On Our way To Austin

I'm leaving this morning (Thursday, June 5) for Austin and the 2008 Texas Democratic Convention. About 7,000 delegates plus thousands of alternates, media wonks and others are set to converge on Austin for what many of us hope will be more celebration than battle.
With Barack now the "Presumptive Nominee", we're hoping that we can begin to come together as a party united around our candidate. The stakes are too high to remain split, and half of the Democratic party isn't going to beat anyone in November.
I'll be blogging through the Convention, so stay tuned.
There's not a whole lot happening today. Parties, mostly. The real business begins on Friday, with issue caucuses in the morning and early afternoon, then Sentate District meetings later afternoon. Those SD meetings are where National Delegates, committee representatives and other party leaders will be elected, and are not without controversy of their own.
More to come.
