While President George W. Bush was making his case to the American people last night, a high-powered gathering of 150 Democrats was convening at Hil and Bill's house in Chappaqua.
The pow-wow consisted of supporters and fund-raisers of New York's junior senator, and the topic was Hillary Rodham Clinton's 2006 re-election bid, according to sources close to the Clintons.
The gathering was not related to any 2004 presidential aspirations, although that topic wasn't off limits to those in attendance, sources said.
Part of the discussion centered on the distribution of funds from the senator's personal fund raising committee and Hillary.com, her newly started cash-generating Web site.
Attendees were treated to the senator's reports on her recent activities in Washington, including her intention to block Bush's appointments to the Environmental Protection Agency.
It wasn't specifically a fund raising meeting, sources said, but some checks may have changed hands.
Bill Clinton was also on hand.
The Dems were not exactly glued to the tube at 8:30 pm, when Bush went on national TV to urge support of his war on terror and continuing operations in Iraq. At that moment they were attentively listening to Bill Clinton's former White House chief of staff John Podesta, who is now a visiting professor at Georgetown Law Center, deliver a talk.
