On Tuesday, during a taping of MSNBC’s Hardball, 9/11 Truthers were shouting, “Do your job!” After their mini riot, Code Pink showed up. They began singing a song about bringing the soldiers home. During a commercial break, David Shuster tried to quiet down the crowd, and for the most part it worked. We didn’t want to risk getting sprayed with teargas, so we left.

Here is the video:

One perk of being a blogger at the DNC is the access to the upper stage behind the podium while the speeches are being made. During Pennsylvania Governor Ed Rendell’s speech I was able to take some photos and videos of the the delegates and the media. It’s an overwhelming experience as the crowd is chanting and cheering.

At the “Democratic Women’s Caucus” meeting, the numerous speakers heavily emphasized how women voters could be the ones to decide this election.

United States Senator from Michigan Debbie Stabenow spoke of equal pay for women.

Ann Richards daughter, Cecile Richards, gave a very moving speech about her mother and how proud she would be to campaign for Barack Obama today. Since the focus of the caucus was on women voters, Richards’ best line was, “Women voting for John McCain is like chickens voting for Colonel Sanders.”

Hillary supporters still in their for President attire roamed the aisles looking gloomy and upset. There is a lot of healing that needs to take place with these older Hillary supporters. The convention speeches have done a great job of honoring Hillary’s candidacy and at the same time emphasizing the importance of Barack Obama’s.

Fran Drescher’s speech covered women dealing with cancer, she is a cancer survivor herself. Her organization is called, “Cancer Schmancer.”

The Democratic Youth Press Avail was an energizing event to kick off our Democratic convention coverage. They stressed the importance of youth involvement in the Democratic Party, but their main objective seemed to be to keep those young people in our party even after the election, on November 5th specifically, the day after the election.

It’s important that young voters know that their work is not over even after Barack Obama is elected President of the United States. After politicians are elected, it’s important to hold politicians accountable for their actions.

Jane Fleming Kleeb hosted the event, she is the Co-chair of the DNC Youth Council, and the Executive Director of the Young Voter PAC.

The MTV “Street Team” spokesman Liz Nord discussed their focus was on the effects of veterans returning from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

One of Jane Fleming Kleebs best lines was “We are not unicorns. We are not going to just show up.” She was signaling the importance of youth voter outreach and the Democratic Primary.

One of the last speakers representing the Colorado Young Democrats, with the help of the audience, had this to say about young voters in this and every election: “Worth a lot. Not for sale.”
