What a party!
I'm here in Denver for the annual JJ Dinner (Jefferson-Jackson, although a bunch of us are trying to get Jackson off there because of his genocidal tactics toward Indians).
Ken Salazar introduced keynote speaker Jim Webb -- both were great.
John Salazar received the Chair Award -- from the way the Chair put it, he almost single-handedly rescued the party from bankruptcy. He gave a great speech too.
Clinton and Obama were mentioned in pairs all night and always got at least a smattering of applause. Our table waxed eloquent in favor of a Clinton-Obama or Obama-Clinton Dream Team, but the chances are poor. It appears that both think of the VP slot as second fiddle, and in Obama's case, maybe third to Bill.
There were at least two dozen people who were barely voting age -- that was probably the best news of all. I've been to these dinners where the youngest person there is 30. Two of the 19-somethings had their ticket paid by Grandpa, that was great too -- three generations of Dems at one table.
It was a great evening to be proud to be a Democrat.
