While it won't happen, a democratic convention the size and scope of what they will have is of little use to democrats. The same could be said of any time a sitting potus is running for re-election. However, through it all there is an official nominating process, but that could still be done without all of the hoopla. I wonder if the sitting potus convention is just a way of equalizing the convention of the challenging party? In a certain way she is correct, as it does not establish much. It would be an odd gamble to tone it way down and do more local campaigning rather than a national snore fest.
What really strikes me is, Pelosi telling all her constituents to go campaign rather than go to the convention. Now you would think that she would want them there to cheer all of Obama's two accomplishments and him being the first black president, this is a time of celebration. But here you have Perlosi saying stay away, translated; go campaign and don't be seen with the president and go save your own job, we need to keep the seats we have.
