Nobody doubted that the Republicans would nominate Mitt Romney for president, and certainly the Democrats weren't going to dump Barack Obama as their standard-bearer. So why are national political conventions needed when states have expressed their preferences, and the numbers add up to one candidate or another? Are conventions anything more being massive promotional events where delegates listen to speeches that blast the other side?

Can't send messages to Dad because he's now deceased, but my dad was very wise...He'd say things…Read More like: "You can get arrested for what you say, but not what you think!" - or - "Take care of your feet, and they'll take care of you!" My dad wasn't much for words, but he was always a stable figure growing up and was loyal to mom throughout the years. Nowadays, that in and of itself is honorable! Thank you Dad! In Loving Memory...

" .he was the guy whose proudest possession was a coffee table he'd found in a dumpster, and whose only pair of decent shoes was half a size too small." http://www.npr.org/2012/09/04/160578836/transcript-michelle-obamas-convention-speech I would have to check with Da Moose, but I think Obama's decision-making had more to do with "Choom" than socioeconomic forces. http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/politics/2012/05/obama-and-his-pot-smoking-choom-gang/
He is much too smart to BUY the wrong size.
