Video of Obama's Acceptance speech

Still gives me chills. Watch and compare to the current tripe on the news channels.

DMN video of Texas delegation at INVESCO

For however long it's up on the Dallas Morning News website:
http://www.dallasnews.com/video/dallasnews/hp/index.html?nvid=277241&stry

Lots of Dallas-area delegates interviewed. You can see Erin in her trademark white hat, and Patti at the end waving her Obama rainbow growl towel.

Back home in Dallas

As we were departing Denver yesterday afternoon...

We did indeed "watch history unfold" in Denver during the last week...what a convention!

Erin & I are so tired from the trip but also energized by it all -- hard to believe November 4th is just around the corner! We all have so much work to do between now & then...I hope everyone is gearing up to blockwalk, phonebank, & talk to your neighbors, friends, & family in support of the Democratic ticket, from the top to the bottom. Our time is now!

Friday was a snoozefest

I totally crashed on Friday. After four days of bad food and no sleep, the very expensive, not so great hotel room became a sanctuary. We finally roused and went to have dinner at a nice restaurant and to say goodbye to Denver. A final round of buying t-shirts and buttons, packing up all the swag and CNN non-stop. ~waves goodbye to the convention, hotel and the Mile High City~
We're off to the airport this morning and back to Dallas. It'll be good to be home.

Thank you, Chris!

A big shout-out of gratitude & THANKS to the Hon. Chris Luna, who gave me his delegate credential yesterday before having to return to Dallas for some business...thank you, Chris!!

(I just noticed that over Chris' right shoulder is Paul Smith, the attorney who presented the oral argument on behalf of Lawrence in Lawrence v Texas before the United States Supreme Court in 2003.)

We just heard on CNN that Sen. Barack Obama's acceptance speech at INVESCO Field at Mile High last night was watched by 38 million viewers -- more than the Olympics Opening Ceremony, more than the finale of American Idol. It was a thrill to be there in person, a wonderful experience that I'll never forget...thank you, Chris! :)
