What will be the Democratic Party's platform on the war?
I was curious what sort of resolution/statement/platform the party will have during the convention. As we all know it's an AWFULLY big tent, with people like Lieberman that fully supported it, all the way to Kucinich who wants to withdraw immediately.

Also, who all will speak? Will Gore? His speech the other day was pretty fiery. I myself loved the few minutes of it I saw, but my guess is the DLC would love to go out of its way to stop such an "outburst" (I'm sure this is what they'd call it). Will Dean be our Pat Buchanan? BTW, this is meant as no real comparison to Buchanan who is lunatic, but several years ago he shoock up the GOP convention (I think it was in '96 actually).

So, will we have a messy convention where there are deep splits or will we come around Kerry (presuming he is the nominee) and show how horrible a job Bush has done?

1. With a IWR voter as the nominee it will be "what a great idea"
but we could have done it better.

2. we voted for it-- but we were against it
Now that it's safe to say what a fraud it all was, we're against it more than ever -- and we want to raise 2 more divisions in order to do it right.

Gotta be some crazy shit like that, if Weasel is our nominee.
