Jonathan Singer - 2008 DNC

Looking Back on a Historic Week (part I)

One of the things that campaigns recommend is that after you finish a major event, you should take a day to take full-stock of what happened and then go on vacation. This is different. The DNC WAS my vacation! Also, I like to take time to really decompress before taking a look at things (Oh, did I mention that I'm a slacker?). As you likely noticed, the title of this post includes a Part I. [+]

Thinking “Oh, What a night!”

Thank you to all of you that have been reading my posts. I'll uploading more pictures and posts tomorrow. I have a lot more respect for the press and the deadlines that they need to meet. I am sure if I worked for the media, my editor would have fired me by now. If you weren't in Denver last night, you missed a great speaker (I forget, how do pronounce his name? :) [+]

Still incorporating some bad habits

It's 2:30am.  In case you have already realized this, I am going to After - Parties every night.  This is in addition to protests, rallies, and the DNC proper.   This is some thing I didn't do in 2004 (I went to one).  I use these parties to have fun, but also to decompress.  As it turns out, the days are so busy and the evenings are so full of eloquent speakers, I am taking a [+]

In another late night / early morning

Protests and speeches, and congressmen. Oh my! Today was a real eye opener. I used to work in Denver . Visiting during the Convention makes it feel like a different universe ... A universe in which I run into old friends and colleagues more frequently, and yet still feel completely crowded by strangers. First I got in trouble this morning. The rest of the day progressed as a DNC [+]

Remebering an Evening to Remember

[caption id="attachment_17" align="alignnone" width="300" caption=" A Raucous Crowd at the Convention Center"][/caption] I doubt I will be posting this late (2am)/ early for the whole convention. I am just trying to get a feel for this. After taking a nap at the hotel, Allison (my wife) and I went to a DNC event at the Convention Center. By the way, the Convention Center is not the same as the Democratic National Convention at [+]

August 24, 2008 Brunch with the Governor

[caption id="attachment_8" align="alignnone" width="300" caption="Jonathan Singer, Jared Polis, and Allison Barrett - One of you has earned a trip to Washington DC!"][/caption] Is there any other way to discuss relevant issues of the day? Ok, I didn't really sit down with Gov. Ritter and have brunch. But he did have Colorado's DNC delegation over to the Governor's Mansion. Senator Salazar, Chairwoman Pat Waak, and former Denver City Council President Elbra Wedgeworth all [+]

Nevrously Excited

[caption id="attachment_29" align="alignnone" width="300" caption="One of these people has not been elected to office. Is it House Speaker Andrew Romanoff, Jonathan Singer, or Commissioner Ben Pearlman?"][/caption] Last night I attended the Boulder County Democratic Party annual fundraiser - the Truman Dinner. The usual cast of power players were there (the County Commissioners and local office holders / seekers) . I think the biggest applause was for Congressional candidate Betsy Markey. She was [+]
