediately he bumped shoulders with me on the first corner and thought nothing [...]

John McCain’s strange VP pick, Sarah Palin may have dominated the news on Friday, but Barack Obama’s speech Thursday night accepting the Democratic nomination for president, set a record for political “convention viewership that exceeded even the expectations of his aides.”
The historic speech by the first African-American presidential nominee of a major political party reached [...]

I am guilty of missing the big night live… With good reason. As Barack Obama begins his journey to the White House, I am preparing to embark on a new journey of my own. As I get closer to the reality, I will share more here. That said, I just watched ландшафтAl Gore’s speech. It [...]

Everyone’s been looking for the Obama bounce in the polls. The Gallup Daily gives Obama a 6 point lead today:
The latest three-day Gallup Poll Daily tracking average (Aug. 25-27) is directly coincident with the first three days of the Democratic National Convention in Denver, and is no doubt beginning to reflect the typical convention “bounce” [...]

I’ll quote Ezra Klein on Bill Clinton’s incredible speech tonight, because Ezra says it all in his opening paragraph:
He left little unsaid. For all the talk of Bill Clinton’s anger, his resentment, his grudges, Clinton took the stage tonight and threw the full weight of his prestige behind Barack Obama. Leveraging that peculiar credibility that [...]

For all who were hoping for a floor fight today… Those hopes were dashed by a classy show of unity as Hillary Clinton called on the DNC to end the roll call vote and nominate Barack Obama by acclamation (emphasis mine):
Although there was some suspense over how the nomination process would play out, in the end, Senator [...]

CNN reports today that Barack Obama’s campaign said “that the details of a potentially contentious roll call had finally been hammered out after weeks of discussion with aides to Hillary Clinton.”
The New York senator’s supporters had successfully pressed for her name to be placed in nomination in Denver, and party leaders had feared that the [...]

Who knew? If it was possible to see even a sliver of the future, what might be different?
Sen. Clinton just gave the presidency to her former rival, Sen. Obama. And in doing so, she accomplished the feat largely by showing the President she would have been, as opposed to the lesser president her campaign, for [...]

If you are wondering where the bloggers are blogging from who are blogging the convention live in Denver, you’ll find most of them at the ‘Big Tent.’
If you want to find bloggers here at the Democratic convention, don’t look inside the Pepsi Center, an island of concrete surrounded by fences, barriers, checkpoints, and heavily armed [...]

Joe Biden met with delegates from his home state of Delaware today, The Caucus reports. Biden was “emotional and apparently exhausted” as he “ventured out early this morning to address,” the delegates.
“I just want you to know that this is a great honor, this is a great honor being nominated vice president of the United States [...]

The United States attorney’s office in Denver has scheduled a news conference for Tuesday afternoon to discuss its investigation. [...]
