Small Businesses Don’t Support an Obama/Clinton ticket.

This year's race for the White House is historic. Never has this country seen such diversity in its choices for the highest office in the land. Senator Hillary Clinton is the first woman to have been a fierce competitor for her party's nomination. Even though she suspended her campaign last week . . .

THE ENTHUSIASM AND OPTIMISM OF THE ENTREPRENEUR
Besides the mentions of small business being few and far between, the primary thing missing for me was the enthusiasm and optimism of the entrepreneur. Speaker after speaker talked about our energy crisis and our poor economy. Citizen speeches were predominantly people who had lost their jobs.

Where Oh Where is Small Business?
The Pepsi Center was packed last night. I felt so lucky to have a credential to be there. And I felt lucky that I got there early enough to get a seat! Yes, you get a better view by watching on TV. I hear people say the same thing about going to sporting events. But to me, there’s nothing like experiencing it live.

From the Floor: Reports from The Presidential Conventions

I can’t help but feel a bit of déjà vu here in Denver at the Democratic National Convention. I was in Beijing for the first 10 days of the Olympics earlier this month. There are a lot of similarities. The police presence — although it is much for obvious here than it even was in China, and the police seem to have a lot more “gear” here.

Look at all the Buttons!

IN THE BUILDING, BUT NO SEAT
Another day at the Convention, another evening of fantastic speeches, but no mention of small business at all.Yesterday I wrote that “at least I was in the building.” I should learn to be more specific. Last night I got into the Pepsi Center again. But there were NO seats. So how did I see President Bill Clinton’s speech? On a TV monitor in the hallway.
