Yes, I was handing them out as we headed to the Clinton caucus. And yes, I ran out of them

As for where the Hillary buttons/stickers came from, it is my understanding that Vivian was busy handing them out.

Congrats, Vivian! I’m very happy for you!

AIAW…Viv…it was great seeing you both. It was certainly a highlight of my day.

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

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!

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.

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, are you publicly calling for someone to shoot me?

I wouldn’t think an attorney would be so reckless with his public statements.

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.

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!

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?

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.
