Political Conventions
The modern day political convention is just a show. All decisions are made ahead of time and the delegates are only there to rubber stamp whatever the front runner wants.
That said, if Romney moves his nomination to Monday night, doesn't the rest of the convention just become an unwatchable footnote?
Will Romney truly move the nomination or is this just a ploy to get network coverage on a night when they wouldn't pay much attention to republican shenanigans?
Romney's Nomination will come really quick and not at the end of the convention
What scares Romney the most?
Major Bemoaning

Highly questionable sources treated as fact by people who want to treat it as fact and use it to whine about America's death.
IMO, Stuff like this is posted here with sole intent to suppress the liberal vote.
wsws.org? Crap like this is an embarrassment to a Democratic website.
Dear Tampa, Doesn't having that many Republicans in your town already count as a disaster?
Just saying.
And Gawd help you.
Anyone good at deciphering freeper?
On my morning commute, there is a big house with a yard full of Romney signs. The owner has also added some homemade (sharpee on poster board) signs in the old Burma Shave style. It took me 2 days of driving by to get his whole message. It reads:
What has Obama
Done for Us?
Get on a better Bus
Vote Mitt
Can anyone translate better bus? Was it just used to rhyme with us? Anyone have a better explanation?
Lead story @ Google News? "Fact Check: Ryan budget plan doesn't actually slash the budget" from Fox

Frank Conniff on Paul Ryan and "Atlas Shrugged"
I believe that a book can change your life, and apparently "Atlas Shrugged" has changed a lot of people into assholes.
Paul Ryan's not a bad guy. He just wants poor and sick people to pay for the huge debt he voted for during the Bush years.
If Paul Ryan gets elected Vice President, he'll only be a heartbeat away from being the Koch Brothers' top employee.
The Romney/Ryan campaign will kick off in front of a backdrop of sick old people being denied medicare and social security.
