On Wednesday night, Sen. Edward M. Kennedy hosted the nine Democratic members of his health and education committee at an intimate dinner in his home in Washington's Kalorama neighborhood. The surroundings were stylish, the food home-cooked and tasty.
And then there was the entertainment.
The gathering included a former presidential candidate, Sen. Tom Harkin of Iowa, and a close friend of Kennedy's, Sen. Christopher J. Dodd of Connecticut. But the star attractions were Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York and Barack Obama of Illinois, two junior committee members who may be duking it out for the 2008 Democratic presidential nomination in a matter of months.
The air was thick with ambition. "I don't know why we're here, Bernie," Rep. Sherrod Brown (Ohio) quipped to a fellow senator-elect, Rep. Bernard Sanders (I-Vt.), as the guests walked into the dining room.

Ah yes, the media will make it seem like Hillary and Obama are fighting each other tooth and nail (they won't).
Then, in an olive-branch gesture, Hillary will ask Obama to be her running mate and the media will release the doves.
With Obama at her side, Hillary will cement the black vote as well as the female vote.
She will be invincible unless the GOP can stage an equally compelling duo.
And Iowa went.
This is just a story to keep both of these turkeys in the news. Actually, it is also trying to change the perception of these turkeys to eagles, but IMHO this is doomed to fail.
Look, Hillary knows that Democrats have been losing the black vote over the last few elections. Obama can lock it up.
Hillary knows that the majority of the female vote is the key to victory. Her gender locks that up.
Someone please show me how Guiliani or McCain or anyone currently being dicussed can beat her?
The Beast and The Boast
We're screwed!
How silly! If her husband could speak by minimizing the southern drawl to win the White House, I think Hillary will demonstrate a surprising ability to give rousing speeches by 2008.
And if you think the media will be fair.......
Egad! I don't know if I'm up to the media's playing all this out the next two years. I think I'm gonna' retch!
"During a routine vote yesterday morning, Obama and Clinton brushed past each other on the Senate floor. Obama winked and touched Clinton on her elbow. Without pausing, she kept walking."
His hand will fall off now.
Obama is a secret team player or he is dead.
Well, they have a lot in common, such as sweetheart land deals.
Neither is qualified. But Hillary might pick him as a running mate for his speaking abilities so she can keep her big fat mouth shut so she doesn't say things like f'n Jew and plantation.
Yep and the two of them will be a nightmare ticket in 08
I sure as heck hope our side comes up with someone good
Because it's looking like a 1996 election
Keep an eye on Obama. He just might commit "Arkenside"!
He's not running against her .. he's running with her
Prediction, Obama will be Hillary's running mate.
Hitlerry will only the spotlight on her & NOONE else! Mr. Obama will only be in the way, of her keeping that.
