Is it true the candidates for chair only get 5 minutes to speak......

[madfloridian]

to the party folks in Florida Saturday? Is this really true? That is a long drive for 5 minutes to see Dean. It is in Orlando.

Isn't the job more important than that? Don't they deserve more time than that?

3. So is this a national DNC event?

Or will similar activities take place in other states? This sounds important.

4. It is not listed at DNC or Florida Dem site. Nothing at all.

Who knows what it is? The Florida website is hardly updated for much at all. It used to be better.

I got the mailing from the local DEC committeewoman, our DFA leader.

It was just the schedule, not the name of the event. Could it be the state convention? If so, why is it not listed at the Florida Democratic site?

5. ASDC sounds national. Colorado only has a handful of the

DNC reps, so I'll bet that there are going to be DNC folks from around the country at that meeting.

Wait a minute!

Yes, I'm sure that's what it is. Now that you mention it, I remember that this meeting was mentioned at our last meetup.

I can't believe I forgot.
