    Source: Bill Clinton will not attend Obama's Invesco speech

    Posted: 09:49 PM ET
    From CNN Senior Political Correspondent Candy Crowley

    Bill Clinton will reportedly not attend the convention Thursday night.

    DENVER (CNN) – Hillary Clinton will be on hand for Barack Obama's acceptance speech, but according to a source close to former President Bill Clinton, he will not: the source tells CNN that Clinton will not join his wife at Invesco Field Thursday night.

    I thought Americans bragged about their freedom. Why can't Mr. Clinton decide not to attend any meeting without prejudice?

    Cheers,

    Because, as a party, the Democrats are supposed to show full support for their selected candidate.

    As one of the "premiere" Democrats, a previous Democratic president who does not attend can be construed as a rift in the ranks.

    Either the Democratic party is fully behind their nomination for the position of president, or they're setting themselves up for a potential loss.

    Same goes for Republicans.

    CNN has certainly been wrong before.
