Something went wrong at the Democratic National Convention yesterday.  Due to a change in the weather forecast, they will have to move the final day inside, and thousands of people will be unable to see Barack Obama and Joe Biden speak.  I understand their desire to win North Carolina, but I have to say that the Democrats really blew it, when they scheduled the convention in a right-to-work, aka right-to-screw-workers, state in an open air stadium, in the middle of thunderstorm season.  Isn\u2019t there a swing state with unions and a dome?  That said, that\u2019s the only bad thing I have to say about the convention.  On day two, the speakers performed infinitely better than their Republican counterparts.  Sandra Fluke, Elizabeth Warren and Bill Clinton combined for a triple play.  Here\u2019s complete coverage.<\/font><\/p>\n

\"6sandra-fluke\"Attorney and women’s rights activist Sandra Fluke is sounding dire warnings at the Democratic National Convention on a range of health issues if the GOP wins the White House. <\/p>\n

Fluke inadvertently gained notoriety when talk show host Rush Limbaugh spoke disparagingly of her testimony to congressional Democrats. He subsequently apologized. She had called for requiring her college health plan to cover her birth control.<\/p>\n

Fluke referred to Limbaugh’s comments about her during her Wednesday night address.<\/p>\n

She said the future could bring a president who won’t stand up to extreme voices in his own party, or it could bring one where women can’t be charged more than men for the same health coverage<\/strong>\u2026 [emphasis added<\/em>]<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Actually she went much further documenting the Republican war on woman and Democratic support for women’s rights.  Here\u2019s the complete video.<\/font><\/p>\n
