"No decisions have been made," Clinton said when asked in California - to whoops and applause - about that possibility. Still, it was hard to miss what Clinton would like to see in the pointed way she added, "Delegates can decide to do this on their own. They don't need permission."

''In the corporate experience, you had more time to think, more time to visit individuals, more time to look around at the organization,'' Regan declares. ''The problems are brought to you here. I miss my ability to, it's not quite snoop, but to look around rather than to have it fed to you through others all the time.''
