Got a tentative invite to the 2012 Democratic National Convention today...

Given the grumbling here, should I expect it to be brokered?

1. Will you be a delegate? n/t

2. It's going to be interesting, really interesting, to see how that first vote goes.

That will give me a damned good view into how the actual Party views President Obama's shenanigans.

If he grabs the renomination in a clean sweep the Party can hang it up- it'll show the Democratic Party has no immune system whatsoever.

3. Highly unlikely.

For all the complaining many of us do, there's no one out there actually challenging Obama for the nomination. And even if someone does, the DNC and every other group or individual politician at any level of leadership in the party would unite to shut out such a challenger.

Brokered conventions have been an on-going fantasy for over half a century, and it's not likely to ever happen again, not with the actual way the entire primary/caucus thing works out and delegates are selected.

But go just for the experience, I say.
