Sitting inside the Pepsi Center, watching delegates dancing to the sounds of a funk band and screaming their heads off each time Barack Obama's name is mentioned, it's hard to believe that outside, the cable news networks are talking obsessively about tensions between the Obama and Clinton camps. It's one thing to train your camera on the spectacle of "PUMA" protesters wearing Clinton T-shirts adorned with McCain stickers, many of whom are registered and lifelong Republicans. It's another to imply that these folks somehow represent Democratic delegates, or are the theme of the convention itself.
At the Hispanic Caucus this morning, I saw dozens of people with tears trailing down their cheeks as Hillary spoke. They were tears of pride -- bittersweet tears, for sure -- but not tears of anger or regret. Every single person was wearing an Obama button.
