Left Hooks - Dem Party Week Edition

Update: Ben in comments searched AI Chris Daughtry and found that he is also at the Dem convention on 8/26. Sorry for the error.

So, who's got the better convention entertainers - the Democrats or Republicans?

Here's some of the entertainers in and around the conventions for both parties (I can learn to like country for a week, but the bad part of Van Halen? I dunno.):

Democratic Convention	Republican Convention
Kanye West	Chris Daughtry (American Idol)
Wyclef Jean	LeAnn Rimes
N.E.R.D	Sammy Hagar
James Taylor	Gretchen Wilson
Tony Bennett	Smash Mouth
John Legend	Beach Boys
Idina Menzel (Wicked)	John Rich (Big and Rich)
Black Eyed Peas	Cowboy Troy
Willie Nelson	Styx
Melissa Ethridge	The Charlie Daniels Band
Rage Against the Machine

This is a nice way to go into the convention. The McCain folks are raising expectations in saying that Obama/Biden will come out of the convention 15% up in the polls. From Sarah Simmons laptop to God's mobile, but this is the poll that counts.

The 50 or so PUMA bloggers that haven't shut their doors over failed conspiracy theories have their Denver schedule posted! Air fare, lodging, food and the RV paid for by unsuspecting donors who thought they were buying a documentary on the scandalous primary, help for themselves to get to Denver, or paying down Hillary's debt. The trip has most PUMA convinced that somehow this little band of bitters will somehow, by their overwhelming presence and shear will, convince all the delegates to turn tail and vote for Hillary on the first ballot thus ending Obama's chance at nomination. Good luck with that. Roar.
