The Plot Thickens

The story that will not die continues as we finally round the final turn before the Democrat Convention in Denver.  Senator Obama, leaving town for a vacation in Hawaii at a very curious time, must be beginning to feel like Julius Caesar.  All I can tell you Senator is that the Ides of March have come – but they have not gone, to coin a phrase.

Hillary is still wanting a roll call vote during the convention.  Bill refuses to say Obama is qualified to be president and there is still time for some high drama at the convention.  If the pundits feel that the Dems are divided and that Obama has neglected the Hillary supporters – I can just imagine the impact on the party if there is an attempt to wrest the nomination away from the golden boy at the last minute.

Meanwhile, while Obama is taking applications for a food taster. the leadership in the House and Senate is maintaining the gridlock for which they are famous.

All in all, it may be the Democrat voters that are beginning to feel like (to quote the old Tom Leherer joke) a bunch of Christian Scientists with appendicitis. 

90 days to go to the November election – this one may be more fun than the Olympics to watch.  It is not over yet.
