Did Hillary Clinton Sucker Punch Barack Obama At The Democratic National Convention?

We are going from hyped event (Summer Olympics) to another: the Democratic National Convention kicked off in Denver on Monday. The biggest unknown part of the convention is if the Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama camps can come together.

Monday night will focus on the story of Barack Obama. In a relatively new tradition, the nominee’s wife, Michelle Obama will be the feature speaker. Tuesday night’s theme will be Renewing America’s Promise and Hillary Clinton will be the feature speaker.

Wednesday night is an attempt at trying to be non-partisan in terms of foreign policy, using the theme “Securing America’s Future”. The night will focus on Obama as commander in chief. The two main speakers on Wednesday are ex-President Bill Clinton and vice-presidential nominee Joe Biden. Though it seems President Clinton was upset about his speech subject for the evening - he would rather have been talking about the economy. Now it looks like the Obama campaign will let President Clinton talk about whatever he wants to talk about.

Joe Biden, Delaware, was named the Democratic vice-presidential candidate by Barack Obama on August 23rd. The original plan by the Obama campaign was to inform his supporters who the vice-presidential candidate would be by text message. That plan didn’t work out as planned. News of the vice-presidential candidate was first reported by the television reporters on the 22nd, though the Obama campaign sent their text message announcement out at 3:00 AM on the 23rd.

Obama and Biden made their initial appearance together in Springfield, Illinois at the Illinois State Capital. This is the same place Obama made the announcement he was running for president in 2006.

Thursday is the final night of the convention and the Democrats will be moving from the Pepsi Center to Invesco Field to allow a larger audience to participate in the final night. After the roll call vote, Obama will give his acceptance speech. Though there is contention between Hillary Clinton’s supporters and the Obama campaign about how long the roll call vote should continue until Obama is officially declared the candidate.
