Monday Morning in Boston

Since I'm the "Convention Coordinator" I get to handhold our delegates. It's fun at times (cause I get to know some important political people better) and other times its annoying (cause some delegates are a pain in the ass).

As we walked into the FleetCenter, I had an immense sense of pride and was overwhelmed by everything I saw. Thousands of people, fellow Democrats, were as excited as I were to be there. American flags donned the walls we passed by as we explored the FleetCenter. One of the best moments of the night was when I entered space where I could see everything- the podium, the news booths, and the other delegations. Not knowing what to expect, Megan and I got to the convention at 4pm--and left around midnight.

It was SO cool to walk the floor. I had only seen conventions on TV and now I was a part of it.

Best speech of the night: President Bill Clinton. His cadence, words, and one-liners were awesome. He captivated the whole audience the whole time. I kept saying to Megan, "God, he's an awesome speaker." Read the whole speech. Most speakers have a hard time ending speeches, but read what Clinton said:

Since we’re all in the same boat, let us chose as the captain of our ship a brave good man who knows how to steer a vessel though troubled waters to the calm seas and clear skies of our more perfect union. We know our mission. Let us join as one and say in a loud, clear voice: Send John Kerry.
