For months back during the 2004 campaign, we heard from media elites about how “BushCo” were using so-called “wedge issues” like gay marriage and illegal immigration in an effort to deliberately divide the American electorate for purposes of winning the election in the fall. The ‘slimy’ GOP would stop at nothing, they insinuated, to keep their power both in Congress and the WH.
It’s day three of the DNC in Denver, and there is lots to report, but first, the usual obligatory first links. Here’s a link to tonight’s schedule. The biggies, of course, will be Bubba making his big speech at 9. Obama’s VP pick Joe Biden will make his speech at 10:30 (Eastern time for both). As always, you can watch everything as it happens on C-SPAN if you can’t watch it on TV.
