Brian Schweitzer

I just got back from my panel at the Sea Change forum called "The Youngest Voter." Attendance was low and two of the panel participants didn't show up. I think the fact that the forum is within the perimeter and only accessible by delegates and participants is killing the attendance levels.

Even so, the panel was excellent. The focus was a documentary film by Michael Moore protege Jason Pollock called "The Youngest Candidate." The film follows four teenagers as they wage their first campaigns for mayor, city council, and school board. None of the candidates win, but the film presents a hard headed look at their idealism, determination, mistakes, and small victories on the campaign trail.

Jason is still looking for a distributor and anyone who can help him out should do so. This is a great, great film that needs to be seen.

I managed to be somewhat more organized this morning, and actually got my credentials as soon as the office opened,.  I"m becoming a lot more familiar with driving in Denver than I wanted to - its fairly difficult to make connections with the shuttle buses, which are much more oriented toward delegates than the press. 

So I'm back in the big tent, and am just about to go have lunch.  Markos Moulitsas and Brian Schweitzer just walked through in the Big Tent. 

Time to go get fed.
