An update from National Delegate Steve Mercado

Hi Everyone!

I wanted to stick with a blog that I've written with already so here I am!

Here's a quick review, don't want to take up too much space.

The convention is incredible! The first night on Sunday I had attended the New Orleans Bash and had a blast! The first night of the convention on Monday was very emotional. All the speeches, including Michelle Obama's sppech, moved us all....

I have to hand it to Hillary Clinton, she gave a great unifying speech last night. I talked with Hillary supporters from Texas and they we're moved to follow in her lead and support Barack Obama as President of the United States. She made it clear in her speech that by putting your support behind Barack Obama, you will be supporting values that are close to her and the Democratic party that she has worked for all of her life, which was key to what needed to be said.

It was really great to hear from Gov. Kathleen Sebelius as well! Oh, and I've taken great pictues with different people, including Howard Dean!

I went to the Young Democrats Caucus yesterday and got influenced from so many young leaders from across the country, I will be bringing back some very valuable information, and I'm looking forward to the next one tomorrow afternoon before the acceptance speech from our next President.

Well, that's all for now. Thank you all so much for your support in getting me here and know that I'm bringing back tons and tons of stuff for all the counties across the state of Idaho!

I'm having the time of my life, better run so I can make it to some more Young Democrat events.

Peace from Denver

Holla, Steve! Thanks so much for posting here. Wow, it sounds like you are having a great time. I can't imagine what it must be like to be there witnessing history firsthand. Well, I can, a little, thanks to all the posts and pix coming out of Denver.

That's great news about the Texas delegates. (Isn't Idaho seated near Texas now?)

Hey, if you have time to email me a few of your pix (up to a dozen or so), I can put 'em in a slideshow and post 'em here. Or you can do it when you get home. I usually use slide.com.

Have fun! We await the big roll call this afternoon and two more great nights of Democratic testifying!
