Well, the first full day of the convention is over.  I have to start with one correction from yesterday;s post.  I said I had met Alex Darsinos.  I meant Alex Cleghorn of the Transgender Law Center.  Since it was after midnight here when I wrote, & I did have more than one cocktail last night, I hope I can be excused a moment of brainlock.

Turning to today, we started w/our daily TN breakfast.  Our speaker was Fabian Bedne of the Middle TN Hispanic Democrats.  He did a great job talking about why Dems need to be reminded on issues of diversity & remain committed to supporting the American Dream for all.
