How many of you are at the County/Senatorial Conventions today?

I'm reporting live from the Resolutions Committee for the 16th Senatorial in Dallas County - we are currently in the midst of what appears to be campaign speeches and Exhibit A collection. I'm not in the auditorium at the moment, but it sounds pretty lively.

See if you can get promoted to full delegate at Houston - it happens on a fairly regular basis.

Very quiet. I think I am going to start a business teaching new candidates how to speak in public. Well, it would have to be a not for profit.

I'm beginning to think that the Democratic Party exists in name only in this county.

If you have a chair who is not doing the job, look around for another one or run yourself. Don't give up. What county are you in. Does the chair have your e-mail address?
