Today's the Day

C-SPAN is covering today's DNC meeting from 6:45 am to noon, Seattle time. See it here or on your cable-enhanced tv. If things drag, read this paper from the Progressive Democrats of America, "Why Dean is Good for Progressive Grassroot Democrats." From the article: "Only three months ago PDA jumped headlong into the Ohio election results fight, simultaneously with entering the Dean for DNC fight. One path led Barbara Boxer and a core group of House members led by John Conyers and Stephanie Tubbs-Jones to stand fearlessly against voter suppression of African Americans. The other path led to a new DNC Chair, a man who believes in small donors and volunteer energy, who comes from outside the Beltway, who opposed the war in Iraq, and who stands up for principles when challenged."
