Wednesday Breakfast

We had a very busy morning this morning.  Gov. Vilsack addressed the delegation.  He said he was not here as a former Governor but as a father of two boys that "I love to the core."  "I am here because I am not going to look my boys in the eyes and say I'm sorry for being the 1st generation in American history to leave the country worse."

Iowa A.G. Tom Miller said "When Obama takes the oath of office, think about the message that will have around the world."

Treasurer Mike Fitzgerald, "Last night unity was the theme, but it's not enough just say it.  You have to get out and help.  It is important for the down ballot races.  I know... I am one.

Gov Culver was in attendance listening on.

We had two amazing guests this morning.  First was Illinois Senator Dick Durbin.  He talked about how ridiculous it is for the news pundits to criticize Obama for having his speech at Invesco field. "It's like criticizing him for the color of his tie.  They had to turn away 40,000 people.  Wouldn't John McCain love to have one night in his political life with a crowd like that?"

Then Speaker Pelosi addressed the delegation. "10 million children in America do not have health insurance.  It would cost the same amount to insure all 10 million for a year for the same price as 40 days in Iraq.  George Bush vetoed that bill and John McCain stood beside him."

It was then voting time.  Below is a picture of Gov. Culver, Lt. Gov. Patty Judge and me casting our votes for BARACK OBAMA!
