Some Democrats See Big Trouble Coming at the Party's Convention This Summer
Family Feud
(Fox News) - Allies of Barack Obama are warning of chaos if unelected superdelegates give Hillary Clinton the Democratic presidential nomination.
Richmond, Virginia Mayor Douglas Wilder made a comparison to the 1968 Democratic Convention in Chicago that featured clashes between protesters and police outside — and fighting between anti-war delegates and party moderates inside — "If you think '68 was bad — look at 2008 and it will be worse."
Wisconsin Governor Jim Doyle says the party will tear itself apart if Obama wins the most delegates but loses the nomination. He told FOX News Sunday — "It would be a disaster for the Democratic party to thwart what has happened in the caucuses and primaries."
And New York Senator Chuck Schumer — who supports Clinton — says Democrats must avoid what he called an "internecine battle" that could jeopardize a win for the nominee in November.

I've been thinking for some time that the Democrat's convention is going to be like the one in 1968. I remember that convention very vividly. Every night on the news there were pictures of the cops hosing down demonstrators (rioters, actually). It's an interesting little illustration of the degenerate nature of democracy. In the end, when the people can't make up their minds, it's up to the oligarchy to do it for them.
One big difference between this convention and the one in 1968 is that there is no actual anti-war candidate, as was the case with George McGovern and Eugene McCarthy. Obama and Clinton have both said the occupation of Iraq will continue, and Obama has said he favors expanding our presence in the Middle East.
