Clintons get stuck in elevator at DNC
Sun-Times exclusive: The Clinton family -- Bill, Hillary and Chelsea -- got stuck in an elevator Wednesday night, shortly after they left their box at the Pepsi Center, where the Democratic National Convention is being held in Denver.
The Clintons got stuck midway between one floor and the next, and ultimately had to climb out of the elevator, back up three-and-a-half-feet to the next floor.

The Secret Service was able to pull them out and up. The Clintons eventually took a freight elevator down.
The elevator was full and reportedly everyone was calm while waiting for help, which took approximately three minutes.
Observers were impressed at how calm everyone remained.
Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama, who considers basketball a good luck talisman, played basketball at 9 a.m. today at the Westin Hotel with his good buddy, investment banker Jim Reynolds, and Reynolds' son, J.R. The day before, Obama's youngest daughter, Sasha, was whisked to a bowling alley by Secret Service agents and a gaggle of young children here in Denver with their delegate parents.
