What I learn about Democratic Convention

   August 29, 2008

This week on IN Your Head Radio I interviewed several media persons at the National Democratic Convention in Denver – Mike Papantonio, Farron Cousins of Go Left Tv, Kenneth Quinnell of Florida Progressive Coalition, David Bender of Air America Radio.

This is what I learned:

There is a strong youth movement in the Democratic Party. Barack Obama’s hi-tech approach to campaigning is really connecting with them.

There is no big split between Obama and the Clintons. No one said that they saw crowds of Hillary protesters.

Joe Biden is seen as a solid choice by the party faithful.

Despite what the NY Times reported, if you knew where to look there were good parties in Denver….but isn’t that always the case.
