...settle on Lieberman last Sunday night, Gore had to navigate the competing claims of advisers who in some cases were pushing their own clients for the job. Media consultants Bob Shrum and Tad Devine were arguing hard for their client, John Edwards, saying he would be a "rock star" on the trail. Some top Gore people thought that Shrum and Devine's advocacy crossed the line toward conflict of interest, but Gore knew about their ties to Edwards--and skewered their enthusiasm with a remark about how much of his own money Edwards had spent to get elected...

Harold Ford Jr., had to flip to stay ahead of the Teddy and Caroline tour of the convention-hall news desks.

A tad larger and heavier than the V phone, the T900 opens up like a makeup case to reveal a miniature keyboard and screen about twice the size of the V phone's display.
