It's 12:30 a.m. I have just finished packing my clothes. I have way more than I would normally. I have no idea what a delegate should wear. I can't see myself as the guy with the campaign t-shirt and a million buttons pinned to me; there will be plenty of others to fill that role. I have packed nice and casual clothes and will make a game-time decision on that one.
It has just been confirmed on national news and on the Obama campaign's website that Senator Joe Biden is Senator Obama's choice for a running mate. For those who have kept up with my blog, you know that I had predicted Sen Bayh of Indiana would be chosen. I guess this means I'm not the political genius I thought I was.
I am sure the selection of a Vice Presidential runningmate is a difficult one. The Obama campaign seems to be getting good reaction from the mainstream media right now, but it's late at night and the media will have plenty of time to find holes in Obama's choice and soon to be McCain's choice as well.
I continue to recieve invites to socials and parties. Today, I received an invite for a concert from Gavin Newsome, the mayor of San Francisco and Hillary Clinton for an exclusive reception. It should be quite interesting.
Once I'm in Denver, I will blog about the energy and feel of the city.
Until next time...

Erik: Have a great time. What an exciting experience. I look forward to hearing about all the details. We may have to have you as a guest speaker during our Constitution unit. :) Safe travels and the school will still be standing when you return (we hope). Enjoy every minute.

Erik,
I just read several entries on your blog and am so excited for you. What a great experience. Thanks for sharing it with me via the web. I look forward to hearing your many stories when you return to Union.
Have fun!

Hi Erik:
If I were you, I would attend as many events/parties/receptions as you are physically able to. This is truly a unique opportunity so you need to ride the wave! I love politics regardless of the party so I am jealous of you in a good way :) Have an incredible time.
