Hey, tonight I was in Redwood City at an event called Unity Day, sponsored by radio station, Green 960. Thom Hartmann (yes, that one!) and Angie Coiro led a panel discussion, and I was the Obama national convention delegate on the panel! There was one Clinton delegate that came, Laura Spanjian, who had agreed to be on the panel beforehand. I had called and discussed the event with John Scott, the program director, on Wednesday. But I had no idea how many delegates were going to be there. Only after I arrived and introduced myself in person to John Scott was I asked to be on the panel. They wanted the panel to be balanced, so they went with one Obama delegate and one Clinton delegate.
So basically, Thom Hartmann asked Laura and myself some interesting questions for almost an hour. It was not about rehashing the past, but rather looking forward to where we go as Clinton and Obama supporters together. There were about 300 people there I'd say. It was not broadcast on air, but it was videotaped for the station to put on their website, Green960.com. It's not there on the site now, but check it in the next day or so. I'll post the link when it becomes available. Aside from my saying at one point that Hillary would make a much better president than Bush (DUH!!) and later searching for the word "vulnerable" and not finding it, I thought it went very well. What a thrill that I had not expected!
