I do hope Howie Dean does not stop the uncivil war within the Dem party. It is great to see Dems rip each other apart

I have all the confidence in the world the Clintons will not stop until they have their night in Denver


Democrats: The fix is on
By Donald Lambro
April 3, 2008

Democratic National Chairman Howard Dean has a plan that will produce a nominee before his party's convention in August, avoiding what he fears could be a "really ugly and nasty" fiasco.

Democratic leaders have begun complaining he has bungled the party's nominating process and alienated voters because of his failure to engineer a political compromise in the DNC's ill-advised decision to strip Florida and Michigan of all its delegates. But Mr. Dean, whose polls show the party's internecine warfare is hurting its chances in November, has been talking to party bigwigs about a deal and now says the delegations will be seated before the nominating roll of the states is called.

The conventional wisdom says the battle between Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton will go all the way to the convention. But Mr. Dean wants it over well before that, and possibly before the last of the 10 remaining primaries are completed in June. And it is likely that will happen.

The scenario Mr. Dean and party leaders fear most is a bitter political floor fight in Denver that will deeply divide the party and send a message to the country that if the Democrats can't govern themselves, how can they govern the country?

Sorry bout that,


1. Yeah, and Denver better make sure an outside agency is insuring them.
2. And not *Self Insured*.
3. Could be they will be okay in Denver, but L.A., Chicago, N.O., might be a problem.

Denver will be the place to be in Aug

It may look like Chicago in 1968

reminds me of the bob sieger song:


GET OUT OF DENVER Version 2]

I still remember it was autumn and the moon was shining
Our 60 Cadillac was roaring through Nebraska whining
Doing 120 man the fields was bending over
Heading up for the mountains knowing we was traveling further
All the fires were blazing and the spinning wheels were turning turning
Had my girlfriend beside me, brother, she was burning burning

I walked up back to speak to this southern funky school teacher
She had a lot of something heavy but we couldn't reach her
We told her that we needed something that would get us going
She pulled out all she had and laid it on the table showing
All I had to do was lay my money down and pick it up
The cops came busting in and then we lit out in a pickup truck

Go! Get out of Denver, baby, go, go
Get out of Denver, baby, go
Get out of Denver, baby, go, go
Get out of Denver cause you look just like a commie
And you might just be a member
Better get out of Denver
Better get out of Denver

Well, all red lights were flashing and the sirens were screaming screaming
We had to pinch each other just to see if we were dreaming
Made it to lovely Pass in under less than half an hour
Lord, it started drizzling and it turned into a thundershower, oh!

The rain was driving but the Caddy kept on burning rubber
We kept on driving till we ran into some fog cover
We couldn't see a thing but somehow we just kept on going
We kept on driving all night long and then into the morning
Fog had finally lifted when we looked to see where we was at
We're staring at Colorado state policeman trooper cat

Go! Get out of Denver, baby, go, go
Get out of Denver, baby, go
Get out of Denver, baby, go, go
Get out of Denver cause you look just like a commie
And you might just be a member
Better get out of Denver
Better get out of Denver

Go! Get out of Denver, baby, go, go
Get out of Denver, baby, go
Get out of Denver, baby, go, go
Get out of Denver cause you look just like a commie
And you might just be a member
Better get out of Denver
Better get out of Denver

Good morning JD

I am looking forward to Denver. I think this song is just as good

Baby cried the day the circus came to town
'cause she didn't want parades just passin' by her
So she painted on a smile and took up with some clown
While she danced without a net upon the wire
I know a lot about 'er 'cause, you see
Baby is an awful lot like me

Don't cry out loud
Just keep it inside, learn how to hide your feelings
Fly high and proud
And if you should fall, remember you almost had it all

Baby saw that when they pulled that big top down
They left behind her dreams among the litter
The different kind of love she thought she'd found
There was nothin' left but sawdust and some glitter
But baby can't be broken 'cause you see
She had the finest teacher-that was me-I told 'er

Don't cry out loud
Just keep it inside and learn how to hide your feelings
Fly high and proud
And if you should fall, remember you almost had it all

Don't cry out loud
Just keep it inside and learn how to hide your feelings
Fly high and proud
And if you should fall, remember you almost made it

Don't cry out loud
Just keep it inside and learn how to hide your feelings
Fly high and proud
And if you should fall, remember you almost had it all

Howard Dean couldn't even unite Iowa Democrats. Does he honestly think he can unite the entire nations party?

Interesting thought though. What if Howard Dean is really trying to pretend to do all this so that when the convention is brokered He is considered for the nomination.

Pop some popcorn, get the drinks, and sit back and enjoy the show

Don't forget about the Al Gore theory out there

DENVER???

I was at Chicago in 1968, and Denver couldn't look like that on its worst (or best) day. Doesn't have the (leftist) population. Too far to get to. Too high up to have that much energy if you're not from there.

My guess is the Dems chose Denver exactly so there couldn't be problems.


Outside, nothing, IMO. Inside? Could be quite a show. http://macg.net/emoticons/grin10.gif

Anyway, we can hope. They'll probably settle it by July, though, is my guess.

If Hilary takes the nomination from Obama, the Obamamanics will flip out.

I do hope it happens. it will spit the Dem party, and the wounds will last for years
