One image that came to mind was the Democratic Party’s version of a Harvard admissions booklet: a perfect mix of men, women, young adults, whites, blacks, Latinos, and Asians, each from a different state in our beautiful Union, who would represent the Party this summer on stage at the convention. Alternatively, I pictured a contest hosted by Howard Dean to choose which delegates looked best in “Superman” costumes, the winner of which would escort the Democratic nominee around Denver...
