Party Conventions in Full Swing

The Freedom, Democratic, and Republican parties are all having their conventions this weekend. The Democratic convention has been light, with a slight platform update and a speech from the chairman. True Democrat is expected to speak tomorrow. At the Freedom convention, a motion to endorse ColinW for Senate has gained support, and progressive taxation will take a more promiment role in the platform.

As always, the GOP convention, in Denver, is a source of excitement. In a push by ColinW, the party is close to endorsing Keystone Phil for another term as Vice-President. It would not be surprising, except for the fact that the party already endorsed Kemperor for President, and his running-mate is a Democrat, Alcon. Alcon currently leads 4-3, but it is still a tight race.
