Hillary’s speech to her delegates

It certainly looks a whole lot better on my computer than it does on Google Video 😦 which, given how bad YouTube is, I figured I'd give a shot.  At least you can hear her words. UPDATE: I think this one is better. WordPress.com Political Blogger Alliance

Convention update: Wednesday

When I picked up my credentials Wednesday morning, I was presented with a sheet to vote for my choice for president. The sheet contained a list of all of the names of the delegates, a box for us to check and a line to sign our names.

I’m back!

I'm home. I'm exhausted, my legs are swollen beyond recognition, and my blood pressure is inexplicably up. Hopefully, I'll get some sleep tonight and get some posts up tomorrow. In the meantime - who the heck is Sarah Palin? Talk about a pick from out of nowhere. Absolutely coolest moment of this trip: meeting a … Continue reading I’m back! →

Yes, they have coffee pots in the room but I much prefer real cream or milk over that powdered stuff. While downstairs, … Continue reading Monday in Denver – so far →

Made in to Denver all in one piece

I used the "official airline" of the Democratic National Convention and as those of you who followed my Twittering already know, wound up getting to Denver some 5 hours later than scheduled. The holdup? Apparently, the folks who run the airline had no idea that so many people would be flying out of Norfolk at … Continue reading Made in to Denver all in one piece →

Twittering the Democratic Convention

I've signed up for a Twitter account and you should, too 🙂 I figured it would be a really quick way to post stuff that's going on in Denver. If you already have a Twitter account, you can add me - my account is vpaige. I've also stuck my Twitter RSS feed in the sidebar. … Continue reading Twittering the Democratic Convention →
