DENVER, Colo. -- Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., was already not having the Democratic National Convention that she'd been hoping for, her and her husband's well-received speeches notwithstanding.

Then it got worse.

After Wednesday night's festivities ended, there was a minor elevator mishap at the Pepsi Center that involved Clinton, sources tell ABC News.

Apparently, the elevator got stuck between floors, stranding Clinton and others for several minutes. For about five minutes inside the elevator, it was "hectic" and not a little claustrophobic -- the elevator was overpacked, which is why it stopped, a source says. The doors needed to be pushed open, and some of those in the elevator -- a couple of Secret Service agents -- needed to be lifted and squeezed out in order for it to start moving again.

Clinton was seen leaving the scene looking a tad shellshocked, but an aide said, "She's fine."

Editor note: Its time for Hillary to understand and get the feeling of the many new yorkers that are affected daily from elevator problems, especially after the wide media report of the horrific death of the beloved young boy Jacob Newman from Williamsburg.

Maybe this will wake her up.

Please explain how Hillary should fix this problem. I would think that Mike Bloomberg, as mayor of NY, would be a better source.

Hillary can use it and build on it to say how she was trapped in a combat zone under hostile attack, might be a good gimmick in her next campaign

She was shell shocked from a stuck elevator!!

What would she do with a terror attack if she was president (chas v'sholom) - cleanup in aisle 3 in her pantsuit.

Maybe Bill and co-president was shell shocked from first WTC bombing or Kobar Towers or Embassies or USS Cole or maybe it was the HarMonica.

Incompetents!!! Someone Please defeat her in next Senate race!

Understand something, Hillary could care less about Jewsih children in Brooklyn. They don't vote & they don't pay bribes like only Jews she does care about... The ones that live in New Square.
