"I’m 68 years old, and have followed politics for decades"

Look kid (I'm 73), I don't ever remember any party member being so negative and admiting it.

You would think the national media would pick up on that and blow it into a big story.

Just not news today when it comes to an A-Hole President. Everybody already knows it.

And if they’re not ceding the WH, it is because the new talking point (spin) is that Zero has the nomination so lock up that no embarrassment will befall the _resident should no one show up for the convention.

“What if they had a convention and nobody attended?”

MSM would add CGI conventioneers like the cast of Titanic, and fake much of the enthusiastic cheering from some studio in Burbank.

Like the firefighters booing Hillary, that wound up being wild cheers!

LOL Reminds me of reading about the filming of a movie about the Titanic in the 1940s. They glued little people cutouts on the backs of cockroaches and filmed them running around on a flaming deck.

Thursday could be key.

There are rumours of up to 30 Democrat defections on the Contempt vote in the House.

Couple this with a bad result for Obama on Healthcare, and we should start to see stories appear in the MSM about Obama’ support slipping away, about how he cannot control his own party.

Democrats are beginning to fear the voters more than they fear Obama.

Thursday could be the tipping point.

Let’s hope that Fox New isn’t forbidden to attend. They will pan their cameras around and can figure out if it’s a rent-a-mob!

Don’t be surprised if the hall is at least half full of blacks that were bused in from all over the country. And I wouldn’t doubt if people are paid to attend either.

I think this is code for ‘no one wants to come and we have to make it look like it was our idea’....

It only just the hit the Reuters wire two hours ago. If Rush doesn't lead with it tomorrow I'll be shocked...

As shocked as I am to hear Steve Israel tell Democrat Representatives to stay away from the Democrat Convention -- a huge chunk of these idiots are superdelegates! Who is gonna nominate Bobo then?

I’m just a baby compared to you two and I even find this shocking. I remember the days when the governor, senators, and congressmen would stand with their state’s delegates on nomination night while the vote counts were reported-—it was a big deal to be there and to be seen on tv.

This would be like Major League Baseball having the All-Star Game and then telling Albert Pujols or Derek Jeter to stay away and lay low for a couple days.

We have all these suspect polls out showing Obama supposedly starting to run away with the lead in swing states... when in reality it’s Democrats in tight races starting to run away from Obama.
