Wow, what a night last night was on floor of the convention. Let's start with the obvious: Hillary was amazing and that is not just my opinion. I was able to stand at the foot of the stage last night, literally 20 feet from her and was mesmerized by her strength and her courage.

If I heard it once I heard a hundred times walking out of the convention hall. Convention goers left that building different from when they walked in... many now feeling like they have her blessing to move forward and give their support to Barack. But it wasn't just in her words it was her demeanor that carried the night. She delivered that speech with every ounce of sincerity and integrity in her. During her lifetime she has inspired millions through her courage and strength and that was no where more evident that in last nights speech.

People wonder why Hillary supporters are loyal. Last night was the perfect display of why we care so much and why we are so vested in her as a person, as a senator, and as a leader. Obama loyalists also felt her sincerity and I feel saw the Hillary I have come to know and revere. Last night wasnt easy for many. I'm sure it wasn't easy for her, her staff and certainly not her supporters but it was necessary. This is now about November and taking back the White House. This about healthcare for everyone and a stable economy. This is about leaving no child behind and restoring American standing in the world. This is about beating John McCain in November and for many that race started last night.

Throughout the night I was receiving text messages from folks back home regarding our local elections. I couldn't contain my enthusiasm for one of my candidates Catherine Catlin. I yelled into the phone with excitement after having unseated an incumbent judge! To my surprise Tucker Carlson was walking behind and listening to my conversation and congratulated me. We actually walked and talked with each other for well over 10 minutes exchanged cards took a photo together went our separate ways.

I then headed to the Hyatt to grab a quick bite to eat with a friend and in walks Paul Begala with his son and wife. We too had a conversation about Hillary and her speech, about this race in general and I told them to stay away from the sandy scallops. I finished up dinner and headed to the Grammys Rock the Convention party to meet up friends. We managed to snag VIP credentials and rub elbows with a few dated musicians, none of which I could tell you their names. Herbie Hancock was in the house as well as one guy from the Grateful Dead. Playing on stage merely 3 feet away was Everclear. Daughtry was on before them followed by Flobots for those who follow rock. I on the other hand tend to stick to jazz but it was still very exciting. Hollywood stars are out in record numbers.apparently its very cool to be a Democrat these days.

I am heading to our delegation breakfast then going to a meeting with Hillary and her delegates. Today will be another exciting day on the floor as we are hearing from Bill Clinton, Al Gore and Joe Biden. Yep they are getting the band back together..and Ill have front row seats thanks to the DNC. Blog you later.
