The Manchurian Democratic Candidate

On January 11, 2007 the DNC announced that the Democratic Party National Convention would take place in Denver from Monday, August 25 to Thursday, August 28, 2008.

The 2004 Democratic National Convention took place from July 26 to July 29, 2004.

The 2000 Democratic National Convention took place from August 14 to August 17,

Why was August 28 chosen as the final day of the convention; the day on which the party's nominee formally accepts the nomination? Is it because August 28 happens to be the anniversary of Martin Luther King's "I Have a Dream" speech of 1963.

There would have been no historical significance to the date, August 28th, if the nominee had been Hillary Clinton or that Southern sissy boy, whose name I have forgotten.

Perhaps that date was chosen because the DNC already knew who the nominee would be way back in January 2007. Maybe they had Obama all lined up, ready and groomed to go years ago. We now know that the Democratic primaries are a sham; that their Super Delegates are the real king-makers.

How wonderfully significant it will be that Obama will be making this acceptance speech on the anniversary of Martin Luther King's "I Have a Dream" speech.
