What's in store for us at the Democrat convention

Four Years - Three Rings
"Reviewing the long list of speakers, Sandra "Your ceiling needs painting" Fluke will lecture us on taking responsibility and Nancy "Pass it to see what's in it" Pelosi will wax poetic on transparency. Elizabeth "Chief Running Gag" Warren will describe the challenges facing people who lie about being Native Americans in order to get affirmative action jobs.

"Speakers from Planned Parenthood will advocate for poorly planned (and taxpayer funded)unparenthood, Harry Reid will dab a tear from his eye as he calls for an end to partisanship in politics, and John Kerry will scold the Republicans for nominating an evil rich man as Presidential candidate."


Forbes; A Citizen's Guide to Conversation at the Democratic Convention "As the first Hispanic ever to keynote the Democratic convention, Castro will generate most of the buzz. But with 759 Hispanics participating in this year’s convention, the highest ever (cf.  to 658 in 2008), you can also expect a broader range of personalities and issues central to Hispanic voters to get some attention."  Partial list of Democratic convention speakers released
Suppose we'll get to see that long, tracking walk again of Bill Clinton as he heads out from backstage?

Weekly Standard; What to Watch for in Charlotte  "On this crucial matter, and across the board, every effort will be made to divert Americans' attention from present-day realities and choices.  In the spirit of an aging movement longing for the past, the question Obama and the Democrats will ask is not, "Are you better off than you were four years ago?" but rather, "Can you still recall how much better off you imagined you'd be four years ago?" "


Fred Barnes; Why they can’t stop talking about abortion.  "Since the early 1990s, the trend has been against an unrestricted right to abortion—better known as abortion on demand—which is the goal of leading Democrats, including President Obama, and pro-abortion organizations like Planned Parenthood and NARAL Pro-Choice America that have become pampered interest groups of the Democratic party."

Specious Democratic Talking Points  Axelrod, who else?

What to Expect at the Democratic Convention  
"But the biggest, most rotten zombie we will see in Charlotte is the class-warfare rhetoric that has already dominated Obama’s campaign."
