A group of Oregon Clinton delegates met privately this morning to discuss their next step. Ten minutes later, a representative emerged to issue an informal press release by merely handing it, handwritten on lined notebook paper, to two nearby bloggers.

"Although the platform is not emphasizing same-sex marriage, if you look around you'll see that the sky has not fallen. The bigots are still bigots but mainstream people do not feel threatened by same-sex marriage," said Kaplan, a Massachusetts DNC delegate.

The Huffington Post's mini day-spa, the Oasis, is one of the hottest venues in Denver "to see and be seen" -- literally, if watching the more attractive members of the fourth estate get rubbed down on a massage table is your thing.

Hillary's convention speech definitely fell short on detailing a personal case for Obama as the right person for the job. That's the core issue for the remaining voters.

Hillary made the case she needed to make to her supporters who were still sitting on the fence, and she did it perfectly, in a speech for the ages.

Obviously Obama is not a Muslim. But even if he was...am I the only one deeply uncomfortable with the fact that the word "Muslim" has become synonymous with "monster" among the PUMA set?

As with all things Clinton, because they are on the losing end, now it is OK to say "party unity my ass." Where is a playwright when you need one, an author who could tack on this most perfect denouement for a divisive family's most divisive campaign?

The real reason voters might go over to McCain is the animosity coming from the Obama people, the people who idolize a leader who "treats people with dignity and respect," as Michelle Obama put it.

For the Democrats, happy times are here again. But there is the Hillary factor. Her biggest job is to convince her most ardent supporters that they, too, must move on with her.

Don't buy into the media narrative that this is some sort of "divided party" -- because today's Democrats aren't. All true Democrats are pulling hard to defeat the legacy of George W. Bush.

Well, my greatest fears were not realized: Hillary Clinton was not chosen for Vice President by Barack Obama. Instead, he chose the 35-year Senator, ...

This stadium thing looks like a really bad idea. But I did not write of this in public, because the blowback to criticizing Obama is so distracting and also because, well, they would probably wait for a man to say it.

The good news is that Russia is no longer governed by an expansionist ideology, and in fact, it is not a strong country, but still a weak one -- the country's economy is a one trick pony.

The pivotal issue is whether Clinton can pick up enough superdelegates who feel Obama's recent actions or McCain's consistent poll numbers cast doubt on Obama's electability.

Watching the escalating spit-fest, we wondered how many more concessions, short of the nomination, the Hillarylanders would extort from the Obamatrons before harmony could descend.

Americans could only consider an Obama, because of the remarkable success of President Bush, through his decisive actions, in ratcheting down the fear Americans felt for many years after 9/11.

Now that Hillary Clinton's name will be placed into nomination at the Democratic National Convention, heads up everyone: Maureen Dowd's next over-the-top, anti-Hillary column is coming.

The Atlantic's Josh Green does not come close to proving that nasty infighting caused Clinton's loss. The piece is so far into the weeds that it misses the big, substantive problems that felled Hillary.

The email campaign, if that's what it is, comes after a closed-door strategy meeting held by members of the pro-Clinton group PUMA and suggests one pre-Convention approach Clinton supporters are adopting.

Last year, Hillary was reigning over the summer debates, shoring up claims to inevitability. Today she's stumping for Barack in Nevada, where it's 110 degrees in the shade. What a difference a summer makes.

Whoever is elected as our next president will have a mess to clean up. He will be caught in the midst of two wars, a sinking economy, outlandish fuel prices and a deficit that is skyrocketing.

Anti-abortion crusaders, pro-choice progressives, blacks, whites, gays, heterosexuals, evangelicals, or atheists, we must all step out of our subcultures and work together to save our country.
