Greetings from Little Rock

I've been in Little Rock since Monday for "Clinton Week" -- a whole bunch of festivities celebrating the opening of the Clinton Presidential Center on Thursday. Look for a detailed report this weekend when I'm back in D.C.

In the meantime, if you want to keep up with the news, gossip, and celebrity sitings, the Arkansas Times has a daily blog that's dishing out all the dirt.

Briefly, there's a lot of talk about Hillary in 2008 (get your t-shirts here), a lot of jockeying for the A-list parties, and strategic planning about next steps for the Dems. As for the mood, it's clearly a week for nostalgia, celebration, and optimism -- a nice break from the hand-wringing, finger-pointing, and second-guessing of Democrats back home.
