Hillary Clinton Gives The Atlantic Its Best Traffic Ever (FishbowlNY, Media Bistro)
Via Politico comes word that Joshua Green's article at The Atlantic that details the inner workings of the Hillary Clinton campaign has clocked 1.3 million page views, giving it an all-time high and nearly tripling what the site receives on a daily basis.
I still haven't figured out why the media pushed and shoved Hillary to get out of the race. Their readership and viewership skyrockets when she's in the forefront of the news. Honestly, these folks are killing their own livelihoods. The experts agree with me. See below.-Caro
News outlets should stay away from the political conventions
"Unless a brokered convention threatens to break out, these political gatherings tend to produce very little real news," writes Jack Shafer. He suggests reporters stay home and let political junkies turn to C-SPAN for convention coverage.
See also Jeff Jarvis: "Covering conventions is an waste". However, if they'd help us mount an insurrection, they'd again start to get lots of coverage over politics.-Caro

36 Years Later Chisholm's Dream Comes True (from Walk A Mile In Our Shoes, posted at Clinton Democrats)
The whole world will be listening as Senator Hillary Clinton's name is read as the first viable women presidential candidate ever to be on the roll call for all delegates to vote on at the Democratic National Convention in Denver... 36 years after Shirley Chisholm declared her goal of becoming the "real, viable candidate", as a woman for President of the united states, Hillary Clinton has finally achieved that dream, not only in earning the title of fist "real, viable candidate", but has gone much further... She has earned the right to be considered one of two possible nominees, she has demonstrated that a woman not only can, but if nominated, will win the white house for the Democratic Party.
Of course, as we know, the Democratic Party leaders don't seem to care about winning the White House. They know as well as you and I do that Obama, who should be well ahead in the polls, is instead stalling. They know as well as you and I do that Clinton polls much better than Obama against McCain.-Caro
