DENVER (CNN) — The arena is filling, and there are some mega-watt pols roaming the floor as the suspense builds for Hillary Clinton's speech. Spotted standing quietly by himself listening to the myriad speakers: a big-time Hillary Clinton backer, Iowa Governor Tom Vilsack. Former John Edwards campaign manager David Bonior spent quite a bit of time chatting with folks from the Iowa delegation before taking his seat with the Michigan clan.

Has CNN covered the part where Obama and the democrat party leaders or trying to get votes from hotel rooms instead of letting there be a roll call on the floor to nominate Hillary Clinton and give her the dues she has earned with the voice and vote of her delegates They claim that it is Obama's call. If it does not happen I wonder if he is scared that she might be chosen. Kind of like keeping a revote from the people in Michigan and Florida , then the democrat leadership only giving them a half vote until he waqs nominated and then giving the delagtes a full vote now on the convention floor. What happen to Obama , Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid and Screaming Dean saying they had to be punished. Now that they are trying to kep a roll call for Hillary Clinton from happening on the floor and conducting a secret vote. All i got to say after this undemocratic bunch is thank God I am voting republican this year and for now own until the democrat party again becomes democratic.

Rudy is toug, but Mitt is my main man. Go Mitt and hope that John picks you as I do.

Nice job Candy. Ask your boss for a pay raise, you deserve one. So does Wolf.

Hillary was the best candidate. Obama stole the nomination with Harry and Howard's support. Hill won the west and east coasts and the Mid West and Florida and Michigan. Obama won Iowa and Idaho. Do the math.

Great Job Dennis, now go back to the nut house

We have two overripe bananas for the head job in the USA. That is a shame Please — [ Nobama and no joe.]

Obama is risky
Obama is inexperienced
Obama has a funny name
Obama will take our guns away
Joe cries, not becoming of a tough VP, Putin will eat him alive and Obama too for dessert.
Obama is a novice at Foreign Affairs.

So do you want to gamble with our country?

do you want to roll the dice?

I don't think you do, therefore a good alternative is JOHN MCCAIN.
