..And I’m at a wedding in Maine. I wasn’t able to get up there to check it out first hand.
But based on news reports and early commentary in the blogosphere, while the presentation came off well, there was nothing new on the menu, or in the kitchen; Clintonista’s and Obamamaniacs are still at odds.
Thanks to Pejman at REDSTATE for these top two links.
One major Clinton donor described it this way: “This felt like when your mom forces you to go visit your Aunt Ida and she has to pinch your cheeks and you’re sitting there in an uncomfortable suit and you can’t wait to leave.”

…But a few minutes later, a few, less happy donors asked pointed questions. According to someone in the room, one Clinton donor asked Obama directly whether he was going to add her to the ticket as his vice presidential nominee. Even Sen. Clinton looked uncomfortable, gesturing to Obama to move on, which he did.
As I poke around…The NH GOP didn’t have much to say.
CONCORD – Fergus Cullen, Chairman of the New Hampshire Republican Party, made the following statement today:
“Characteristic of the Obama campaign, today’s event was long on symbolism and short on substance. While Barack Obama talks about working across the aisle, John McCain has an actual record of bipartisan reform. Today’s event was nothing more than a partisan love-fest that showed Obama’s real stripes.”
But A few women from PUMA, I have read, were there to make their case for Hillary’s victory. The PUMA party is a Democrats for McCain outfit. PUMA is Party Unity my A**. Always good to have people out there exercising their rights.
Over all I don’t have much to add. I’ll try to get caught up and come back to this later.
