I think he's afraid being seen in association with The Holy Won of Chicago will cost him 10 percentage points in the polls. Probably wise counsel on his part. :popcorn:

It would be a slap in Obama's face if other delegations did not attend. I don't look for it cause it is really about boozing and partying for a week. The DNC and the legislature is concerned that the bars may run out of booze if the law is not changed to allow deliveries on a holiday.
