The Texas Democratic Convention starts this week in beautiful, downtown Houston, Texas.  We have arranged for some gorgeous weather for our delegates – 99 degrees with 100% humidity.

I’ll be there tomorrow to help stuff the goodie bags and things get really rolling on Friday.  Yes, I am running for national delegate – if I win, it will be my first national convention.  And now that Brian and Fenway Fran have already been elected, the pressure is on. I’m in Senate District 18.

I’ll be blogging and Tweeting from the convention.  If you plan to attend, I will be giving a nominating speech from the main podium on Saturday.  Come meet me!

I need a couple of good Romney / dog on the roof of the car jokes if you have any ideas.  I’ve already got plenty of Rick Perry jokes, thank you very much.

I’ll post the speech here after I give it but no previews – I do not want to speak to an empty room.
