And so the narrative of the Democratic National Convention begins to take shape:

Still sore from an epic primary battle, some of Hillary Rodham Clinton's supporters aren't buying the unity theme planned for the Democratic National Convention.

They weren't mollified when nominee-in-waiting Barack Obama gave prime-time speaking slots to Clinton and her husband, the former president. Instead, they're itching for a fight and plan to wage one in Denver.

One group intends to paper the city with fliers, promote a video detailing what they contend were irregularities in the nominating process and unleash bloggers to give their take on the proceedings. Another group has purchased newspaper advertisements demanding that Clinton be included in a roll-call vote for the nomination.

"I am a very realistic woman," said Diane Mantouvalos, co-founder of the Just Say No Deal Coalition. "I don't think that anything is going to change, but I do think it is important to be heard, and this is our way of doing it."

Some of the disaffected Clinton supporters are open to supporting Obama; many are not.

Obama needs Clinton's supporters to beat Republican John McCain. Polls show that he has won over most of them. But some simply don't like Obama or still feel Clinton was treated unfairly during the primaries.

Understand that the Village needs this narrative to survive. If the narrative goes off message to say, the country being disaffected and disgusted with the GOP to the point where a Black Democrat freshman Senator from Illinois will most likely be our next President then the Village would have to admit the whole change thing, and the whole change thing means getting rid of the Village.

So, the most unprecedented party convention in the long history of the United States gets reduced to "Women hate Obama LOL HILLARY'S REVENGE!" because catty sniping and backbiting and bitchiness is much better for the American political process than that stupid hope change and new idea garbage. You should think what the Village tells you. It's just easier this way. Hillary's a bitch (but you can't call her that), Obama's uppity for a black man (but you can't say that about him), and John McSame my friends is a maverick hero for all time (which must be said at every given opportunity.)

UPDATE: Another piece of that Village narrative is that the troops hate Obama and love McSame the War Hero. They hate Obama enough to donate six bucks to Barry for every one to McSame because of course Johnny Mac will get so many votes from the troops, that they feel the need to make it a fair fight among the civilian voting populace.
