Wednesday's lengthy floor session, the penultimate one of the 2008 Democratic National Convention, might be remembered by those relatively few individuals who experienced all of it -- mainly delegates and other direct participants -- as a fairly complete grab bag of styles, performances, and obligations. A larger audience may recall mainly the Dramatis Personae.
Hillary Night08/27/2008 - 03:13 pm
Early on, it appeared that Hillary might actually be setting up for a grudge match with a rope-a-dope form of campaigning by referring to her list of reasons for seeking the Presidency and excluding all but one mentioning of Barack Obama.

Teddy Says Hello... and Maybe Goodbye08/26/2008 - 05:40 pm
In the minds of the American public, Kennedys do not grow old. Or sick and infirmed. John and Bobby are forever young. But last night, we saw the youngest and last of the Kennedy brothers slowly totter to the podium to deliver an emotional farewell, for he is quite possibly dying.
"Hillary Watch" in Denver08/26/2008 - 04:34 pm
This afternoon, just outside Denver's Pepsi Center a group of Hillary Clinton hard-cases gathered, sporting posters with supportive slogans painted in red drippy letters that would have looked more appropriate outside a Halloween haunted house ...
