NONE of those people can lead so why is it news that none of them bothered to show-up?

Why is this even a news item?
Actually found it a small bit interesting, that group is the "moderate" Democrats, the same type that Hilliary and the rest of coven keep trying to say they are. But instead they all will be attending the KOS liberal left wing-nut convention. Should be interesting to see whom ever comes up with the nomination will distance themselves after the fact from the far left and ask for the help of that convention they skip when they go to seek the independent and moderate republican voters.
Reply:they were too busy laughing at Fred Thompson trying to raise money
Reply:Gee, could it be they had prior speaking engagements elsewhere?





Why did you even bother to post your "question?"
Reply:Seriously. Who cares about Nashville. It is a gop hick state anyway. Why would the next President waste their time in Nashville when the states none worthwhile electoral votes will only go republican anyway?


exactly--why waste your time when california, new york, and other big states are more important. Texas might even vote dem this time around (probably not).
Reply:The DLC is dead, the party has shifted to the left.
Reply:Why is it necessary for presidential candidates to appear at EVERY event their party holds? Perhaps they had scheduled something else. Maybe the party controllers didn't want them there. Any number of reasons. Perhaps you could ask THEM and I'll just bet they'll be able to explain it to you.
