illusionofjoy | Lunch break at the Democratic Platform Committee Meeting

I have a few minutes to write a quick update since I finally managed to secure myself a wifi connection downtown. The Democratic Party is currently having their Platform Committee Meeting at the David L. Lawrence Convention Center. I've looked through the draft of the party platform for 2008 and it looks good, however, there is nothing about reforming the primary process. Word has it that there is an amendment in play to get primary reform language into the document.

Suffice it to say that, thus far, there has been a lot of boring parliamentary procedure bantered about and little has changed in regards to the actual draft of the document (not that much of it needs to be changed, but primary reform is a big deal, seeing as how over half the party did not vote for Obama).

I get two hours of free wifi time on downtown Pittsburgh's network. I'll see if I can write anymore updates as the day wears on. I'll definitely write a full report when I get home this afternoon/evening.
