10. Texas had a good virtual convention.

It was put together on shorter notice than the National one.

The best part: being able to have VPBiden, Speaker Pelosi, Senators Harris, Warren, and other party dignitaries all speak at the general sessions. I missed the lively atmosphere of being in the hall with 10000 Democrats, but it still worked.

We were also able to attend caucuses, and a really neat event called the "Women's Room" whichfeatured women from across the state, just dropping in for a visit There were scheduled speakers who led various discussions, we all introduced ourselves to each other. Normally this is a room or area set aside for women to drop in and hear speakers, take a load off, visit, have light refreshments. The virtual version was more condensed timewise but we were able to interface with more people at one time.

I believe the DNC can pull off a great convention, especially since they have had more lead time than we did.
