In this Aug. 6, 2008 file photo, banners advertising the Democratic National Convention line Denver's 16th Street Mall. Modern political conventions are like a Super Bowl minus the game. They are the bling on the body politic: shiny, pretty and a touch goofy. They exist to be seen, more than to do. They are like a Miss America pageant where the fix is in. The Olympic opening and closing ceremonies without all that sweating in between. It's the party having a party. Politics is put to choreography, each song chosen for certain effect, each sign - even the crude, seemingly spontaneous ones - part of a script. What's the point? Is there a point somewhere in that sea of nutty hats? (AP Photo/Ed Andrieski, File)AP - Modern political conventions are like a Super Bowl minus the game.
