Draft Warner at YearlyKos

Eddie kindly offered to let me clone my LiveJournal post here at the official blog. After I posted the original LJ version, we also got Governor Warner's speech at the lunch keynote session, which was fantastic -- unfortunately, C-SPAN didn't catch it, due to technical difficulties.

First things first: Draft Warner made the NYTimes, in a bit of a sideways fashion. See here (or the full article), and below.

He's our man. Governor Warner is the most approachable politician I've met. I had a great time meeting him at his reception at the Stratosphere on Friday night.

Yadda yadda... Mark was interested in hearing about whatever his guests cared about. He's an information sponge.

What did I say? No, seriously -- I've completely forgotten what I said! I made some joke about the cellphone industry, but I can't for the life of me remember what it was.

Who's that third Blues Brother? He's the Governor of Rock!

Cross Country! Me with Rich Couture, another supporter of the Draft Warner group, Chair of the Massachusetts Young Dems Labor Caucus, and a grassroots worker (and convention whip) for Chris Gabrielli, a candidate for the Dem nomination for Gov in MA.

The Stratosphere is very tall. This is the view down along the Strip. Ah, Las Vegas, America's monument to excess.
