Special to WorldTribune.com By Sol W. Sanders Hooray! At this moment there is every expectation that the country’s voters and political aficionados are going to be presented with an old-fashioned open political convention.

Special to WorldTribune.com By Sol W. Sanders The mystery of what goes through President Barak Obama’s mind continues to grow apace.
