Fun bits from the Daily Koss coverage of the California Democratic Party's annual conference:But then Edwards spoke in support of the Iraq war and all hell broke loose. The entire convention hall resonated in boos, the crowd chanting "no war! No war!" It was an amazing sight, and Edwards seemed a bit taken aback. Jerome thought it looked like '68. Edwards recovered with a line about Ashcroft, but the damage was done. The 20 or so brave souls waving Edwards signs were suddenly radioactive.
And on the Dean speech:
But the most amazing part was the finale, with a fiery Dean pounding the podium:
I want my country back!
I don't want to listen to fundamentalist preachers anymore!
When Dean uttered this last line, the whole place went nuts. Utter pandemonium.... Note, of course, that CDP crowds probably don't track with the viewpoints of a majority of voters. Even democratic voters. Still.
Some of us here on the left coast are pissed off! I can only hope it's catching.
