the DNC caucus with my 14 year old daughter

She was totally inspired yesterday.She told me she couldn't see her self running ( I could) but maybe she could be a speech writer for a politician.

We snuck in with real DNC caucus passes so we sat on the floor among people who will  actually be voting. We were right right next to the press table. There were 2 press people who seemed to be doing an awful lot of scribbling when Dean spoke.

The people in front seemed to be impressed with Leland, but I heard a lot of clapping from the caucus members behind me when Dean spoke. As writen previously Dean made the best comment of the day.

After it was over I went up to the front with my daughter to see if we could meet Dr Dean. I told him that I was a DFA chair and then introduced my daughter. He was very encouraging to her about being involved and I was again struck my how genuine he is. You can't fake that or buy that or teach that. It's the real deal.

Great
Love the part about getting DNC passes...did anyone notice there was a teen DNC member? She'd probably do as good a job as any....

Can you sneak in again on Feb. 12th and vote for Dean? ;-)

about sneaking in to the caucus...
not one person said anything to my daugher. One member of the NY caucus asked my sister where she was from though.

Oh how I wish I could vote for Dean!!!!!
