Alaska Democratic Conference Post 6 - Delegate Candidates

The delegate candidates are going up and giving 10 second speeches on why the others should send them to the Democratic National Convention in Denver. The video gives you a sense of what things are like right now. There are lots and lots of candidates. Kay Brown just told me there were 265 to start with, but many have withdrawn or just aren't here and are being dropped from the ballot. But it does seem to indicate the excitement here that so many people have signed up to be among the 18 delegates to go.



I'm saving this next video at higher quality, so the download will take a bit longer. People are still telling the convention why they should be chosen to be one of the delegates. The last candidate - Zipkin - just did her talk and now the very last one, a write-in candidate who was accidentally left off the ballot.

You might also what to check the ADN blog, Sean Cockerham is across the table writing.
