This Democratic National Convention is going to be interesting, to say the least. Many people are already referring to the 1968 DNC in Chicago, where riots broke out between war protesters and police - which I’m not sure is a relevant comparison.
It is going to be interesting in my humble opinion because it might just pit the people versus the political establishment. By saying that, I mean that it will be very interesting if Obama wins the popular vote among democrats to get on their ticket, but the “super” delegates put Hillary on it.
The “dream ticket” that the Clintons mentioned with Obama as VP came as a surprise to me, as I’m sure it did Barack, and I can only perceive it as a dream ticket for the republicans - maybe Hillary is on the GOP take to mess with the dems’ campaign? Wouldn’t that be interesting! I mean with a republican candidate as democrat-friendly as McCain - would it even be necessary?
Speaking of the GOP and McCain, I haven’t heard anything about McCain’s campaign financing issues which were mentioned recently. Maybe it will surface again once he’s chosen a running mate. I don’t think we’ll hear much directly from his campaign until he’s officially announced as the republican candidate anyway. Frankly I’m hoping that he picks Ron Paul, but I’m doubtful. If people are concerned about his age, he’ll probably pick someone younger. I’ve heard mention that he’ll pick Romney, but I seriously doubt it.
i think that this is all going to hurt the democrats, but a long time hillary supporter, i think obama is just going to run down the clock, keeping ahead in delegates until there are no more primaries for hillary, i don’t think this is going to go to the convention
