Smooth cat.

The link is from Huffington's site accompanying a pretty funny story:

Nancy Pelosi Cuts Short Press Conference, Makes "Beeline" For Obama During His DC Visit

Sen. Barack Obama stepped into a swarm of superdelegates this morning when he visited the House of Representatives in the middle of a vote. Obama stayed on the floor for almost half an hour visiting with both Democrats and Republicans who looked completely star struck.

Even Speaker Nancy Pelosi left her weekly press briefing and made a beeline for the House floor to say hello. And the Capitol Hill press corps surrounded the House Chamber to catch him on his way out and fire questions about such an unusual move for a presidential candidate, even if he is a senator.

The video is mid page on the link above. He's definitely getting the rock star treatment.

11. Party Insiders are trying to jockey for position with the man
about to represent the entire Party as its leader. People like Obama and I sense many Democrats probably aren't feeling very favorable of Clinton and her antics right now. She's coming off as very self-centered.
