Sorry that she will miss out on the speech, but a call? Priceless!!

I DO wish that the DNC had some forethought, and arranged for an additional venue for the night, to handle the overflow crowd, via live feed, in the event of weather issues.

I'll bet that was a thrill. It'd never work for me because I would never believe it wasn't one of my friends punking me. By the time we got it sorted out, Obama would probably be yelling at me. LOL

Congratulations to her! Did she manage to say anything or did she just go "humina humina humina" like I would've?

Weather.com currently suggesting a ... 100 percent chance of precipitation and calling for t-storms at 7 pm.

Stupid Democrats. Can't believe they moved indoors and lied about ... hey waaaait a minuuuute!

Her group was affected by the venue change, too, and the trip was canceled.

VERY cool that he did that.

...it was a terrific experience.

His phone died, btw--and he had to call me back. Hilarious.

That's terrific that she got a call. You'll have to give us more details, if you can share!
