Why are they wearing Hillary stickers in the picture? Is there anyone handing out the stickers?
What positions are up for election at the convention?
What? No Obama? I thought Virginia was something the Democrats thought they could win!
The Democratic platform has been economic dependence on government, stopping domestic energy production, increasing the tax burden, and the sanctity of human life on death row.
Freddie,
There is a campaign to elect national delegates and electors, but for the most part, this is an un-eventful convention.
There is plenty of enthusiasm though, and all the Dem candidates are very well represented.
The losing presidential candidates are still campaigning?
It sounds like they are using the same sound system as the RPV convetion. It was horrible too.
My dad’s in town, so I’m skipping the daytime activities. We’re going to tour Fort Monroe instead. Then head over later this evening for the hospitality suites stuff. Will you be there, Jim?
Wish I could, Eileen. Going to the ballgame tonight.
This Dem would very much like to see Obama go outside the state for his VP pick (go west, young man!). Both Kaine and Webb have their strengths, but I think there are stronger possibilities out there.
Thanks for the coverage, thus far.

Also, it strikes me that Brian Kirwin is kinda like Flavor Flav to Jim’s Chuck D. An embarrassing clown that signed on early, and no one can find a graceful way to get rid of (and doesn’t have enough sense himself to do the right thing and bow out). Too bad, really.
Great to see MB hold up the liberal tradition of attacks. Go give more money to Green Party candidates when the Democrats just don’t seem to be far enough left for ya, will ya MB?
Good stuff here. Good photos! Hmm, sounds like Warner might be a little worried about Gilmore. Good. Nye’s remark #5 – funny, coming from a Democrat.
Keep up the good work, JR!
Brian, it’s not so much a liberal tradition as an interest in a better discourse. There’s a lot of interesting stuff here at Bearing Drift, but you drool so much stupid all over it that it kinda kills the possibility of good discussion. Maybe one day someone will play George to your Lennie. We’ll see.
MB, are you publicly calling for someone to shoot me?
I wouldn’t think an attorney would be so reckless with his public statements.
Heh. Brian. Poor, uncomprehending Brian (credit for being capable of Googling it, though). Maybe I’ll let the Duke explain it for you.
Really, if you just keep your stupid to yourself, you’re not just doing me a favor, you’re doing *your own team* a favor. And that’s really as much time as I think I’m going to spend on this.
MB, I’d think someone as brilliant as you would have better things to do on a Saturday than pick on little, insignificant me.
Guess not, loser.
Jim, incriminiating evidence that Vivian and I do indeed like some Republicans
The best part of the convention was finally getting to meet you in person. Thanks for your great work!
Just wanted to drop in and say that I got elected as a delegate to the convention. The battle wasn’t nearly as uphill as you may have thought. I’m told I was the top female vote getter
Congrats, Vivian! I’m very happy for you!
AIAW…Viv…it was great seeing you both. It was certainly a highlight of my day.
As for where the Hillary buttons/stickers came from, it is my understanding that Vivian was busy handing them out.
Yes, I was handing them out as we headed to the Clinton caucus. And yes, I ran out of them
