Below are links to some of the interviews I gave at the 2008 Democratic National Convention
During the Democratic National Convention I was interviewed on CNN by Dana Bash. The interview appeared as part of CNN’s introduction to the convention and was shown around the world.
Transcript:
(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)
BASH (voice-over): Hillary Clinton’s first convention audience was her home state political army. She pleaded with them to be good party soldiers.
SEN. HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON (D), NEW YORK: And now I ask each and every one of you to work as hard for Barack and Joe Biden as you worked for me.
BASH: But that’s a nonstarter for some Clinton delegates.
(on camera): Who are you here to vote for?
MARK FRIEDLAND, CLINTON DELEGATE: I’m here to vote for Hillary Clinton.
BASH: Mark Friedland is a Democratic delegate from North Carolina who says the bitter primary battle isn’t over for him, and blames Barack Obama for not reaching out to Clinton supporters.
FRIEDLAND: If he had welcomed us, even two, three months ago, had welcomed the Clinton delegates, had welcomed Hillary Clinton, had involved us all in the process of running this convention, there wouldn’t be any question about tension and disunity.
BASH: Democratic strategists are concerned that disunity is the biggest threat to Obama making Denver a success. Some Clinton confidants are downright furious that Obama didn’t reach out to either Hillary or Bill Clinton before picking a running mate, calling it a missed opportunity.
JAMES CARVILLE, DEMOCRATIC STRATEGIST: As a Hillary Clinton supporter, I’m not impressed — neither impressed nor pleased with the way this was handled.
BASH: But Obama supporters point to high-profile speaking slots for both Clintons as proof they’re trying to achieve what they need, unity.

“The responsibility for bringing these disgruntled Hillary Clinton supporters back to the Democratic Party lies squarely on the shoulders of Barack Obama and nobody else.”
