*LIVE* from the 2009 New Hampshire *MAJORITY PARTY* State Convention... |
|
Hello DU! This is coming to you live from the 2009 New Hampshire Democratic Party state convention!
How about a shout-out for the Granite State, the birthplace of the Republican Party, now a solidly-blue state, and the latest domino to fall in the push for Equal Marriage?
And if you happen to actually *BE* here, come down to the front row of the Hillsborough County delegation and say hello!
Tesha (and Mr. Tesha!)

You can tell we're still Democrats; scheduled to begin at 9:45, the PA system is still blasting Bachman-Turner Overdrive's "You Ain't Seen Nuthin Yet"...
Oh, we're beginning...
Citing all the achievements...

I'm going to see Granny D in a few across the street at the library.

The party officials have been introduced, the Pledge of Allegiance spoken, and the National Anthem sung!

7. Terie Norelli,, our Speaker of the House is now speaking. |
|
Edited on Sat Jun-06-09 09:58 AM by Tesha
On stage with her is the State Rep who just switched from R to D, Jim McCay. He just got a standing ovation from the crowd.
Terie is speaking of the Republicans and how they can cling to their outdated ideas while Democrats represent the future.

9. Sylvia Larsen, the President of the State Senatecis now speaking. |
|
She's discussing the challenges of *ACTUALLY GOVERNING* in tough times, as employment falls and the need for government services rises. She's contrasting the Republicans' naive call for "across the board" budget cuts versus the needs of real people.

10. Rat Buckley, our openly-gay party chair, is now speaking. |
|
One of the things he reminded us of is that *FOR THE FIRST TIME IN HISTORY*, in the Granite State, the birthplace of the Republican Party, there are now more registered *DEMOCRATS* than Republicans.
And now he's speaking of our upcoming removal of our one significant Republican official, US Senator Judd "the Dudd" Gregg.

11. Now Paul Hodes, our 2nd CD Congressman and after 2010, likely US Senator |
|
replacing Judd "the Dudd" Gregg.
Hodes always gives a real stemwinder, so I'm going to listen and not blog his speech.
