Sometimes It Feels Like Clinton is Still Running Against Obama

DENVER—At times it feels like there are still 2 candidates running for the Democratic nomination here in Denver. This is despite Sen. Hillary Clinton's best efforts to unite her supporters behind Sen. Barack Obama. I just left the DNC's Women's Caucus event where die-hard Hillary fans were to be found in great number, talking to media and sporting Hillary paraphernalia. Last night I ran into a lifelong Democratic activist and fundraiser trying to promote a story about "Obama camps" where young Obama fans were trained to disrupt and take over caucuses in the states. Then there's the "get over it" crowd. But the diehards I'm encountering aren't getting over anything.
