Great video piece on the history of the DNC. Can't wait to see the RNC one next week

Hillary has like a fourty man goon squad going around to keep order among her delegates. I doubt there will be any dissent in the matter on the convention floor.

I'll listen to the speeches at night but I'm not too enthused. I still have a hard time getting excited about Obama.

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #11 on:** August 25, 2008, 11:48:43 AM »

Hope she can keep them in-line and they dont see the floor vote as some 'last chance' bullshit

Fragamemnon · « **Reply #12 on:** August 25, 2008, 12:00:54 PM »

I read that some 80% of ALL the delegates are planning to vote Obama at this point. It's not an issue.

Phoenix Dark · « **Reply #13 on:** August 25, 2008, 12:28:03 PM »

her delegates should be able to vote however they want - at the end of the day Obama will get the nomination. She has many female delegates who want to vote for her, not because they want to stir trouble but because this is an opportunity they've waited their entire life for. I don't think we can possibly comprehend just how important that is to some women. The same would be true of Obama's delegates if he had lost - there would be many black delegates who'd do the same thing.

Showing unity at the DNC is essential to winning in November. Last thing we need is the undecideds looking at the "decideds" and thinking we're "undecideds" as well and voting for McCain cause half of them arent rallying around Huck.

Agreed. Unity is essential. Even Hillary knows this and probably told her delegates to switch to Obama.

Pelosi is good only for photo ops. The shining moments of per position was the first two months where she just went around and smiled with other Democrats and a few Republicans. It all went downhill from there. My moment when I knew she was shit was when she went to Syria. That and the several instances of her incompetency.

She is a woman and the face of the 2006-2008 congress but when push comes to shove, she doesn't deliver.

What I find funny is people (in the larger sense) talk about the slavering coverage of Obama as a critique of Obama, and not the press in general.

It ends up hurting him because 1. the focus encourages coverage fatigue in viewers, 2. the attention means every thing he does is under more scrutiny than is warranted, and 3. while McCain is under-reported, so are his failings, gaffes, etc.

I really like this guy. I genuinely want him to lead me. He seems like a smart, well intentioned dude. As opposed to McCain who is busy purchasing Dr. Robotnik's Evil Drilling Machines at an estate sale.

I've spent a lot of time doing research on the candidates and siding with Obama because, hey, let's try something different. But now I want to vote for him because I like him. I genuinely like him and I'd be proud to have a dude like that repp'ing my country.

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #37 on:** August 26, 2008, 12:32:55 AM »

The McCain camp responds:

"If Senator Obama is willing to let roving bands of black youths onto the stage at the Democratic Convention, just imagine what our cities will look like if he is elected. There were certainly no roving bands of black youths in the POW camp where Senator McCain was imprisoned and held for 5 1/2 years."

It's meant to reflect the hidden truth that he's a charismatic lightweight who has had his successes handed to him by a biased media. It's basically the same meme as the "he's such a great orator that he must be dumb" one that Synth Patel brought up a while ago.

Completely silly of course.

Who says that though? I can understand, "he's such a great orator it doesn't matter what he's saying people eat it up regardless," or, "he's great with prepared remarks but can't speak on his toes," but I don't think I've seen your idea bandied about. I think even if you call him a political lightweight it doesn't preclude the man from being personally intelligent.

Well of course he has speech writers. Everyone does. Thing is, Obama actually works with his speech writers all the time. So that's usually genuinely him talking, not somebody else.

And you're like only the third person I've met who doesn't like Biden.

He's not perfect. Just like Obama's not perfect. But regardless, he's only the VP. I really don't think the VP is going to play a main role as much as Cheney did in the next administration. Biden was chosen strictly as a political advantage to try and sway a certain demographic, that's all.

APF · « **Reply #48 on:** August 26, 2008, 09:53:57 AM »

I think on the contrary he will be a strong, Cheney-like VP, which is a trend I really don't like. VP should be a shameful, depressing position of irrelevance and boredom.

I don't give a shit if Biden comes from Thomas Jefferson's jungle fever stricken bloodline or not.

That man did not run in any primary. He did not get a single vote for the executive election in any race whatsoever, period.

He comes from Delaware. WTF kind of influence does his state have on America and in the Congress, anyway? Those hippies should form a new nation with Rhode Island, Vermont, New Hampshire, and maybe even Connecticut. We have no room in America for city-states, unless you're called New York City, thank you very much.

And yet, Obama picks Biden in favor of Hilary Clinton because Obama just got made the political machine's bitch.

Obama didn't win Iowa because of middle class appeal.

He won that racist state because that's how sick and tired they are of the GOP's fuck ups.

Oh, ok. Well, did he run in any of the primaries for this year's election? No. Hilary Clinton did. She even won some key states.

And why the hell would you pick somebody who has ran three times and struck out?

He wasn't on my radar and Obama just threw away a near perfect campaign by not picking Hilary Clinton.

What a tool.

Obama = Political Machine's Bitch.
