Democrat Convention Prediction Thread - Multiple Vanities
Freerepublic Contributors ^ | 08/20/2008 | Hopeful Freepers

A couple of conservative union electricians cause the teleprompter to short-out at Invesco field, requiring that Obama read from notes. His acceptance speech takes four hours and the coffee vendors make millions.

Hillary travels to Fort Collins with Patricia Schroeder to have a bake sale to feed the homeless.

I wouldn't have said this before Saddle-back but...

I predict stock in popcorn producers will be up on increased demand in the Central and Southern US during the months of August, September and October.

Champaign and Cigar producers to experience a run during first week of November.

There will also be a sharp increase in global warming caused by the entire city of Denver going up in flames when Hillary tries to grab the nomination.

After listening to hours and hours of “change” without specifics, I predict the delegates will nominate...

GEORGE BUSH!!! to a 3rd term.

To everyone’s surprise, there is a floor fight over Michigan and Florida. Clinton supporters push for full seating and a different distribution of delegates. A face-saving compromise is found, and there is a temporary peace.

Disquiet over Obama’s poll numbers causes grumbling among the superdelegates, and a whispering campaign begins to have the superdelegates abstain on the first ballot.

Hillary is questioned whether she is planning to go for the nomination on the floor, but she responds by reiterating her support for Obama. “But,” she says, “if my party calls, I would have to take a draft seriously.” It’s the signal.

The first ballot is inconclusive due to the abstention of most of the superdelegates. The second ballot is chaotic because most delegates have been pledged to a vote on one ballot only.

On the eve of the third ballot, superdelegates who stroll to the wrong part of the convention floor are beaten, either by black supporters of Obama or union supporters of Hillary. There is another floor fight over the expulsion of the assailants, their replacement by alternates, and to whom the alternates should be pledged.

Delegates are arrested at the metal detectors attempting to smuggle knives and guns into the hall. There is another floor fight over the replacement of the offenders.

Hillary Clinton is drafted on the third ballot. She picks Evan Bayh of Indiana as her running mate.

In the aftermath of the nomination, delegates fight battles with mace, blackjacks, brass knuckles, knives and guns on the streets of Denver. The Denver PD is overwhelmed, the Colorado National Guard is brought in, and parts of Denver are placed under martial law. The speech at the stadium is cancelled. The convention breaks up in violence.

Barrack Obama makes a highly publicized visit to the offices of the Green Party and gets the party to remove its current nominees and replace them with an Obama-Kucinich ticket. George Soros agrees to underwrite the entire campaign.

The Democratic Party splinters as I predicted here.

While I see a real possibility of the Dem’s splitting I don’t see a three or four way split like you envisioned. The split won’t happen until after the election and then it will be a three way split. The party in control McLeibercrats will be McCain’s RINOs, Lieberman’s New York/New England money crowd, the Unions, the Open Borders crew and the Clinton/K-street thieves. For a while they will stay in power by forming alliances of convenience with whichever of the other two parties makes them the best deal at the moment. The main platform will be open borders, strong defense, slow growth of government. They will make stands on social issues only when necessary to gain favor with one of the other parties, and then only to the extent of lip service.

A conservative party will break off (they may even call themselves the Republicans) but who knows. They will stand for, well most of what gets discussed on Free Republic. The platform will be based on low taxes, reduced government, strict limits on judicial power, American nationalism and Security over International Cooperation. This group will be the largest of the three in terms of absolute numbers, but won’t have sufficient manpower to run the show on their own. While having a good argument the inability to pay bribes in the form of entitlements to the masses will prevent us (I included myself in this group) from taking an absolute majority.

The third group will be traffic light party. The Reds (euro-socialists, feminists), Yellows (pacifists/UN worshipers) and Greens (environmentalists/gay rights) . These are Obama’s people and will be the smallest in terms of absolute numbers. They have no set agenda other than taking other than growing the government and taking other peoples money. They have four massive advantages. First there is the absolute control of the MSM and education. They will receive aid for foreign governments bent on the destruction of the US. They will have access to virtually unlimited cash, from Soros and Hollywood. Finally and most importantly they can have a mob show up on a moments notice anyplace they need one. This will allow them to bully the McLeibercrats to giving them most of what they want in much the same way a spoiled child makes their parents buy them toys by threatening to throw a tantrum.

If your posting is on-target, or even 50% so, there will be loads of popcorn sales.
