After four hours of sleep

Our hotel doesn't have a space large enough to accommodate our group to have meals and meetings. So, they worked with local folks to erect a tent and feed all 84 delegates and the additional staff.

We're sitting in that tent outside our hotel enjoying a great breakfast and listening to Ohio Governor Ted Strickland talk about what success means to Democrats. You can tell he was a preacher. He remarked that upon driving up and seeing the tent that he got excited. He told his staff member "We're gonna have a tent revival today!"

We're getting the rest of the speech he wasn't able to deliver last night due to time constraints. I have to say, he's got our jet-lagged, tired butts out of our chairs multiple times at 8 in the morning!

I wish I had time to tell you everything he said but they've told us there's a surprise speaker and I gotta go!
