The Latest and Greatest from the Campaign

Many have been asking me for 'insider' details. I have to assure you that this campaign has the same equality in inclusiveness of breaking information for everyone, public and delegates like me. So here is what we have gotten so far. I can't say I trust the press when it says that word will come out today on VP pick, since we just got this a few minutes ago... I leave this Friday at midnight!!!! So excited!! :)

Who’s the VP? Be the first to know!

Senator Barack Obama is about to choose a running mate, and he wants you to know first. You have helped build this movement from the bottom up, and he wants you to be part of this important moment.

2008 Democratic National Convention Delegation To Be Most Diverse In Party History

With certification of all delegates for the 2008 Democratic National Convention now complete, the DNCC was proud to announce that 44.3 percent of the delegates elected to attend the Convention in Denver represent minority communities, 50.1 percent are women and 31.4 percent are either seniors or youth, making yours the most diverse Convention in Party history.



“Opening the door of the political process to people who have never taken part in the past has been the bedrock of our planning for this Convention since we arrived in Denver one year ago,” said Leah D. Daughtry, CEO of the DNCC. “Twelve months and 56 primaries and caucuses later, it’s only fitting that our delegates represent that same core value and Barack Obama’s unparalleled ability to bring more new people in to the electoral process than ever before. Young and old, first-timers and Convention veterans, all representing a broad spectrum of backgrounds and communities, this is a delegation that will bring America’s voices to Denver.”
