#1 Ironically, I think Boston will be far more chaotic than NYC, for LOTS of reasons.
If you were around back then, in 1968, there was little protest around the RNC; yet the DNC in Chicago is still remembered. And yet, the hatred of Richard Nixon by the left was palpable.

I have heard one old leftist say that "John Kerry is just like Hubert Humphrey, except without all that charisma." The extremists were able to force the convention to put up their boy, McGovern, instead of the pre-chosen one, Humphrey. The DNC just folded, and let the fruitcakes and screamers take over.

And they think they can do it again. Attacking the RNC is just an exercise in hate, attacking the DNC has a purpose.

#2 McGovern was nominated in '72, Humphrey in '68.
