I never implied he was head of the Democratic National Committee. He has been referred to in the press as the leader of the party though, which happened when the primaries ended and he was called the presumptive Democratic nominee for President of the United States. That is why the word leader was in quotes. Would figurehead have been a more suitable word to use?
This makes you look as if you're trolling. Just in case you aren't.
I suppose if Obama wanted to really stress his principle of not accepting corporate money then he could boycott the convention due to corporate sponsorship. I don't see why he has to be there to get the nomination since he does have the delegates. He could give his acceptance speech via satellite feed. He is all for doing things differently, or so he says repeatedly. What could be more different than that.
I know better than that, and I don't even get to vote. He is not the nominee yet. Nor will he be until he is appointed, at the convention.
Now, what would happen if he didn't show up? He'd be accused of arrogance, and delegates would go elsewhere. Yeah, that would be different.
oh, and don't come to colorado and order a damn coors, that's so touristy. ask your bartender for a good local beer; there are dozens, maybe hundreds of breweries in the denver metro area alone.
