do you understand television?
Edited on Thu Aug-14-08 10:20 PM by swampg8r
the convention will be on TV
tv events are usually well planned
if obama and clinton have worked out the details why are we worried about it?
i hope to see a strong show of support for mrs clinton
and i hope to see her turn that support to obama
i expect cheering crowds for her at the roll call
and i expect her to speak and to turn her supporters over to obama
and i expect everyone in the hall to chant together

"YES WE CAN" "YES WE CAN" "YES WE CAN" "YES WE CAN" "YES WE CAN" "YES WE CAN" "YES WE CAN" "YES WE CAN" "YES WE CAN" "YES WE CAN" "YES WE CAN" "YES WE CAN"
until there isnt any voice left to lift


thats what i expect
if you expect less well....god bless your heart
(thats a southern expression)

2. Exactly, Sir
Even the tension building up to it has an orchestrated feel to it, to produce real emotions of relief at the final consumation of the spectacle....

3. I hope to see it
I'm just afraid it will become ugly and partisan and give the rethugs more ammo.

5. I honestly don't thik it will get ugly. There is a small fringe group,
2 of them were on Hardball tonight, who are just plain obstinate. Even David Schuster pointed out how insane their arguments were. But it's apparently a very small group. They both admitted tonight that they've managed to raise a WHOLE $50,000 so far to fight their battle. That's really not a very big number! If I'm right, they will be drowned out at the convention, IF they all even attend!

I'm really not worried at all.

4. Yep. Even I have enough faith in the people on both sides that we will have a nice
Convention...Strange, but true.


I do, however think that there will be trouble outside the hall with the extremists and the RW operatives.
