After a primrary season divided between two of their colleagues, the Democratic women of the Senate rallied together behind a 10-item Checklist for Change they said they would pursue through the rest of the election season.

"This is a way to show that whether you were for Hillary or whether you were for Barack, that we've come together," said Sen. Barbara Mikulski of Maryland, who was a national co-chairwoman of Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign. "It's all part of our momentum for the campaign."

Mikulski and fellow Clinton supporters Maria Cantwell and Patty Murray of Washington, Dianne Feinstein of California, Blanche Lincoln of Arkansas and Debbie Stabenow of Michigan now will be working to woo women, seen as a key segment of the electorate, on behalf of Barack Obama.

Joined by Obama supporters Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota and Claire McCaskill of Missouri, and Barbara Boxer of California, Mary Landrieu of Louisiana and Debbie Stabenow of Michigan, who remained neutral during the primary campaign, they unveiled a to-do list that included providing equal pay for equal work, keeping jobs in America, making healthcare affordable and taking care of military families and veterans.

1. I thought Stabenow was a Clinton supporter

But I could be wrong about that.

5. Sharon! I don't suppose

you went to the Obama/Gore rally last night? That sounded like one you might have enjoyed...;)

6. Oh, yeah, I was there!

I was volunteering and had no idea until we were all standing around outside while they were trying to organize us that Gore would be there. I got a text message from Obama saying there would be live video of Gore's endorsement at 8:30, which I knew meant he was there. I was in heaven! I've been hoping for weeks they'd do this here like they did with Edwards in Grand Rapids. It's rare to want something like that to happen and then have it actually happen! I was jumping up and down like a little kid when I got the text message.
