Another Amazing Late Night

Due to technical difficulties (circuit overload...computer, not my brain) I could not post last night. Yesterday started again with a Pennsylvania delegate breakfast meeting. Speakers addressed Pa issues, particularly voter ID and provided us with plenty of information to carry back to our home district voters.
Went to the Time Warner Cable Arena at 5 PM and secured isle seats to have a good view of all of spectacular line-up of speakers. Crowd loved Sandra Fluke and Elizabeth Warren. Of course, President Bill Clinton was the star and ignited the crowd when he said he said, they asked me how I managed a surplus budget 4 years in a row, I answered with one word ARITHMETIC.
At the end of the speech, President Obama came on stage with President Clinton to thunderous applause and shouts of Four More Years. This was one of the moments of this convention I will keep with me forever.
Afterwards, we attended the Mid-Atlantic States Reception at the beautiful Discovery Place Museum in Uptown Charlotte.
There I chatted with 2 of our Delco State Representatives, Thaddeus Kirkland and Margo Davidson
One more sleepless night ahead but well worth it. Can't wait to hear President Obama speak tonight. Hope I can comment live
