Ready for Clinton's close-up

DENVER - It’s a few hours until Hillary’s close-up and the New Jersey delegation - both the Obama originals and the baby boom Clintonistas still nursing stubbed toes from the primary campaign, are imbibing heavily at the Palm’s in downtown Denver.
"This is a party that I’ve thrown for the delegation and friends of mine from all over the country," says party fundraiser Michael Kempner, head of MWW.
It is perhaps appropriate that Kempner is hosting this mixer a few hours before Clinton speaks. Kempner, after all, was a fierce Clinton partisan during the primary. Then he broke through the hurt feelings of the Group to become the earliest Obama backer among the Democratic Party fundraising elite.
There remains more than a little edge between the old establishment types and the Obama diehards.
"Hopefully it’s the storm before the calm," longtime Obama supporter Sen. Shirley Turner (D-Mercer) says of the Clinton-Obama drama.
State Democratic Chairman Joseph Cryan threads his way through the packed courtyard of delegates bulging out of a side door and says he will be calm on Thursday.
Until then he will shoulder the party’s contradiction, which most of the people you talk to hope will be resolved with Clinton’s speech tonight.

If you look very close you can see the reflection of Karen Golding behind Joe Cryan. And yes I do think that is Jon Corzine giving her another 5 grand just incase she gets in trouble again.
Cheers Sheriff, don't worry about us tax payers back here in Union County who are paying for your drunken excursions. Please Chris Christie start the investigation already of run for Governor!
Latest cutting edge therapy research reveals: Regurgitating
your hurt feels -albeit authentic and very real -over and over again does not create a catharsis or healing! And revisiting every detail in private and or in the public light of exposure...And talking incesently about what coulda and shoulda been is the sure fire pathway to all kinds of negativity and destruction.
The latest Research shows that actively engaging in self less causes, showing and expressing gratitude verbally and in writing everyday, and Dedicating yourself to a mission much larger than yourself, and not constantly tending to perceived bruises and wounds; and engaging in future driven projects and cultivating a host of positive and transcendent emotions and NOT constantly bemoaning the past, mis-perceived entitlements and ascribing blame: Not to mention creatively finding the silver lining while focusing on the present and looking forward and toward the future...Now that's the perfect antidote for an all to prevalent and seemingly never ending, chronically toxic and deadening political condition. -"It's all about me and not the Party!" (Democratic or Republican)
