Live from the Texas State Democratic convention [View All]

[crispini]

Well it's been a fun 24 hours so far. I arrived last night and attended the opening reception and the blogger's caucus (the bloggers had free beer, yay!). My fellow delegate and I attended a few issue caucuses today, all of which were very interesting. This afternoon we started our work in our Senate District delegations, electing our committee members. Obama delegates controlled our SD, so we took a goodly chunk of the committee seats, although not all. We didn't finish our SD caucus elections this afternoon, though, so we will return tonight, but I suspect we will do better than some of the other SD's, since we got through a lot of our elections.

We're in general session right now, and boy howdy, there is some ENERGY here for the good work that we are doing in Texas. We have made some real gains in this state and we WILL make a lot more in the fall. There is a lot of discussion about unity and going forward and we have a BIG HALL full of fired up Democrats! State Senator Kirk Watson has just finished showing that he CAN speak... hee... some people may remember him as the Obama supporter who embarrassed himself on MSNBC ... but he really is a good guy and a great candidate.

More as things progress, until the battery dies!

GO TEXAS DEMS!
