Campaign Follies.

Barack Obama raised obscene amounts of cash during the primaries, but now the DNC faces a daunting task in trying to hold a convention.

It also faces holding itself up to ridicule by trying to promote a "green" agenda and a "green" menu:

Overly ambitious environmental goals — to turn the event into a “green” convention — have backfired as only three states’ full delegations have so far agreed to participate in the program. Negotiations over where to locate demonstrators remain unsettled with members of the national news media concerned over proposals to locate the demonstrators — with their loud gatherings — next to the media tent.

And then there is the food: A 28-page contract requested by Denver organizers that caterers provide food in “at least three of the following five colors: red, green, yellow, blue/purple and white.” Garnishes could not be counted toward the colors. No fried foods would be allowed. Organic and locally grown foods were mandated, and each plate had to be 50 percent fruits and vegetables. As a result, caterers are shying away.

This crap holds the party up to widespread ridicule and reinforces the notion Democrats are a bunch of well-to-do latte drinkers pitifully out of touch with the rest of the country. Not to mention food fascists.

Who the HELL would eat that shit that's nothing but a ripoff to begin with?

No wonder caterers are staying the hell away.

How much do you want to bet the director of "greening" or whatever it is is a vegan nutjob?
