Birth certificates and nationality aside, Barry can’t make a case why he should be President. As the election gets closer, he will have to start spelling out details of his plans. The MSM/DBM will do all they can to cover for him, but the truth will come out that he is the empty suit everyone knows he is. Besides, if Democrats had popular ideas, Obama would be ahead by 20 points.
Refreshing memory of 1988 Rat convention.. Jesse Jackson got quite a few votes!
Democratic Convention
The Democratic Party Convention was held in Atlanta, Georgia from July 18 - 21. In his first major national speech, Arkansas Governor Bill Clinton placed Dukakis’ name in nomination. The speech lasted for so long that some delegates began booing to get him to finish.[16]
The most memorable speech given at the Democratic Convention was by Texas State Treasurer Ann Richards, who two years later was elected the state governor. Richards uttered the famous line: “Poor George [Bush], he can’t help it, he was born with a silver foot in his mouth.” Six years later, Bush’s son and future President George W. Bush would defeat Richards in her re-election campaign for Texas Governor.
With only Jackson remaining as an active candidate to oppose Dukakis, the tally for president was:
* Michael Dukakis 2687
* Jesse Jackson 1218
* Joseph Biden 2
* Richard Gephardt 2
* Gary Hart 1
* Lloyd Bentsen 1
