Most of the swing states such as Ohio, Michigan, and Pennyslvania get the prime spots up front, though we're also seated right next to Georgia and Missouri towards the left-center from the podium. We're the biggest delegation, but there was a slide that read, "Which State Has the Best Cheering Section? Text DNC & Your State Initials to 62262 (Ex: DNC DC). The text messaging drive just never stops...The schedule feels a lot like a freshman orientation week. There's always a list of scheduled events occurring during the day and evening that you can choose to attend, and every morning we have a scheduled breakfast with the entire California delegation. It's a bit of a surreal feeling though to cross a bridge with the pedestrian entrance blocked by a fence, cement walls, and Secret Service agents asking you for your credentials.
Congrats to Jenn Pae (CD-9), who was pulled aside by someone from the Daily Show because she was eating nacho's. She may also be interviewed by MTV, and the Korean press seems to spend 45 minutes interviewing her since she's the only one of her ethnicity they seem to be able to find.
Stay tuned for the lockdown that happened at our hotel earlier in the day. The details are sparse, but I'm sure the local press will start to pick up on the story.
