Tuesday - anniversary of the right to vote for women - put Democratic women on the stage and were they ever great! Hillary's speech the greatest UNITY speech we've ever heard and the most articulate reason for all of us to vote for Obama. Her key - being in the primary for HER wasn't the real reason she hoped - people were in because they support the people she supports - those who need jobs, health care, security, peace, and A JUST SOCIETY.
After the convention closed for the night the PA-NY-NJ,FL delegations had a reception at the Invesco Center (scene for Thurs) - attended by the GOVS of NY, NJ, PA, and HILLARY, BILL, and CHELSEA. What a family of pro's.
Granholm, Napolitano, Boxer, LEDBETTER and the other strong women on the podium showed women leaders at their best - and they are proud to be feminists.
Today I meet with Hillary and all her delegates prior to the convening of the session today and the nomination process.
PS: Collecting buttons, t-shirts and other memorabililia for the LCDC auctions!
PSS: look for us just behind the CNN folks tonight. Hillary's comment about the Society of the Traveling Pantsuits was a riot. I'm in a green one tonite.
PSS: other great lines - Hillary commenting on how appropraite the Twin Cities are for the republicans since we have the twins Bush and McCain there. And The line from one of the others that McCain isn't a maverick - he's a sidekick.

hey lois- what color were you wearing last night for hillary's speech? i think i saw you on cspan! lol
It was a roller coaster of emotions on this side of the T.V. tonight. I got really choked up seeing Hillary calling for the nomination of Obama by acclamation. Then I was swept away by Bill Clinton's oratory as he told us to work for the election of Barack. I hope you're having a great time, Lois.
Lois,
Hope you are all having a great time - we'll be thinking of you guys when we're at Penn Cinemas on thursday evening. Great speeches - can't wait to hear your stories!
