Picture of the Day
I gotta be honest. I still find Al Gore boring.
It sounded like Chauncey Billups did pretty well with the crowd, though.
Then there was this seemingly bizarre non-televised moment where Michigan Governor Jennifer Granholm held up her shoe to praise Hillary Clinton, “The ones wearing nylons and high-heeled shoes, these high heels and others like them have carried a lot of weight for first women everywhere,” Granholm said as she held up one of her own shoes.

Do women and men have different needs for recognition? Culturally speaking, do men expect and give recognition for achievement differently than women do? And is it therefore possible for women (female Hillary supporters) to perceive a lack of acknowledgment or respect for "their" work, and for men to be unaware of this, thinking they've acknowledged the work as they would any peer?
With Hillary having made her campaign about gender identity, to a large extent, this primary wasn't so much co-ed as it was the girls team vs. the boys team. On occasion this is how Hillary's explicitly framed herself and her campaign. I'm wondering if we're seeing a cultural, gender difference in how men and women view competition, consolation and reconciliation.
There is a dimension here that is uniquely feminine and until it's explained to me it will continue to allude me.

Good question. I can't say.
And, let's remember that Clinton's campaign wasn't about gender identity until the legacy phase when it was clear she had already lost. That's the rewriting of history she wants, and it doesn't really reflect the reality.

Too bad Granholm was born in Canada, she'd make a great president!
