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

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.
