7. provocateurs
It's really too easy, and it always works to grab the news.

The only remedy is for Dr. Dean to name it and frame it before it happens:

"I've been asked if I'm worried about law enforcement preparations for violence at the convention in Denver. After all these years of our young democracy, the American people know not to fall for disruption of their lawful, peaceful political gatherings by people who are paid to disrupt. Americans don't like totalitarian tactics; they want to see informed voters, they want to see honest platforms and policies, they want to see fair and clean elections, and they want a free and independent media to cover it all. They want the news to be about the nominees and the policies, not about holding pens and swat teams. We're going to run an all-American, proud-to-be-a-Democrat convention. Let's hope the other side will make Americans proud, too."
