Democratic Convention!
The Democratic National Convention (DNC) began last night in Denver, CO! Usually these Conventions are full of pomp and circumstance, so orchestrated that the speaker can’t sneeze without permission. First Read has a good analysis of the last night’s speakers up.
There will be rock bands, movie stars, speeches, and lots and lots of cheering! I’ve never been to a national convention, but I understand these events always sit on the verge of pure chaos. Pure, orchestrated, chaos.
But that’s interesting about this DNC is that there is STILL feuding between the Clinton and Obama camps. Some Clinton supporters are still quite upset about what happened in the primary and they’re going to let everyone know about it. What’s interesting is that Hillary Clinton herself has put her full support behind Mr. Obama.
The Democrats hope to get several things done this week at the Convention. Most of all, however, they want to introduce Joe Biden as the new VP, and get a big boost over McCain in the coming weeks. Remember, as soon as the Democrats finish their Convention, the Republicans start theirs up!
It’ll be a fascinating week, and a fascinating introduction to politics for most of you!
Watch the conventions tonight and write your constructive comments on them here for 2 ‘possible points.’

Aaron – perhaps you should check your facts again on this whole ‘Anti-Christ’ thing.
I’m alittle skeptical of Obama…I feel he may have some frightening parallels to the AntiChrist as the book of Revelations has described. Now its not like me to get “religious” and “holy” but… I’m not too quick to jump on the Obama Rama Bandwagon.
If I had to choose though, I would ultimately choose Obama though.
I just got to watch a little bit of the democratic national convention. Man can Obama make a speech! He is definetly the one who I want to see in elected in 08!
“i am for barney smith, not smith barney!” go obama!
No McCain wants to keep the troops in Iraq. I was saying President Bush is like McCain. Go Obama!! I do worry about Obama just because he would be the first black president and i have heard there are threats against him.
i agree with beets we are spending way too much of the country’s and the peoples tax money to keep the troops over there. we have acomplished what we wanted to do so there is no reason for men to still be killed. go McCain
I think we should pull our troops out too but slowly because if we pull them out to fast then it will leave the state of Iraq in total utter chaos.
Bush is just a really crappy president and he should not of been elected for a second term.
oh ok … i can honestly agree that we need to get the troops out of the war … we cant afford 4 more years … and we cant afford 4 more years of what Bush would do (McCain)
