Just received a nice surprise from the Hillary Campaign

It's a pamphlet named "Making History: Democratic Party Conventions from 1960 to 2012". It tells you who the Prez and Vep nominees were, the names of the cities and halls they were held in, the campaign logos and theme songs, and a bit about each convention's platform. Lots of photos too! the 1968 Humphrey/Muskie convention in Chicago was the most interesting, as you can imagine, but all of them had their moments. I had to chuckle at the campaign song artists; Credence Clearwater Revival, Fleetwood Mac, Leonard Bernstein, Frank Sinatra, Carol Channing, Neil Diamond, Bruce Springsteen, Stevie Wonder, BTO, Simon and Garfunkel.....a plethora of riches. I wonder who allowed their songs to represent the Repubs? Tiny Tim?

I didn't see your post until just now. No, I googled and couldn't find it. I made a $30 donation, so that's why I got it, I think.
