How should the Convention be organized?

[flaminbats]

In my ideal convention Carter would speak on the first day and Clinton on the second day. During the early days of the convention all Kerry's primary opponents should be allowed to speak and to settle any remaining differences with the nominee.

Max Cleland would be an ideal keynote speaker for John Kerry. Al Gore could give the perfect keynote address on why Kerry's running mate would make the best Vice President. Naturally the Congressional leaders, Daschle and Pelosi would have essential speaking roles in pushing the message for winning back Congress. It also wouldn't hurt to have a segment just for former Republicans who have switched parties since Bush became President. Another segment should exist for Greens and other independents who are now supporting Kerry for President. There should be a segment for the families of 9/11 victims to address their anger and rage at National Security failures of this Administration.

Most importantly Kerry's war record, his agenda, and his accomplishments in the Senate should be contrasted to the disasters under the GOP. There has never been a more important time than the Boston Convention. IMHO either our Party will come out of this sinking or surging!

Rules & Regulations, Boston 2004

Those who can still stand and have good singing voices should go to the front. No lampshades please, and lift up or hang on to the signs provided when the TV cameras pan your way. Wardrobe malfunctions will not be excused, though supermodels will not be decked by security guards. Well, those only in back rooms and in a rather more consentual form of it, but nevermind that, you're probably not going to be one of them.

If you can't stand but can clutch someone else well enough, the middle rows are for you. Please eat Jell-O or pudding for the 24 hours prior to your appearance and brown paper bags will be provided should you feel the necessity to upchuck. Do not do so coordinately, however hilarious it may seem to your buddies, though it's ok if Nature makes it necessary during applause calls. Do not clank or thow bottles at any point, especially not at images of persons of the Bush Administration on the big screen or at Howard Dean or Al Sharpton. For Nader, should he walk by inside the hall or outside it, remember that we aim to please- so please aim whatever you intend to.

If you tip over and cannot stand up again, you will be carried or rolled to the back and stacked up. Your funny hats will be taken away. No sexual intercourse of any kind is permitted during the nominee's speech, though we are not in any hurry to find out what you and people in your pile are up to. (We are planning to go to the hotel parties when the most boring speeches start and have a romp or two or three there, don't annoy us with the aesthetically unpleasant accidents of your unhappy sex life.) Additionally, please don't strike matches or use fire lighters while stacked up even if you have your bong on you and a bag you're glad to share- we'll take it all away and smoke it ourselves. You will be washed out of the building via fire hoses at midnight and glad for the bath. Boston cab drivers know this routine and you will not necessarily need to explain your condition, though if your wallet happens to have disappeared they may not ultimately display much sympathy.

Thank you- The Organizers
