My response.

Clinton Issue Won’t Go Away for Obama
During the Democratic Party National Convention this week in Denver, Sen. Barack Obama and his supporters no doubt will talk a lot about what he will do if elected president. But the question of what Obama has not done will hang over his head during the weeks leading up to the Nov. 4 election.

Supporters of Sen. Hillary Clinton, barely defeated by Obama for the Democrat nomination for president, still are bitter, according to many reports. And why not? Obama seems to have done little to satisfy their desire for more influence in his campaign.

Sen. Joe Biden is Obama’s choice for his vice presidential running mate, it was revealed a few days ago. Clinton supporters who had hoped she would get the nod – even a symbolic offer of the second-place spot which she, naturally, would turn down – were disappointed.

Clinton herself is a professional. She will be a good soldier, speaking out strongly and loudly in favor of Obama. Her supporters expect no less.

But they also expect at least some deference from Obama – and they have not yet received it. That is a problem that will come back to haunt Obama if he does not swallow his pride and do something to pacify the Clinton supporters.

Hillary Clinton overshadows Gov. Paterson at breakfast
Monday, August 25th 2008, 7:25 PM

DENVER – The “accidental governor” was accidentally overlooked Monday when New York Democrats got caught up in Hillary fever.

Gov. Paterson was supposed to address members of his home state delegation at a kickoff convention breakfast, but Sen. Clinton caused such a commotion when she entered the room that officials running the show forgot to introduce him.

Sen. Chuck Schumer was speaking when Clinton made her appearance and the crowd started to buzz. These were Clinton’s first public remarks since she arrived in Denver, and the room was packed.

The plan was for Schumer to turn the microphone over to Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver (D-Manhattan), who was emceeing the event. The speaker would then introduce Paterson, who, in turn, would present Clinton.

Schumer jumped the gun and introduced Clinton, nearly exhausting his stable of adjectives in the process. He called her a “woman of valor,” and a “principled, courageous, hardworking, detail-oriented, compassionate and caring person.”

Clinton tried valiantly to remedy the situation at the end of her remarks by introducing Paterson, who she said is “doing an extraordinary job.” It was too late – the crowd had already started to disperse.

Paterson, who is legally blind and couldn’t see the room emptying, nevertheless sensed the crowd’s restlessness and declined to speak.

A source close to Paterson called the moment “awkward,” but insisted the governor was not angry and felt it appropriate the event ended on a high note for Clinton.

Paterson, a superdelegate, campaigned for Clinton during the primary and only switched his allegiance to Barack Obama after it was clear she had lost the campaign.

GREENFUN-BILLIEJO-SOUTHJERSEYPUMA reporting from Denver.
We arrived Sunday……on the prowl from the moment we hit town. Been talking to delegates. Everyone has been interviewed multiple times. The press is constantly following the PUMAs, people in Denver have been really great, not the dangerous confrontation we expected. Cops every where in riot gear, right across from the PUMA HQ.(But friendly and pretty hot looking cops) Today we marched downtown…long flippin’ walk with signs and chanting. Got a lot of attention and Harriet Christan(sp) was with us. Also gave Chris Mathews a lot of cr@p and chanted “sexist pig!” to him while he did the news. We have found many Hillary supporters among the crowd. We don’t have an internet wifi connection that is strong enough to read the blog nor news, nor do we have a tv in our apt. We are just living the PUMA life of rebellion, but we are really being very good PUMAs in general. It is wonderful meeting PUMAs and SouthJersey is going to try to upload some photos for you. (Billie Jo is writing this) We have constantly thought of all of you guys and have you with us at all times. We lite candles for Hillary tonight and it was beautiful.
The PUMA HQs is always packed with PUMAs from all blogs and some delegates. We keep trying to find out the delegate situation with the DNC and it’s monkey business, but never know what is just rumor. Funny thing is how many regular people here already know who PUMAs are, even our cap driver.
People and the media have seen the documentary twice so far and loved it.
We are all working as hard as we can to be visible to the media in hopes that it will pressure the delegates to step up for our girl on Wed. We are all dead tired tonight and the effects of the thin air will make a short post, but will try again tomorrow. Miss and hugs to all of you that are working so hard back at the den. You are here with us and time is short for this chapter of our quest. One more thing, not many *61 supporters expected us so they did not come prepared with Obama signs, so our Hillary signs really dominate when we confront them. All they can hold up are magazine covers with the pretender on them. Got to get some sleep now. Until tomorrow, be good to each other.

Take it upstairs!
