Convention Blog 4: Sign In and Issue Caucuses

Today starts with sign in at the convention center. We've been warned
to go early because of the huge number of delegates and alternates
attending this year (over 50% of whom are first time attendees).

After that, all day today there are various optional issue caucuses.
In keeping with the diversity of the party, there's something for
everyone: Democrats for Life, the energy policy caucus, the Latino
caucus, Stonewall Democrats, Blue Dog Democrats, Gunowning Democrats, the computer and technology caucus, the women's caucus, even the Motorcycle Democrats.

The real business of the convention begins at 3:00 pm when the SD 16
caucus gets started. This is where we elect delegates and select
people for the various committee slots as well as elect members of the
State Democratic Executive Committee.
