CHARLOTTE, N.C. (MCT) — The second night of the Democratic National Convention began in confusion and dissent Wednesday over a last-minute effort to reinsert language into the party’s platform invoking God and affirming Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, an embarrassing episode that marred what otherwise has been a high-flying gathering.

The maneuver triggered booing by delegates in the Time Warner Cable Arena and raised questions about how President Barack Obama’s campaign overlooked the omissions in the drafting process — a failure that handed the Republicans fresh fodder to levy attacks about the administration’s values.
