tommytomlin 0 Report post Posted July 26, 2004 The delegates from the primaries do their nomination dance and officially nominate Kerry as the Democratic Candidate. In the distant past, the candidate wasn't known before the convention, so they actually meant something more than 'WHOO WE ROCK!' Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Highland 0 Report post Posted July 26, 2004 He kissed his wife, but Al Gore isn't supposed to show any vestige of human emotion, much less kiss his wife or wear something different because it might show that he's desperately trying to be an "alpha male" so it got media and political attention.

Forgive my ignorance, but what happens at a convention, is it just a load of rah-rah speeches, or does anything meaningful happen Everyone in the party gets up and give verbal blowjobs to "there guy" in hopes to get a job workin for him, in the offshoot chance he wins.

Guest Smell the ratings!!! Report post Posted July 26, 2004 don't forget A-list celebrities! I have to laugh at all this security though. I think Al-Qaeda is probably insulted that we think they would bother to fuck with a convention. and the kiss got attention because it was a very, uh, manly kiss. Not only was it unexpected, it was also very unwelcome considering the parties involved. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kkktookmybabyaway 0 Report post Posted July 26, 2004 Back in the day, before television and other types of mass media that we all know and love today, Conventions were a big deal. Now it's just a big show -- the last time anything resembling conflict took place was, imo, Pat Buchanan in '92... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

From Reuters: http://www.reuters.com/newsArticle.jhtml?t...storyID=5763132 Prostitutes Join Police Converging on DNC Boston BOSTON (Reuters) - Security officers won't be the only professionals coming to Boston in unprecedented numbers for the Democratic National Convention. Practitioners of the world's oldest profession are seeking reinforcements to help service some of the 35,000 visitors -- plus untold numbers of police reinforcements -- expected in the coming week when Democrats name Sen. John Kerry their presidential candidate. "Every convention brings in more people, and women fly in from all over the country to work it," said Robyn Few, a prostitute on probation who runs the Sex Workers Outreach Project, an advocacy group. "There will be girls from California and from the South in Boston this week," she said. "I hope a lot of women make a lot of money and make a lot of men really happy." While Boston has played host to a number of conventions, a national political convention draws larger crowds than the city is accustomed to and security for the event is said to be unprecedented amid terrorism concerns. For weeks, escort services have plastered advertisements in magazines and on the Internet asking women to work the convention. Even local strip clubs are putting out the word that more women are needed. "We are looking for more girls right now," said Frank Caswell, who runs the Foxy Lady club outside Boston. "Obviously, hospitality and beauty are expected and the girls must bring something that is enticing to see." Local agencies said they charge anywhere from $200 an hour for a little company in a delegate's hotel room; rates at national agencies can be five times that much. Several sex workers said political conventions were often particularly lucrative. Democratic organizers wanted to point out that many delegates are bringing their families. "This really is a G-rated event," said DNC spokeswoman Mariellen Burns Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
