Delegates in TV Land

The Today Show had a piece this morning highlighting Obama's online support among voters who meet up and organize through my.barackobama.com -- all the delegates call the site "MyBO" which I find very cute and millennial.

The segment featured Washington's own Jayron Finan! Luke Russert was clearly impressed by her enthusiasm and dedication.

Here's a hanger-on's perspective: these delegates are working unbelievably hard. I drove some of them home last night after the big convention session, and they were just totally worn out after 15 hours of meetings, walking, speeches, walking, small talk, walking, blistering heat, and walking. (The delegate gift bag included a pedometer, no joke.)

Imagine having to do that from 7am to 10pm every day, and to keep smiling, stay on message, and engage in smart conversations the whole time. They never know when or by whom they will be interviewed.

I'm so proud that Washington Democrats elected this strong and smart group of delegates to represent us. Our delegates rock!
