All over Texas this morning, Democratic county and senatorial conventions met to elect delegates to the Texas State Democratic Convention in June in Corpus Christi.  Juanita was the temporary secretary for her convention, so she was been swamped for the past three days getting all the paperwork ready.  She was delighted to turn over the convention paperwork to the new secretary and start having a life again.

The convention is over and, of course, Juanita and the gang are all going to the State convention.  Juanita’s senatorial district is one of the easiest to work with in the county, contrary to whatever wild story the “real” bloggers make up this time.  “I stay clear of the real bloggers,” Juanita warns, “because there’s a Texas adage that goes – never approach a bull from the front, a horse from the rear, or a fool from any damn direction.”

“We were sweeter than a grandmother’s kiss, elected all our delegates, passed all our resolutions, ate all the muffins and brownies as was our duty and finished before our sister convention in Sugar Land even got started,” Juanita reports.  “All the candidates came by and took a round of applause.  Here’s a picture of our new state representative, Ron Reynolds.  Ron has no Republican opponent in November but he’s not sitting as home biding his time.  He’s helping other Democrats.”

“Our spiffy new County Chair was there and riled up the crowd.  He’s running on a full tank and has a map.  We’re gonna get the blue promised land this November or my name ain’t Juanita.”

“I am going to the State Convention with 68 of my closest friends and the best folks around.”

Juanita is headed to Carl Whitmarsh’s birthday party this afternoon and then will get caught up on what’s happening at the other meetings.

UPDATE:  Carl Whitmarsh’s birthday was more fun than recess in heaven.  If you missed it this year, do not make that mistake again.  Everybody who is anybody was there!

And, Fort Bend’s SD13 went great and so did SD17 once they got rid of the Last Of The Crazy Ole Wimmen.  However, from 9:00 until 3:00, the L.O.T.C.O.W.  ran the meeting with an iron fist without allowing for food or breaks.  Hell, I think that violates the Geneva Convention, where even bread and water is allowed to prisoners.  They voted her out, got down to business instead of ego and got themselves a dandy delegation.

Our local candidates made the rounds and shined.
