Ya think killing the coal industry might have something to do with the Gov. no show. With friends like Obama, who needs enemies.

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:

Well, to be fair, the article does say he's got a serious problem with Mitt Romney, too, so don't expect this guy to convert over to the Repubs.

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.

Just election year politics, Here in Texas most of the people dems and repubs are running on an anti-obama platform.
