Has anybody else been watching CSpan today? The Dem Platform Committee has been on all day. [View all]


It's been wonderful.
Makes me so proud to be a Democrat.
This is to set up the platform for the Democratic National Convention.

Different people from all walks of life have been invited to speak.
Gay Rights, Obamacare success stories, teachers, union leaders, foreign affairs, climate change, different 'minority' groups.
All of these different groups have been reporting back to the Dem Platform Committee about what people are saying and what people want out in "the real world".

I can tell you this, the President has alot of support from alot of different groups of people. An outpouring of support.

It's just finishing up now, but I bet C-Span will re-air it or it will be on their website.


It's been a slice of Democratic Heaven.
