August 24th, 2008 — Denver, DNC, The Audacity of Democracy
The Premiere of The Audacity of Democracy screens in less than 2 hours. We’ll be blogging as much as we can tonight — and put the youtube up as soon as possible.
This is the original last month:
Gossip is swirling about Hillary’s delegates and what’s happening on Wednesday — remember, only Hillary speaks for Hillary. But, that being said, we’ll be talking to lots of delegates tonight and will keep you informed.
Stay tuned. . .
And be wonderful to each other.

August 24th, 2008 — Denver, DNC, Puma PAC
We are on the lookout for Betty Jean and the Puma RV — she is picking up Lady Boomer and Sheri at the airport and headed over to the HQ! Diane and the 300 Petition gang are working their media magic downtown. Will post photos tomorrow.
I want to apologize again for mixing up the time and missing the radio show tonight. It was my fault and I’m really sorry.
Headquarters opens officially tomorrow at 10am (mountain time, mountain time, mountain time). It’s been over 8 years since I was in a different time zone and I still don’t quite get it.
Sleep tight All — and like I always say, Be wonderful to each other — now more than ever.

Sitting beside dances with pumas while mamapuma, patrick, and taffy unpack boxes of flyers and signs and set up laptops. Our Puma PAC HQ is humming. We are a half-mile from the Pepsi Center, right across the street from the Denver Police Headquarters. Dave, the world’s greatest landlord, had his guys washing our windows and glueing down the last pieces of carpet. The people of Denver must be the friendliest folks in the world.
I’ll post photos of the HQ later tonight.
Waiting for MP to arrive — Riverdaughter, Igor, and Jessi are on their way.
Will be updating this post often.
Be wonderful to each other.

At Puma PAC HQ, planning and preparing has reached fever pitch. The t-shirts, banners, signs, and water bottles have been shipped. The stage and equipment for Cheesman Park are reserved. Invitations to the Puma PAC Reception for Delegates and Media are being sent out today.
Patrick is making sure the bloggers will have internet access.
Ladyboomer is making sure the radio shows will have guests.
Igor is making sure everyone will be safe (not kidding!).
Jessi is making sure everyone will have posters and t-shirts.
Diane is making sure our Media and Delegate Outreach is a smashing success.
Riverdaughter is making sure everyone at home stays on top of the politics.
Brad and Lori are making sure everything is documented for posterity.
Saharra is making sure our Beautiful Protest and Rise is beautiful and inspiring.
John and Michele are making sure the delegates don’t lose their nerve.
Piper is making sure everyone is organized and focused.
Dana is making sure all our supplies arrive safe and sound in Denver.
Taffy is making sure we didn’t forget glue sticks.
MP is making sure no one goes crazy.
And dances is making sure of everything.
I’ll be away from computer for a few hours this morning — but not to worry. There should be a PROWL in your email boxes already, or very shortly. Keep contacting your state delegates today to make sure they know
Not sure about you, but I sense a shift in the wind. Is Ed Rendell’s plan to cast a real vote for Clinton on the first roll call just an expression of his desire for unity in the party? There couldn’t be a deeper meaning behind it could there be? I mean, it’s not like he’s an experienced politician or anything. No way could his announcement be a signal that all is not peachy keen in the Obama-DONC-SD Love Nest, right?
I mean, really, Obama is taking off! The guy is soaring in the polls; his performance at the Faith Forum on Saturday received unanimous raves; he continues to be a model of graciousness and charming modesty; small children look up to him; Ohio housewives send home-baked apple pies by the dozen to his headquarters in Chicago because the solid base of blue-state, middle class Democrats are just CRAZY about the guy; among college students Obama is more popular than Facebook; and everyone just LOVES Michelle — heck she’s turning out to be more charming, lovable, and admirable than Jackie, Ladybird, Betty, Rosalind, Abigail, and Eleanor all rolled into one — I bet Obama could win this thing simply on the grounds that his wife is such an American Treasure!
Howard Dean must feel like a true genius right now. Things couldn’t have gone better for the Democratic Party this year, and it’s all thanks to his leadership. Thanks a million Howie! I just KNEW we could win the White House this year for sure. EXCELLENT idea to tip the scales for an inexperienced, superficial, pandering, unaccomplished, unvetted candidate. That was such a great idea! Oh, and you’re right — Hillary Clinton still is a nasty old meany! It was BRILLIANT of you to let the sexist disdain for Clinton muddy the waters and make it more difficult for her to ever dare to wade back into the waters of national competition. Congratulations — you sure helped dock her ambitions and dreams — woo-hoo!
TODAY IS A NEW DAY PUMA PAC, Be wonderful to each other!
