Democratic Convention II

We will see if the Clinton delegates will make any headway at all.

It seems to be a longshot.

While I was out on my bike ride today, Hillary Clinton released her delegates. If Obama hasn't won the nomination right now, he is close to it. They are doing the roll call now.

Edit: He was nominated by acclamation, just as previous media reports had it. Hillary Clinton moved to have him nominated when New York came up for the votes.

What a travesty this thing is. What you saw was not a vote, but a sham.

Campaign Concerns

Obama can pack in the crowds in giant stadiums spouting platitudes about "change" and "hope," but he is still short on specifics, and he needs to be specific about what he is going to do if he is going to have a snowball's chance in hell of winning in November.

He's got more than a few state governors worried. They should be.

Right now Obama is in a statistical dead heat against McCain, and the contest hasn't even formally kicked off. This is bad shit given the fact the GOP was on the ropes and it should have been a Democratic Party year.

Democrats have the uncanny talent of screwing up big time.
_____

Obama is going to be generous at the convention and "allow" to have Hillary Clinton's name put into nomination and "allow" a roll call vote at the upcoming convention.

It's too much to hope Clinton would get the nomination; Democrats are hellbent on having their asses handed to them.
