Not dissing any candidates, just this convention. All the build up in the news about angry Clinton Supporters, whether there will be a roll call or not and if Bill will go off the deep end. I was hoping for some overt tension and betrayel. I am not even going to bother watching the Republican one unless McCain picks Liebermann, that would make that convention very interesting.

After hundreds of years of Mormon doctrine espousing the denigrated nature of the African American [decended from the lineage of Ham, for Mormon scholars], and yes, changed by prophetic declaration in 1978 by Spencer W. Kimball, a white man is selected by a black man to be the subordinate. My, o my, how time have changed.

Hillary was magnificent. Bill was pretty darn good himself!

Hillary reminded us of the day 88 years ago when women won the right to vote.

Long live Hillary and Bill Clinton!!!

Looks like the Dems have done it again, and picked the guy with the least chance of beating the republicans.
Disenfranchised White Male Democrats: Obama, Obama, he's our man! At least that's what we'll tell reporters and the polls, but once we get inside that voting booth, where no one can see us, well then, it's going to be McCain all the way!
Sorry Obama, but America is just not ready for an African-American president.

I really wanted to see a full count vote, but all states after New York were left to feel that their votes didn't matter .... wow, what a slap in the face!

... come to think of it, at least it stopped the bantering of "... I'm a democrat & a farmer from the great state where the sky is blue & the river blah blah blah ..."
