“As my colleague Mike Madden reported , Hillary Clinton will devote part of her prime-time moment to portraying McCain in ways designed to lure back wavering blue-collar Democrats. And Mark Warner, as Tuesday’s keynote speaker, will certainly take some potshots at the Republicans. But the networks, admittedly egged on by the real-life frictions between the Obama and Clinton camps, have a single story line for tonight — the elusive quest for Democratic Party unity. And in that Obama-vs.-the-Clintons narrative, John McCain is almost as irrelevant as Bob Dole. All signs, including guidance from the Obama and Biden camps, suggest that the six-term Delaware senator will not back away from combat in the erroneous zone, portraying McCain as a good man who has fallen into bad company with conservative Republicans.” (08/26/08)
