Washington Whispers by Paul Bedard

They Still Love Hillary in Denver

DENVER—A day after Sen. Hillary Clinton called on her delegates to back Sen. Barack Obama, there were still many signs around Denver and the Democratic National Convention that her fans were not going away quietly. As I walked around the downtown area, along the 16th Street Mall and close to the Pepsi Center, there were pockets of supporters still calling for her to fight tonight during the state roll call vote. The largest group of Hillary backers, pictured above, set up camp just three blocks from the Pepsi Center and about as close as anybody can get without a special pass. And along 16th Street, there were smaller groups, like the two women pictured, Elizabeth McPherson of Texas, on the left, and Maureen Morrison Long from Oregon on the right.

Hillary was the best choice for the Dems........they blew it!!

Hillary for President

I have been a republican for decades but voted for Hillary in the primaries and haven't changed my mind despite this "hoopdala" trying to make me feel guilty if I don't vote for Obama coming out of the convention. After listening to both Hillary and Bill, it is puzzling that anyone thinks Obama could do a better job. I am one of her 18 million who isn't jumping ship; I suspect there are many more of us.
