The DNC: Its 1:30 and We're Inside Invesco!
They told us to take the delegate bus, but three days at the DNC have
shown us that even weary feet get you where you need to go fastest.
An hour's walk in the noonday sun was no problem for us intrepid Obama
delegates from silicon valley. We are among the first few hundred
people here, and we are on the silken edge of history unfolding.
My batteries will run out long before this glorious day turns to
night, presaging an historical dawn. But know this: as this arena
fills, the mood is euphoric and awed. We Democrats, united and on
fire, are going to take our country back and restore for the world the
America it so achingly needs, in 68 days.
You are a beautiful, passionate writer. I have loved reading your posts in real time. Try to keep that battery as long as you can, because I so want to hear what you're feeling and thinking tonight. My heart is with all of you there, even as I stay back here in California.

Julie, I thought of you every time I could see the California banner peeking between the two big media tents in front of me. I was right there behind you. (OK, behind Katie Couric). It was a beautiful, awesome night.
