hey, i'm going to my state convention as a delegate from my ward.

[mopinko]

which means i am going to the state fair, also. hubby, too.
there must be a million delegates, cuz our ward, 1 of 50 in chicago, has 22 delegates. but should be pretty cool.
the state fair should be something else, also. i have only been once in my life. and i didn't find the butter cow. democrats day. :woohoo:

1. I wanna' go from my ward!!!

Congratulations, btw.

2. i just wanna see the butter cow.

but dreading the food at the fair. i think they have a rule that all food served on the grounds must be deep fried.

seriously, tho, my alderman is a great guy, and they are very welcoming, even of people that have disagreed with them. i think one of the delegates is a guy who ran against him in the last election.

3. And I am seriously glad you get to go...

participation in political stuff is always gratifying at some deep, citizenly level. :thumbsup:

Avoid the deep-fried Snickers bars...

4. road trips.

nothing like a little road trip. did the 4th of july parade with a state house candidate, right behind jan schakowsky. fun, fun.
yeah, it is a deep evolutionary trigger. the makings of the naked ape.

5. Springfield's One "Wild" Town...

I remember going to that fair when I was a kid...didn't believe I was in the same state. Hope ya like the smell of pigs and corn dogs. :rofl:

Congrats...if you see Blago while you're there, stomp on his foot for me.

Cheers.

6. if i see blaggo i will run.

i was raised on the edge of the burbs, and am well aware of the oh, so special dairy air.
much as i know blaggo is a nut case, it still galls me that there is so much patience for rethuglican nut cases and so little for dems. i think it is nearly impossible to be a dem and be respected and liked in office. there are a couple, but very few, in spite of how many do a great job.
