| Last year, the convention was down the hill from my front door, and it was the first or second time I had met many of the bloggers and activists from around the state. This year, in my first hour in the Convention Center I was happy to see again dozens of fellow bloggers, candidates, activists and friends from every corner of the state.
The growing community is fantastic, but I'm sure that the growing list of disclaimers raises some questions. Workings within the system has long been established as the preferred tactic, and I'm energized by the possibilities. The growth and nuance and personal relationships are encouraging as we head into today's activities. |
