Dear EmailNation Subscriber,
The Nation has an all-star team of reporters in Denver this week blogging the
convention and producing daily podcasts and exclusive videos.
A Call for Unity
Katrina vanden Heuvel | Hillary Clinton appealed, with heart and head, to the
raw emotions of her supporters to welcome Obama as their candidate.
http://www.thenation.com/blogs/edcut/349154
No Red Meat from Warner
John Nichols | No one, except maybe Mark Warner, will remember this
convention's keynote address.

In Search of the Elusive PUMAs
Katha Pollitt | Were they McCain supporters all along?
http://www.thenation.com/blogs/anotherthing/348751/in_search_of_the_elusive_pumas
Bubbas for Barack
Bob Moser | Two guys from Missouri tackle the race issue with gimme caps,
t-shirts and a little common sense.
http://www.thenation.com/blogs/campaignmatters/349180
The Illusory Middle
Victor Navasky | Undecided voters don't care about left or right: they simply
want a candidate they can trust. As he shifts to the center, Obama risks losing
his greatest asset--authenticity.

No Free Lunches (Except for Corporate Sponsors)
Ari Berman | It's all about sushi and microbrews for VIPs at the Democratic
convention, as long as the food is served on toothpicks.

Famous in Japan
Richard Kim | A chance encounter with a Japanese journalist and Nation fan
makes my day at the DNC. http://www.thenation.com/blogs/notion/349271
>From King to Jackson to Obama
Steve Cobble | Barack Obama stands on the shoulders of many as he becomes the
Democratic presidential nominee. One set of those shoulders belongs to Jesse
Jackson.

It's Time for a New Strategy
As the economy becomes the central issue of the 2008 elections the costs of
occupying Iraq continue to soar. It is well past the time to implement a
different strategy that will meet US and Iraqi security, economic and political
needs.
The first priority of the next president should be to end the occupation of
Iraq to restore our economy and shift resources into addressing the global
energy crisis. Help Peace Action deliver this message to the next president in
January by signing the petition today.
