Convention Blog 2: Opening Reception

Those of us in town just got out of the opening reception.

An incredibly energized crowd--both Obama and Clinton supporters. For
all the consternation of the primary campaign, those tensions seem to
be fading away with the realization that, for Democrats, this really
is OUR year, both nationally and in Texas. This year is the first
election of the 21st century, and, this year, we as the American
people will send a powerful message about the type of America we want
going forward.

Just thinking about what America will look like this time next year
fills me at least with a powerful sense of hope.

But enough for now, there are a couple of more parties to attend.,
while Barbara is off to attend Ester's Follies.
