Met Obama Supporter and Delegate Curtis Walker
I just met and talked with Curtis Walker, who's a massive Obama supporter as precinct captain and national convention delegate candidate. I had been litterally harranging Curtis for some time about starting a blog for himself and the campaign, and he's done it.
But what's great about being here is to meet all of the cool people in the Obama campaign and in California politics in general.

California Democratic Convention Sunday - Debra Bowen's Introduced
California Secretary of State Debra Bowen is introduced and you can tell she's had her coffee: "Good Morning Democrats!" blarred around the hall. Wow. But she's got a great stage presence.
Meanwhile the Clinton people wait for Bill at the left. Still smaller in size than the Obama crowd.
Debra is focusing on voting security, much to the delight of many here like Brent Turner, who are concerned about the lack of transparency in the electronic voting system.
"In short, I'm creating the kind of checks and balance in our voting system that the founding fathers created in our government system."
She gets a standing ovation.

This Place Is Packed As of 10:26. A Scene
This is a hell of a scene. There must be about 15,000 people here in this hall and all are paying rapt attention to Kamela Harris' speech, but also waiting for former President Bill Clinton. But what I'm surprised at his the power of her speech. She represented Barack well.
..But the Big Show's next (Clinton, Bill).

Kamela Harris is Giving A Good Speech
Ok, so she's not Ted Kennedy, but District Attorney Kamela Harris is giving a good speech on behalf of Barack Obama. It's well-received after a kind of rocky start. But now she's found her voice.
On The Floor OF The Convention - Procedures and Waiting
Art Torres is about to introduce District Attorney Kamela Harris to speak on behalf of Senator Barack Obama. She stars by saying that someone asked her what she was doing in taking the stage next to Bill Clinton. Her answer was "it's part of the campaign; the audacity of hope."
There are now a LOT of Obama supporters as Harris speaks.
