This honorary role.
This keynote address.
She will do it, and we will watch. We will understand that as she speaks, she brings honor to herself, and she will attempt to heal the schism, because she must. To task her with this epic struggle can only be because, Obama and the DNC cannot touch this mess.
News often is by timing and degree. Only a bit ago, a wave rose up, they will see it directed. They want her now to corral her own delegates and those others who agreed. How many now have signed their name? Only three hundred are needed. Pen in hand and honorary swirl will place her in nomination.
They want to shame her yet again, as though it is her mess. The DNC knows it’s not. The mess must be scrubbed, and the schism healed, or the party completely broken. Closing off each avenue will only increase wave pressure.
Clinton for vice president boosters–“Vote Both”–fold shop, realizing Obama tapping Clinton.

The “Vote Both” drive–staffed by loyal former Clinton staffers–folds, realizing that booking Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.) to be a keynote speaker at the Democratic convention means she is not on the list to be Obama’s running mate.

The latest counter offer from Denver, relative to the placement of anticipated protesters at(?) the DNC Convention, is presented. The ACLU says they don’t have enough information to comment.
I’m telling you, 200 feet away from the delegates, or is it to be 400 feet away?
Protesters, with bullhorns.
Caged behind cyclone fencing.
This is bound to be a heck of a scary sight for those poor nervous delegates- better push it back another 100 feet just to be sure we don’t stampede them!
I wonder what the occupancy limit, for 53,000 square feet of “protest” set aside area, is? Can we equal Invesco?

Update
I guess I’m popular, since I just got notice of a scrambled spam, generated by using this text, off my site. Thus the change in title. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Denver
O.K.- So city employees, have their own gas pumps. I get that, Chicago has a similar set up and when I was there, around 2000, let cabbies use it tax free. Course, that was about time the city raised the prices, so the cabbies got stuck. Hmmm… wasn’t that about the time Obama was involved in his great learning experience about “Gas Tax Holidays”?
But wait, these aren’t City employees per see, they are the DNCC! Well, I guess the Mile High City had to have some enticements to the get the Convention there.
But wait, isn’t this the candidate who said gas tax holidays don’t work? Way to match the message to the action people!! I know! This must be Hillary’s fault!! Check this out!
[DNCC vehicles have gotten to pull up to city pumps for the past few months, with a price as low as $2.62 per gallon, while a contract for the gasoline usage seems to have been an afterthought. Records reviewed by Rocky reporters show 61 DNCC vehicles (out of a fleet of 450, stressed the party) gassing up at city facilities, racking up a bill of $11,141.53 as of a week ago.]

PUMA, and Our Failure to Communicate. Continued…
As I spent the requisite time in the woodshed pondering my plight, it struck me that my ineptitude at PUMA swarming is a metaphor for a personal concern I’ve had since the beginning of February in this election season.
There is a disconnect in sending and receiving of political information. (more…)
