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.

I'll bet it was, among other things.
I don't know why they are there either. They are nothing but commies.
I have a hard time believing Hillary would choose anyone who could upstage her as a running mate. Someone bland and nondescript like Bill Richardson would be her pick. doesn't need Obama for the black vote - she'll get that anyhow, but Richardson could help her with the Latino vote. Richardson is a Clintonista and has been for a LONG time. They can control and manage Richardson. Wonder if they've already made a deal with him behind the scenes and that's why he's getting his face and name out there now.
I also think Hillary and her crowd are somewhat peeved that a young upstart like Obama has upset their apple cart. They'll make sure Obama will learn a valuable lesson - in the Democrat party, you have to earn your dues and wait your turn.
This is the same women who allowed her husband to treat her like a door mat
She will do anthing to reach her goal
Watch for all the "IS"'s in his speeches.
Did teddy offer anyone a ride home?
Don't be surprised if Obama suddenly turns up dead. Suicide maybe
the media will want a charismatic liberal and they will get one. Once the media gets what they want, the sheeple will come out.
Its starting to look like this country will lose in 08. It looks likely that we end up with Hilary or Obama versus Rudy or McCain. So it'll be two left liberals, a liberal RINO, or a crazy man. We badly need a strong conservative candidate to surface.
"I have a hard time believing Hillary would choose anyone who could upstage her as a running mate. "
I agree. Her ego is too big. I think though that Obama could likely beat her in a primary. A lot of Democrats are scared of Hilary too.
I agree .. but we also lost a few possibilities in the last election
I'll bet $5.00 she won't be the candidate. Watch Evan Bayh, the young socialist as the dark horse.
God help us if either one of them gets into the White House.
It will be the worst 4 years this nation has ever seen.
