Still No Floor Credentials, But Did See J-Lo


Yesterday, my schedule was jam-packed. Me and a few friends from Democrats abroad woke up an hour earlier than the rest of our group to crash the delegate breakfast and see if we could sell our souls for some credentials. It didn’t work.

However I did get to see Gov. Schweitzer (Montana) in all his cowboy glory, give a charismatic and rally raising speech over plates of bacon and eggs.


  Me with Gov. Schweitzer

After we left for our slightly tedious morning seminars, the topic of conversation was the breakdown of political commercials. My favorite was with Mike Huckabee and Chuck Norris.  You should Youtube it, it really was hilarious!

Luckily I was rescued from our afternoon lectures by my brother’s friend, Gary He allowed me to tag along while he snapped photos and let me cross into the VIP section- I even saw Jennifer Lopez!

We wrapped up the day by going to dinner and a watch party, where political unity was accomplished by Clinton and supported by Biden. I came home exhausted as always, but excited for the acceptance speech tomorrow, it’s going to be incredible!
