Someone with a better memory than me will help out, but the dems refused to allow someone ( governor of PA?) to speak at their (2004?) convention. He is a right-to lifer, and was set top speak, but was removed from the program.
There is no diversity of substance inside the democrat party.

I wouldn't go so far as to say that there is no diversity inside the Democratic party, but the people who rise to the top in that type of organization are often the most zealous partisans. Diversity is not always at the top of their list of important values.
The exclusion of Governor Casey from speaking at the convention (I remember it as the 2000 convention, but I'm not sure about that) was foolish, IMHO. It made the Party look as if it is afraid of opposing views.
