...part, says he wants Huffington to help his credibility by doing all her coverage in a negligee. While Franken looks forward to offending "a few Republican delegates who don't have a sense of humor, who'll get mad at me," he may also slip into Stuart Smalley mode. "I'm going to reach for common ground. I'm going to show that a complete nut-case right-winger and I can get along...

That's what this conference tried to address." Clinton avoided calls from the left, including his own Labor Secretary Robert Reich, to take a more activist approach to combating stagnating wages and job insecurity.
