Democratic Patriotism can be Anti Maxim

Democrats in Seattle were meeting. During the meeting one of the delegates suggested that in the spirit of being patriotic that the convention should pledge allegiance to the flag:

At the mere mention of doing the pledge there were groans and boos. Then, when the district chair put the idea of doing the Pledge of Allegiance up to a vote, it was overwhelmingly voted down. One might more accurately say the idea of pledging allegiance to the flag (of which there was only one in the room, by the way, on some delegate’s hat) was shouted down.

Obama feeling the heat tried hard to convince Americans that he is a patriot. I have a feeling if he goes down that path too far he might lose votes in Seattle.
