"While Barack was at the gym each morning, I had to get my hair done," Clinton said. "It's one of those Ginger Rogers, Fred Astaire things." Zing. Apparently, being friends doesn't mean you can't also be a little bit bitter.

Who will provide the flashlight, the superglue, the call to action, the call to unify for the Party? Will it be Howard Dean or Nancy Pelosi or Harry Reid?

Many moving things have been said about how so many girls now believe that they can be anything they want because of Hillary -- but there's also an impact on boys, like my own two sons.

Last night Hillary mirrored Nixon's famous and pathetic speech. In 1952 he told a national audience he was not a quitter and appealed to voters to help decide whether he should be the vice presidential candidate. "Wire and write," he said.

The U.K. Telegraph reports that Obama staffers are in discussions on when to pay off Clinton's campaign debt and are serious about offering her a place in the administration, perhaps as health secretary.

The Democratic Party has its work cut out for it with Vets if Hillary does not get the Democratic nomination. Senator Obama has zero traction in the VFW and American Legion Halls.

At an Indianapolis press conference, Obama struggled to draw a clear distinction for voters between his policies and those of Hillary Clinton. "It's tough," he said, "a lot of our differences get blurred."

The long primary is not all bad. There is record voter turnout; tremendous numbers of new voters; large numbers of independents voting Democratic. These are all major pluses. Take a breath, people.

Two Philadelphia City Paper writers chose to go undercover to find out how the volunteer operations for Obama and Clinton actually worked. Ethical? Maybe. Revealing? Absolutely.

It's simple, grassroots, startup ideas that have poked holes in the Clinton 1990s-style carefully crafted mass-media-ready messages. Internet news. Facebook. Hordes of young community volunteers.

Obama's politics of change is just a more subtle version of the same. He said the debate was all about "gotcha games" and "slash-and-burn politics." Then he said Clinton "looked in her element" on stage there.

Don't tell me about how Sen. Obama grew up. His statements demonstrate he doesn't understand small town life or rural voters. Sen. Clinton is the one connecting with us. He could learn from her.

Senator Evan Bayh is on the short-list of vice-presidential candidates for both Obama and Clinton -- so his effectiveness as the potential president of the Senate is a matter of some importance.

Many people have become sensitized -- even hypersensitized -- to issues of racism in this campaign, and words and attitudes are being examined and questioned. But sexism seems to go largely unnoticed or, if it is noticed, is dismissed as irrelevant.

This doesn't go down very well with a lot of voters, especially with the working class and underpaid professional women who make up many of Senator Clinton's supporters -- women who may have been passed over for jobs in the past and who work for 80 cents of a man's dollar.
