Bully Pulpit

The term "bully pulpit" stems from President Theodore Roosevelt's reference to the White House as a "bully pulpit," meaning a terrific platform from which to persuasively advocate an agenda. Roosevelt often used the word "bully" as an adjective meaning superb/wonderful. The Bully Pulpit features news, reasoned discourse, opinion and some humor.

House of Pain

(Fox News) - Democratic Congresswoman Loretta Sanchez of California is predicting that many House Democrats will join her and vote for Hillary Clinton at the Democratic National Convention. The Obama campaign confirmed Friday that there will be a floor vote at the Denver convention, although purely symbolic in nature. That vote is aimed at fostering Democratic unity.

Congresswoman Sanchez says, "I think half the House Democrats would probably be Hillary supporters, especially women... I felt she was the most experienced and the best candidate and I still feel that way."

One longtime Clinton adviser told the Politico newspaper that between 600 and 1,200 superdelegates could cast their ballots for the former first lady.
