Excitement is in the air as thousands of delegates from across our country are arriving in Denver for the Democratic National Convention. I spent my day walking precincts in the small, farming community of Coalinga, so it looks like I will be packing through the night as I await my flight out of Fresno tomorrow morning.
As a former staff member and supporter of Sen. Hillary Clinton, I must say I was somewhat dissappointed to hear the news that she had not been selected as Sen. Obama's running mate. Every qualification that Barack Obama had set forth in a vice president, she far exceeded.
That being said, Sen. Joe Biden, also exceeds those qualifications and I am anxious to learn what his vision is for the changes our country must make. Calls and emails are coming in from other delegates from throughout the San Joaquin Valley with questions that range from what the weather is like in Denver to whether the Emily's List event is still sold out.
The California Democratic Party is hosting a special reception for our delegation tomorrow night and we all plan to attend. I look forward to sharing with you again, next time from Denver!
