Friday night 8/22/08 in Denver

Getting on the shuttle from the airport to the Sheraton hotel, we ran into Bob Mulholland and his wife Jane,a Butte County Supervisor. Jane is a Hillary delegate (CA 2),and Bob is “uncommitted until Wed. night”, he says to us. Bob is a high-powered Domocratic operative (DNC member) from California. Bob’s work uncovered Hershensens visits to porn stores and to strip clubs weeks prior to the vote in 1992 that helped give Barbara Boxer the win. They got on the shuttle, and there was no room for us, so we waited for the next shuttle.
About 15 minutes later, we were on the next shuttle. With us on the shuttle was State Senator Hunter from Chicago. She served with Obama on the Health and Human Services Commission during their freshman terms. On Wed. night, Senator Hunter is holding a party for Obama from 9:30 to 1 AM and she invited us to attend. We gave her a business card and she said she’d put us on the invitation list. Also on the shuttle was Dee Dee Edmondson, who is on the Credentials Committee, she’s from Boston.

Later at the hotel, we ran into Bob Pike who is doing advance work for Gloria Allred and worked for Grey Davis for many years. At the hotel, on our 20th floor, we ran into a guy from New York who is on the Rules committee.
This morning (Sat.) John ran into Bridget, the aid to Randi Weingarten, the President of the American Teacher’s Federation, based in New York. We’ll be hooking up with Bridget to go to the National Hillary Network’s hospitality suite (the group was responsible for getting the Nomination Petition signed by over 300 delegates, and I was very active in the formulation and follow-through on the petition drive)
