Things are heating up for the Democratic Convention that begins later this month in the Mile High City.
Speakers have been announced for each night of the convention. Michelle Obama will speak Monday night, followed by Senator Hillary Clinton on Tuesday and Barack Obama’s vice presidential nominee on Wednesday. Read more details here.
Some of you may have caught the deliberations of the Platform Committee on C-SPAN on Saturday, chaired ably by our own Governor Deval Patrick. The Denver Post hailed the final platform as a concensus document intended both to appease Senator Clinton's supporters even while it sets a new direction for the country, clearly and firmly in language Obama supporters will find familiar.
The Massachusetts delegation has been having conference calls each Tuesday, when state committee staff update us on convention plans, invitations, details and information. I have got numerous emails and voicemails: some were polls asking my opinion, some were invitations to Denver events, still others asked for my support of specific programs and issues.
