    Default Democrats: The fix is on

    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.

    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.
    If we were as industrious to become good as to make ourselves great, we should become really great by being good, and the number of valuable men would be much increased; but it is a grand mistake to think of being great without goodness; and i pronounce it as certain that there was never yet a truly great man that was not at the same time truly virtuous." - Ben Franklin

    Imagine what good we can do if we all joined together, united as followers of Christ - M. Russell Ballard

    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.

    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
