a couple of those folks will be there, but not the bigs.
besides, it is a super busy time for these folks.

I also wish I could make it, but a weeknight trip to Chicago is just not possible for me anytime soon.

got a big place.

and yes, i loves the jan. i promised kelly that i would stalk her if i had to to get the endorsement, then i bumped into her at my ward office. i get to see quite a bit of her. and when people pass the meme about how many days congress "works", meaning, actually, sit, i argue with them. jan works VERY VERY hard when she is home.
and will ALWAYS do what she can for another dem esp a woman candidate.
very proud of her.
