Another breakfast roster of stellar speakers started the day for the Massachusetts delegation:
Al Franken, candidate for US Senate from Minnesota, was hilarious, incisive -- and sensible. Hope he wins.
Robert Kennedy, Jr., opined about the energy crisis with a good deal of passion and vintage Kennedy style. His two sons, both 20-somethings, accompanied him -- both are involved politically in state or national campaigns.
Gov. Michael Dukakis remarked with characteristic humor and liberal umbrage on subjects as varied as our crumbling transportation infrastructure, to John McCain's mean streak, to why we should all volunteer in grassroots capacities during the fall campaign.
Rumors:
* Gov. Deval Patrick's speech has moved to a prime time spot.
* Some Clinton delegates still want to cast their votes, and will probably have a symbolic opportunity to do so.
* Boston may have its own brand-new liberal talk radio in a few months' time. Boston comedy favorites like Jimmy Tingle will be tapped to offer his talent on air.

Hands down, I thought Deval Patrick was THE BEST speaker tonight! His speech was a little familiar but seemed injected with newness as well. And his delivery was, as always, impecable. He blew me away, graying hair and all. I am so proud and looking forward to more things to come from him whether in Massachusetts or beyond.
Marianne, could you stand Hillary's speech? It seemed way longer than anyone else's although it was well written. I don't know, she still manages to annoy me.
Unfortunately, I missed most of Mark Warner's address. It was way shorter than I thought it would be. What did you think of it?
Susan
