Just received this from M'OM:

Friend,

I arrived in Philadelphia this morning for the Democratic National Convention, and I'm ready to get to work.

I'm ready to join my fellow Democrats in fighting for middle class families and progressive values.

I'm ready for us to make history.

On Wednesday, just after 7PM, I will address the entire Democratic convention to make clear that Secretary Clinton is not only one of the most experienced nominees in our party's history, but also one of the toughest. She will fight for the marginalized, honorably represent our nation in the world, and lead a nation of inclusion and love rather than one of division and hatred.

Last week was a dark moment in our nation's history: A dangerous, bigoted demagogue was nominated by the party of Lincoln, Roosevelt, and Eisenhower.

This week, our party will celebrate the common hope of our people, our diversity, and the tremendous progress we have made under President Obama.

And most importantly, we will make Hillary Clinton the first woman presidential nominee of a major political party.

I hope you'll tune in this week as we make history.



Martin

I was thinking Sec. of Ed. would be appropriate for him, since schools here in MD always earned top rankings while he was in office.

But then, he would be equally qualified for a half-dozen other cabinet departments.

because he's a great administrator. He likes environmental matters and thought of a Maryland position.

like O'Malley's.

EPA is also good, and perhaps HUD, in light of his experience in B'more.

I hope he gets a Cabinet position and experience with the federal government, or runs for Senate and gets in.

Trump is more of the party of McCarthy
