re: #123 albusteve

beats me…some nobody from nowhere…worked for the dems last time around…look for a guy with a wide smile and a shiny gold tooth

Except that Obama really wasn’t a random choice. The Dems tend to feature people they want to test the waters with at the DNC. Clinton was the keynote speaker in 1988, then the candidate in 1992. Obama was the keynote in 2004 and the candidate in 2008.
