The Dallas County, sector of the 9th Senatorial Convention caucused t0gether with Tarrant and Denton Counties in Austin yesterday at the Austin Convention Center.

Delegate sign in that morning had gone well and all in all it was a very good meeting of the unified Democratic electorate from our district.

Unfortunately we were not able to finish our "assigned" tasks in the 2 hour allotted time frame and we had to re-convene after the general assembly concluded at 9:30. After selecting District 9 representatives to the various convention committees, we elected our male and female SDEC committee persons. Each of our incumbents were challenged and Marvin Sutton, from Tarrant County was defeated by Kennedy Barnes of Denton County, but our own Susan Culp retained her place as the 9th Senatorial District representative. Our delegates to Denver are, for Barack Obama, Fatima Biviji as the female and Marvin Sutton as the male. The Hillary delegation was to appoint one person, either male or female and the vote was overwhelmingly for our club president, Katy Hubener. I was able to get back to my hotel room by 2:30AM and was asleep by 3:30AM. Since the convention didn’t resume until 11:00AM, I was able to sleep in until about 8:30.

Hillary Clinton had already notified all of her delegates in an emailed letter that she was discontinuing her campaign and was encouraging all of them to work for a unified party behind Barack Obama.

It looks like Barack Obama will be our next President!
