Click2Houston has a great story up about our hugely successful official Celebrate Obama Watch Party held last night at the Renaissance Hotel. We had an amazing turnout - it was truly an inspiring sight to see hundreds of Houston Democrats come out to raise the roof in support of the Obama-Biden ticket (and raise money for the Coordinated Campaign) and watch Senator Obama simultaneously make history, lay out his agenda, reinforce his call for change, and silence his detractors.

Thanks to the Stonewall Democrats for throwing the event!

As Day 3 begins for this year’s Democratic National Convention, Democrats are energized like never before. From Senator Ted Kennedy and Michelle Obama on Monday night, to the amazing and historic address last night by Senator Hillary Clinton, our convention is must watch TV.
The DNC has set up www.demconvention.com as a great resource to watch the convention live, view previous speeches, and access lots of behind the scenes information. The High Definition video definitely makes the convention come to life on your laptop.
Tonight, not only do we hear from former President Bill Clinton, but the nation will hear from our next Vice President, Senator Joe Biden. Tapped by Senator Barack Obama on Saturday to join him on the ticket, Senator Biden brings a wealth of foreign policy experience. He also helped author legislation to put more than 100,000 additional police on the streets, passed the Violence Against Women Act, corporate corruption bills, and anti-torture legislation.
Married to a teacher, Biden has three children, one of whom currently serves as the Attorney General of Delaware and will be deploying to Iraq in September to serve a tour of duty in the Army National Guard.
Biden was also the keynote speaker at the Harris County Democratic Party’s very first Johnson-Rayburn-Richards dinner in 1980. Let’s work hard for the Obama/Biden ticket and all Democrats up and down the ballot this fall!
