Democratic National Convention '08

Yes, it would be like most presidents in our history. Dithering old white men.

Yeah, but it is a good commercial for McCain, "I know a lot of you think I'm old, but I'd remind you that that this nonogenarian is only three heartbeats from the presidency. I've seen him naked in the Senate showers, trust me that man is ooooollllldddddd."

Bill will make it all about himself. I doubt he even mentions Obama.

Well ya know, it was the primary, do we really expect people to make nice in the primaries? Do we really believe all the politic-nasty-speak in the primary season? I take all the nasty back biting in the primary with a grain of salt. Hillary and Obama and McCain and Romney (if he gets the veep end of the ticket), it's the same.

I don't expect her to take anything back and I fully expect McCain to keep using her primary-era quotes in ads.

I'm confused as to what Hillary's nomination means. It was announced at the DNC along with Obama's.

[Alex]

Nothing, it just means that her name is up for consideration and that delegates will be voting for her. Worst case all the state delegations cast their votes as determined in the primaries and the superdelegates cast whatever vote they want and Obama wins.

Or, a symbolic show will be made of voting for her and at some point she'll withdraw her name and ask that Obama be nominated by acclamation.

I think this was the plan.

and Alex wins!

Well, I did use the old mentalist trick of already knowing what was going to happen before it happened. The plan was announced last night.

I was just being complete in my answer to GC.
