Confirmed: Line-up of speakers at Democratic convention is simply terrible
Hot Air ^ | August 31, 2012 | ALLAHPUNDIT

Posted on 08/31/2012 12:45:11 PM PDT by RobinMasters

Ace wrote about this yesterday but I didn’t have time to look at the list until now. Go see for yourself. I went through it being as objective as I could about who might be interesting to watch as a young, impressive, highly touted leader of the future in the Rubio, Ryan, Christie, Jindal, Susana Martinez, Rand Paul, Brian Sandoval, Mia Love mold. Out of a list of 75 or so names, here’s what I’ve got — and I’m stretching even on some of these, just so that I’ve got something.

– Cory Booker, who hasn’t held statewide office; – Julian Castro, who also hasn’t held statewide office but apparently is the best Democrats can do by way of a Rubio-esque Latino political rising star; – Tammy Baldwin, who’s far left even by the standards of the House Democratic caucus and is highly likely to lose to Tommy Thompson in this year’s Wisconsin Senate race; – Kamala Harris, the AG of California and certified union stooge, who’ll likely follow Jerry Brown as Democratic administrator of the state’s Greece-like fiscal disintegration

I might tune in just to see the snooze fest.

Honestly, I don’t see what the DNC can do to top the RNC, and thats not saying much since the RNC as a whole has itself seen better years!

The RATS have to have terrible speakers to make Obama look better. Don’t forget, they’re pandering to the lowest common denominator. I don’t plan to watch a second of it.

Don’t forget Martin O’Malley, Maryland’s tax and spend governor and 2016 wannabe. By then, the state of Maryland will be fiscal train wreck. The situation is even called unsustainable by some within his own administration.

The Democrats have evolved into nothing more than the organization behind the Cult of Personality Obama. There is nothing behind him. One could argue Cuomo of NY, but other than him, they have no governors of any significance, lost most of there Senators and congress members who would have some presence (Feingold gone, Bayh gone, etc). Next week’s show is all about Bill Clinton and Obama.

Well, quite frankly, I hope the future of our country doesn’t depend on “young, impressive, highly touted leader(s) of the future in the Rubio, Ryan, Christie, Jindal, Susana Martinez, Rand Paul, Brian Sandoval, Mia Love mold.”

But I have to agree that, if the Republicans mentioned are not all that impressive, the Democrat speakers will be far, far worse. And I hate to think who they might drag out of Hollywood to match Clint Eastwood.

Joe Biden is looking better all the time!

The Republican convention set the ‘mold’.

Now, the Democrats are scrambling furiously to attempt to DUPLICATE it.

Because that’s all they’ve got. That’s all they ever had.

Newark, NJ Mayor Cory Booker seems as close to having his head screwed on straight as any RAT politician I’ve been exposed to lately. He’s the one who passed by a house fire while on his way to work one morning, before the FD arrived. He went in and rescued an occupant.

We might be able to turn him if we get the opportunity.

The GOP has the ‘enthusiasm’ this year that the D’s had in ‘08. Honestly, who’d have ever thought there could be enthusiasm for Romney? Respect and admiration, OK, so he is seriously accomplished, but enthusiasm?

GOOD. Allow him to bask in it.

I want a President who makes positive accomplishments, behind the scenes. From what I can tell, Romney would rather roll up his sleeves and get to work, than sitting around during this convention. The thought that he would have a VP who was good at dealing with the public just makes the combo seem something we really need.
