DNC 2016 in Philadelphia

[NYCButterfinger]

A year from now in July 2016, the Democratic presidential ticket will be nominated in the great city of Philadelphia. Whomever it is, the party will have to display numerous rising stars in the party. Will you be at the Democratic National Convention next year?

[Thinkingabout]

1. No but I will remain in close contact with the proceedings.

2. Hell yeah I'll be there.

I live a 30min train ride outside the city.

3. The process to be elected a delegate is a long one

I am strongly considering running to be a delegate

5. Tempted, but probably not

I was there in Denver when Obama was nominated, and it was a heady experience. I saw a LOT of old friends and some of the speeches were rousing. But Howard was DNC chair then, and he opened a lot of doors for me. Besides, July is Cape Cod for me. It is badly needed down time I get at no other time of the year. Yeah, I went down to DC 3 years ago when it was an invitation to meet with Obama for an hour, but I was back up here by that evening. I just don't see doing a "been there done that" gig if it means blowing off the one time of the year I get to chill out. If it had been in August, like it was in 2008, that would have been another story.
