Reply #6: There is nothing here that hasn't already been said and it is biased

If I am reading it right - "theonly perticipant let him name be used" - so Novak called him "Gus" is later identifies as Lanny Davis! Why call him Gus? Now, Davis was as angry a Clinton person in his many times on TV as there ever was and he's a long time Clinton defender, making Novack's firstdescription misleading,

Novak stumbles on some honesty when he mentions that many here were likely to get the plum ambassadorsips. But, ignoring that, by definition these were people who have likely dreamed of either HRC as President or a Clinton redo for 8 years - of course it will take a long time for them to get over that. He also says that, unlike 1980, they are not speaking of not voting or contributing - that might be the best that can be expected at this point. I would bet the money men and strongest backers of Bradley or Dean would - a month after their choice was out and before the convention would have said the same things. More pertaintly, I still hear on RW radio in the brief bursts I can tolerate, a lot of regret that McCain is the candidate - and it gets no front page WP coverage.

The other question is why does any paper give Novak employment, much less front page exposure. This is nothing but an attempt to generate buyer regret - before Obama even gets the nomination - ignoring that he is polling ahead of McCain.
