Democrats still going

It's after 8:40 p.m. and it's pretty quiet in the Will Rogers Coliseum.

Not because they are through with the District 10 convention. Noooooo.

It's because they are counting. Yup. Counting to see how many delegates will go to the state convention in Austin this summer for Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton.

And about 200 of the most interested delegates are still here. Waiting.

Me too.

I left at 7:00 pm. I have been going to conventions since 1980 (though I missed a few) and have never been more frustrated. We did not receive out packet to elect delegates until 5:00 pm. I arrived before 8:00 am. I know that this is an unusual year, and that there were many credentials challenges, but this was more than I had expected. The greatest harm will come to those first-time convention attendees who left in frustration. I hope that they will give this process another try, and that we can improve it within the next two years.
