DENVER—Hanging out on the 16th Street Mall earlier today I saw City Councilman James Sanders of Queens, an early Obama supporter.

When I asked if he was boasting to his New York colleagues about backing the winner in the primary, Sanders laughed heartily and said no. He added, jokingly, that the official word from the Obama campaign to supporters like him is: "No smugness."
