  • Democratic Convention 2012

    Starts Tuesday in Charlotte

    right wing already in lather over two things:

    - photo ID required to get into convention, and even into the area (an obvious security need, but not surprised they're having a field day with this)

    "What if I live or work in a restricted area?
    The City is open for business and any person who works uptown will be able to get to their place of employment. The public and private sector are planning together for a safe and successful event and working to minimize the impact of convention activities on the daily routines of Charlotteans.

    Pedestrians walking to their home or business that falls into a restricted area will be required to provide identification when the road is closed. Passenger (as opposed to commercial) vehicles attempting to enter streets with restricted vehicle access must go through a vehicle checkpoint.

    What type of identification is required?
    A standard issued government ID is requested."

        but they also need to get into public areas, such as where they live.

        I think it's kind of funny, but I wouldn't expect anything less in security or in the uproar the Republicans are making.

        i have epiphanies like that all the time. for example i was watching a basketball game today and realized pom poms are like a pair of tits. there's 2 of them. they're round. they shake. women play with them. thus instead of having two, cheerleaders have four boobs.

          Chuck Todd strikes back, tweets:

          What part of me tweeting this photo with BofA in huge letters is me covering something up. Absurd pic.twitter.com/swMV90Br

          ......

          he also noted that he was using "shorthand," although 'BofA' is shorter than 'Panther.'

          all silliness. Todd is a straight shooter.

            It took a post about the Democratic Convention to lure you out of hiding?

            I hope all is well with you and yours.

              Going to predict a moderate 4-5 bounce for President Obama as I did for Romney. I think it's simply the election climate. There are a lot of disgruntled people out there. If my prediction is correct, that should result in a high single digit lead for President Obama. But I can see a lower bounce as well given the the mood of the country, decline in convention ratings, and that people are already familiar with the president.

              But as always, the president is the star and things will peak with his speech. His campaign has been one that has been run competently so I don't expect any Clint Eastwood appearances.

                That raises a question: who would be the nuttiest ancient actor/actress crackpot the Democrats could send out there? There are plenty of Hollywood candidates, that's for sure.

                Ed Asner?

                  Betty White?

                      Nah, Betty White would kill there.

                      I've heard Asner on some radio shows. He could make Eastwood sound like a milquetoast...

                          My prediction...this convention won't be near as goofy as the Republican Convention was.
                          Considering his only baseball post in the past year was bringing up a 3 year old thread to taunt Hornsby and he's never contributed a dime to our hatpass, perhaps?

                            good piece by Howard Kurtz on Obama 2012 having to compete with Obama 2008 as well as Romney 2012.
