GOOD news from DWS:

[elleng]

I wanted to make sure you were the first to hear some big news: (RIGHT!!!)

The five major Democratic candidates for President -- Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders, Martin O'Malley, Lincoln Chafee, and Jim Webb -- will be speaking at our annual Summer Meeting in Minneapolis next month.

And you have a chance to join them there, too.

This meeting is already one of our biggest, most exciting events of the year, but now that our entire presidential field will be attending, I can't think of anywhere else I'd rather be.

If you win, we'll fly you and a guest out to Minneapolis and give you VIP access to hear directly from Hillary, Bernie, Martin, Lincoln, and Jim.

There might not be another opportunity quite like this -- so don't miss your chance to win! Pitch in $3 or whatever you can to elect Democrats and be automatically entered today.'

1. glad she's calling them 'major' candidates

...I'll remind her of that while pressing for inclusive debates.

Looks like a good event.

2. O'Malley needs this more than anyone.

I want him standing next to Sanders and Clinton as often as possible. They will make him look and sound even more Presidential. I want people to see that.

[elleng]

3. Yes indeed, he does and will HAVE it!

HE will make himself look and sound presidential (as he did @ Iowa dinner.)

4. That's nice, but when are they debating? n/t

[elleng]

5. Later sometime but they

'will be speaking at our annual Summer Meeting in Minneapolis next month.'

IMPORTANT for Governor O'Malley.

6. He'd benefit a lot more from a nationally televised debate.

DWS needs to do better than "later sometime".

[elleng]

8. Yes he would, and he will,

but tptb aren't ready to provide him with a broad, national forum. They'll wait til they can't avoid it, imo.

7. She's stepping down?

Or been fired? That's the only good news that could come from her.

9. HAHA

[Fuddnik]

10. My thoughts exactly.

11. Excellent!

Thanks for the information!

12. Does anyone know if this event is open to the public?

I live in Minneapolis and would love to go see them talk in person.

I've searched everywhere and can't find any info about it.

[elleng]

13. Dunno, askew.

No clues, but maybe brooklynite has a clue.

14. Why not have a debate the night after the repukes have theirs?

DWS, let's show the people what the differences are between the two parties.

[winter is coming]

15. +1000. Let's have our first debate while the idiocy of the clown car is fresh

in everyone's minds.

16. Excellent idea. Timing is everything...n/t
