Democratic National Committee Winter Meeting

Ok, the wifi in this hotel just totally sucks. The same thing happened at the Take Back America conference last year. People! The Washington Hilton suckkkkkkkks.

Anyhow, I am really excited.

Howard Dean is talking about being a proud Democrat ... after Reid's mellowness people are just ready to throw their panties at Howard. He just knows how to work a crowd.

At least I am getting a good show. I left at 4:40am after literally jumping into the train whilst it was leaving the station. This after only 3 hours of sleep because last night we had a knock out fundraiser in NYC that raised more than 100K for the Craig Johson campaign.

We rocked last night. We really hit it out of the ball park and it's with that energy that I am here.

Howard just said "no escalation" and people are jumping out of their chairs. What's amazing about Howard is that physically he is not that big a guy, but put him in front of a podium and in front of a crowd --big or small-- and he just whips people into frenzy. He is that charismatic speakers I have ever had the pleasure to hear.

This is really interesting. This is really a business meeting. He is explaining how the process is going to proceed. The order of presidential candidates was set by lottery. Howard is itemizing the rules of engagement and they even include how the music is going to be played when each candidate comes out. That was funny, he said, "I didn't make up these rules". All the candidates have only 7 minutes to talk and they've been warned that they will be cut off.
