1. Kendrick Meek is doing a great job. He's one of the shining lights
of Miami. He's young and pretty new at this but you can see that he's right on target, well researched and going gangbusters. Go Kendrick!

4. OMG-- There's Debbie! She's my Rep- she's fabulous and
the only part of the election that went well last November. Somehow, while no one was noticing. Debbie Wasserman Schultz got elected. Guess the riggers were too focused on Kerry and forgot about the other seats..

In any event- we lucked out big time.

5. What is it "Thirtysomething" Dems?
I can figure out the name, but is it something formal in the party? I haven't heard of it before.

8. It's a working group of Dem Representatives under age 30.
Which means Tim Ryan, Kendall Meek and Debbie Wasserman Schultz.

Lately they've had other older Dems joining them for some of their hours as "honorary 30-somethings."

I love their energy and attention to the issues.

There are, BTW, a variety of caucuses within the party. Including a progressive caucus. But most of them are apparently doing other things than after-hours speeches.
