Followers Converge In Denver Next Monday (John Kerry, Democrats, president, Clinton)

[Yooperkat]

"There are two overriding strategic imperatives for the convention: One is to make people comfortable with Barack Obama," said Mark Mellman, a Democratic pollster who served as a top strategist for Senator John Kerry's presidential race in 2004. "The other is to define the race clearly and define Barack Obama as change and McCain as a continuation of Bush’s policies at home and abroad."

Ms. Dunn, the strategist for Mr. Obama, said that would be accomplished by emphasizing the course of the country "over the last eight years, the gridlock, and what that has meant for American families," and the specifics of where Mr. Obama "wants to lead to the country."

But, aides say, another important task is uniting the party after a bruising primary between Mr. Obama, the potential first African-American nominee, and Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York, the potential first female nominee. Women speaking at the convention include Mrs. Clinton, Speaker Nancy Pelosi of California and Senator Claire McCaskill of Missouri.

Is a great religious leader arriving in Denver? I must have missed the announcement. Please tell me about this great one. Will I find mercy? Will I find hope, or will I find eternal life?

I must have been out of the loop for I had only heard that the Democrats were planning to convene in Denver, and I know there is not a Messiah in that group.

Did I ever mention a Messiah?

Follower -- one who follows; a person who supports a leader or a cause.

There are several other definitions. We are a bit sensitive. There is nothing unflattering in this article.

Part of the Democrat strategy is to criticize Bush for four days.

The Libs should be getting pretty excited by now.

Hmmm in the Christian context there is only one Messiah as you know so why would he think we who are Christians would consider him a Messiah? As a Christian you know there is only one so why would he conceptualize as he has done? You were very wise and obviously a person of faith to have not done so.

Will there be as many left wing protesters in the streets as there will be left wing supporters inside Invesco Field Stadium?
