I see an immediate problem with that excerpt, in that the person who wrote it (blogger??) reveals him/herself to be a rabid anti-Democratic partisan hack.
From your excerpt:
"THIS IS TO CERTIFY that at the National Convention of the Democrat Party of the United States of America, held in Denver, Colorado on August 25 though 28, 2008, the following were duly nominated as candidates...(")
Just the relevant bit, notice it is in "quotes", as the person (blogger??) claims that it came from the actual DNC document, which is reproduced later in the OP.
There is this vague reference to a "typo", not of the (blogger's??) doing, he/she claims.
Well, what immediately jumped out at me was, even though this (blogger??) allegedly re-types the DNC document in "quotes", he/she still uses the pejorative "Democrat" instead of the correct, and as seen in the actual document, accurate term "Democratic". (e-mine)
THIS is seen repeatedly by the far-right loons.
Fostered and repeated no doubt by certain individuals who shall be best left unnamed...and ditto for Fox "News" as well....
