The dream will never die...

Cancer-stricken Senator Ted Kennedy may make an electrifying surprise appearance at the first night of the Democratic Convention tomorrow.

Meanwhile, in "unity" news, Hillary will "release" her delegates -- never mind that no delegate is required to vote in any particular way, so a "release" is technically unnecessary and redundant -- and the DNC has restored full voting rights to Florida and Michigan.

The latter development was totally predictable, under the circumstances -- but tell me why, exactly, anyone should take seriously the updated primary calendar "rules" that will be adopted by the new "commission" that Obama has called for? The Democrats have just made clear that they will not enforce their own rules, so there's really no reason for states to listen to their demands the next time around.

UPDATE: V sends along some photos from Denver.

There are various shots of protesters and police, but personally, I'm just glad to know that MSNBC's mascots are fair and balanced:



Heh.

P.S. Meanwhile, Flickr user Dan Patterson posts this photo:



Heh. Do they have a Tennessee chapter? :)
