Mark S. Weiner died while following his heart, heading to see his lifelong friends, the Clintons.
On Tuesday morning, the longtime Democratic Party activist and major fundraiser rose, eager to travel to the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia to hear a speech by his longtime friend, former President Bill Clinton, and to see Hillary Clinton become the first female nominee for president from a major party.
During his speech at the convention Tuesday night, Bill Clinton said he and Hillary cried when they heard of Weiner's death.
“He was getting dressed to come to the convention,” former Providence Mayor Joseph R. Paolino Jr. said, speaking by phone from Philadelphia. “He got up early and went back to bed and passed away." He said Weiner had leukemia, but he was unsure what caused his death.
...
Weiner, 62, of East Greenwich, is a former state Democratic Party chairman who was president of Financial Innovations, a Cranston firm that has served as the official merchant and supplier of banners, pens, hats and virtually anything else at every Democratic National Convention since 1980. He’s also served as a Rhode Island delegate to the convention and raised millions of dollars for Bill and Hillary Clinton and other candidates. He leaves his wife, Susan, and four children.

Add one more to the Clinton Body Count. I suspect this is connected to the pay-to-play part of the DNC email leak.

Just Wow! At some point it will be impossible for the Clinton's to put the genie back in the bottle. There will be too many to eliminate at the same time. Too many coincidences....
To: Red Badger
Because it really is Deja Vu all over again.

Ah, I can sense a Wellstone funeral coming. There’ll be pompom girls dancing on his casket and the crowd chanting, “We will win! We will win! We will win!”

Bill Clinton said he and Hillary cried .................that is impossible for them to cry. They would have to have souls to be able to do that.
