Bill Clinton to Speak at Democratic National Convention

2008_08_clintonbill.jpgFormer president Bill Clinton will speak on the third night of the Democratic National Convention later this month. The AP reports his address will precede one by Barack Obama's TBD running mate. Obama is confident that his constituents and those of Hillary Clinton will get along, and the Senator from NY herself told supporters she and her former rival were "working together to make sure it's a big success." However, there's the possibility she make seek a roll-call vote, prompting Newsday to report, "at best would be a distraction and at worst a disaster." Obama referred to that possibility, saying only, "We're still working out the mechanics, the coordination."

    Good, the convention needs some angry and defensive finger wagging.

    If Barack doesn't have a 5 to 7-point lead over McCain going into the convention, expect the Clintonistas to mount a coup of sorts.
