How About a Mid-Term Convention?
Walter Cronkite suggests an interesting idea "by which the Democratic Party could command the greatest public attention for its positive agenda: It could within weeks call an extraordinary midterm convention to draw up its platform."
"The convention would not need to be expensive. The delegates could be those who attended the 2004 convention. Their meeting would be open to the public and of course the press."
"In sharp contrast to the secrecy of the Bush administration, it would let the public, if only remotely, share in the construction of the Democratic platform."
Update: Robert Reich made a similar suggestion four years ago.
