With Barack Obama the presumed nominee of their national party, Texas Democrats are heading for Austin Thursday to begin deciding who really won all the state's delegates. I'll be right there as the party, bulging with neophyte delegates, learns the Texas Two-Step actually is a waltz across Texas, 1-2-3, 1-2-3, 1-2-3.
Our focus will be on the Senate District 30 delegates, particularly those with a hankerin' to travel to Denver for the big shindig in September and on party Progressives as they work toward building a new coalition and take back the state.
Press Progress also will bring you teeny videos, pictures of the delegates and reflections on the usually high hat fun, intense resolutions debate, and glorious politicking that mark the Texas Democratic Convention.
Remember folks, hospitality suites generally are the first room to the left of the elevators on any floor of the convention hotel. Austin has a great taxi service, so have safe fun in the capital.
SD 30 delegates will gather to get credentials at 9:30 a.m. Friday.
This convention coverage is dedicated to Molly, Ann and Lady Bird. I bet they're laughin' hard with John Ferguson and John Henry Faulk and advising Billie Carr to enjoy it all a little more. So here's to you great women, progressives, journalists and die-hard patriots.
Check back frequently, at least by Friday, for updates. Also, if you're at the convention and know of an event, caucus or any kind of shenanigans that Press Progress should cover, just shoot me an e-mail at kismetacres@msn.com
