State Convention Slated for Saturday

Little Rock

Hey, kids, you know what happens Saturday? The Democratic State Convention! We know you're excited. We are, too, as we're going for the first time—even though it means having to go to Little Rock.* We've no vote thanks to our wishy-washy ways, but hey: should be interesting, right? Everybody vying for one of precious few national delegate slots. We've found it rather fascinating, actually, these campaigns behind the campaigns, particularly in regards to the different ways those fighting for a national delegate slot have reached out to the state delegates. One such candidate reached out to us through Facebook, while a retired lawyer in Ft. Smith sent an actual, typewritten letter. Anyway, we're gonna see about live-blogging from the convention since we've no vote. At the very least, expect a full report and photographs sometime early next week.

*At least we get to stop at Feltner's on the way down—and maybe on the way back, too.
