Congrats. And, even on tv the crowd comes across much more lively and into the speeches than the pathetic spectacle we saw last week.

If you got there on your own hard work, contratulations.
The zenith of all those hours spent going door to door.
If you just gave $10,000, well, enjoy what you paid for.

Did it occur to you that the person might be a delegate? I have two friends who are at the Convention. I think it's rather open.

Any real reason why you needed to pee in the Wheaties of a fellow DUer who was sharing their good news?

And hate to break it to you, but the people who DONATE are also very very important. YOu can't buy an ad or keep the lights on just by knocking on doors. Everyone plays a role.
