Help! I can't find the current Dem platform on the Dem web site!

Seriously! I can find their platform for 2004, I can find an announcement from 8/9/08 saying they had finalized the platform, I can find McCain's freakin' platform on the Democratic National site, but I can't find the actual platform. A Google search brings up a draft of the platform, dated 8/7/08, but those aren't on the Dem web site. My boss is requesting it, so I'd really like to have the finalized platform from the horse's (donkey's) mouth.

Have the Dems released a final platform or not? :shrug:

1. It is not formally revealed until after the convention

Part of the politicking at the convention is over platform planks. Until the air clears in the smoky back rooms, the 2008 platform will officially exist only in a draft form.

4. Thanks.

It seems kind of strange to me that they'd keep it a secret, but then, politics is a pretty strange business. :hi:
