Breakfast of Champions
Posted by tzannos@bostonworks.com">Svetlana Husseini at 10:58 AM -

Every morning, the delegations have a breakfast meeting in their hotels where they use the prior evening's momentum to energize the sleepy crowd, review the schedule for today, and listen to speakers. 

The NY Delegation, the second largest delegation, is staying in the Park Plaza.  On Wednesday morning, wearing my 'guest of the NY delegation pin',  I thought I was so cool as I entered the ballroom.  However, to be 'cool' was to have gone to last night's Creative Coalition party. 

The breakfast, as far as political breakfasts go, was a great experience.  I sat with delegates and other guests and we listened to James Carville, Sheldon Silver, Barack Obama, Hilary Clinton, and other democratic party stars shine in the morning with no cameras to play to.  Just similar messages of party unity, swing state support, and democratic party domination come November were touted.

I think it was James Carville said that the line up of speakers at breakfast was a line up that challenged the Yankee ball club.  I think there is a nation out there, a Red Sox Nation, that would have like to debated that comment with CNN's Crossfire host.
