[A]nother point of contention seems to be the topic of Mr. Clinton's speech on Wednesday night. The theme of the evening is foreign policy, but some associates of Mr. Clinton said he wanted to have license to talk about the economy - or other matters.

Mr. Obama sought to quell that dispute.

"I said as much to him three or four days ago. I said, `Mr. President, you can say whatever you like,' " Mr. Obama said. "Bill Clinton is a unique figure in our politics. This is the only person, the only Democrat, who has been re-elected since F.D.R. And he is somebody who is equally adept at talking about domestic issues and foreign policy issues.

"Now, Wednesday night most of the focus is going to be on foreign policy. But Bill Clinton knows a little bit about trying to yank the economy out of the doldrums and helping middle class families. It wouldn't make much sense for me to want to edit his remarks to prevent him from making a strong case about why we need fundamental economic change in this country."

Hillary got some bad press in the NY Times for all but elbowing her governor, Dave Paterson, out of the way at the NY delegation meeting.  Paterson was supposed to speak, but she went first and used up all his time.  Way to piss off your diehard black supporters, girl.

Here is the NYT link and what was actually reported:

 Mr. Silver spoke first, followed by Mr. Schumer, who was supposed to introduce Mr. Paterson. But the enormous buzz that overtook the room once Mrs. Clinton arrived created some confusion on the dais, and Mr. Paterson was inadvertently passed over.

The gaffe did not go unnoticed by Mrs. Clinton, who tried to introduce Mr. Paterson once she was done speaking. But by then the crowd had already grown restless and began to disperse. Mr. Paterson then quietly slipped out a back door.

I would type in the whole interview but it would be rather long.  But she goes on to describe the breakdowns in Clinton supporters, and this is the only analysis I've seen that's come close to accurate (she's explaining 'what Hillary can and cannot do', in terms of 'unity':

-- one group for Hillary were easy enough to move into the Obama camp.  Will be enthusiastic.
-- people who supported Hillary and not Obama bc they had real objections to Obama's lack of experience, Biden should help with these.
-- 'the PUMA people'.  Furious at the Dem. Party who when Clinton was beaten up by the media never once spoke up against sexism and told people to stop, as they would have had the media made racist comments.  Feel women have been differently.  May never come on to this ticket.  It's not up to Hillary to bring them along, it's up to the Dem. Party. (emphasis mine)

"Let there be no mistake about it, We are united. We are united for change.  And we are united behind Barack Obama and Joe Biden and we are gong to make sure that we win on November 4th."

"We are gathered here in Denver for a very clear and simple purpose, and that is to come out of this convention energized, excited and ready to elect Barack Obama the next president of the United States."

"If you voted for me, you have much more in common with Senator Obama on every issue I campaigned on, on every cause that I have stood for, than you do with Senator McCain."  "I ask each and every one of you to work as hard for Barack and Joe Biden as you worked for me."

She just said Democrats reject all efforts to spy on Americans and to protect the rights of Americans.

As if speaking from the same text, Schumer and Van Hollen also said only a small fraction of Clinton's delegates remained unreconciled to Obama's triumph in the bruising primaries of the winter and spring.

Perhaps so, but they were vocal about it.

Kathleen Kennedy Townsend, the eldest child of the late Robert F. Kennedy and a former lieutenant governor of Maryland, said the animosity that some Clinton delegates feel toward Obama is worsening. "There's a moment that you want to enjoy your bitterness," she said, although she emphasized that she is supporting Obama.

Another Maryland delegate, Mary Boergers said she didn't care what Clinton's wishes were about whom to support on a roll call. "To try to suppress the celebration that we all want to have about her achievements is what would tear this party apart," she said.

Boergers, a lifelong Democrat, added she is unsure whether she will vote for Obama in November.
