1. Why is Dean not showing up to meet Cindy and Professor Konishi from

Hiroshima in Crawford, on Saturday?

The 60th anniversary of dropping the "bomb".

The 30th anniversary of pulling out of Vietnam.

The 20th anniversary of Vets for Peace.

2. He's had the Hispanic Leadership Conference planned for months

I'm in San Antonio this weekend for the conference and we knew he would be in S.A. since the DNC is one of the sponsors. The summit has been planned for months. It's not a drop in visit. He's on the schedule for a good part of the day on Saturday. Community building in Texas and in the Latino community is one thing we wanted Dean and the DNC to do, and they're doing that.

I'm sure if he had time he would try to make both the Crawford and Hiroshima Day remembrance ceremony. I would love to do that as well. I helped with the Hiroshima Day event here in Austin, and I can't even be here for that.

I need a clone too.

6. "There will soon be a Hispanic governor in the state of Texas"

... Howard Dean, chairman of the Democratic National Committee, told the more than 400 party leaders attending the third Hispanic Leadership Summit. "There are people sitting in this room who will run for governor."

*snip*

The summit was designed to collect feedback from the party's Hispanic supporters and help shape a new marketing campaign this fall. Democratic organizers hope to map out a key message that reflects historically Democratic values such as social justice and equal opportunity, as well as issues that need greater publicity, such as family and patriotism.

*snip*

Issues such as public education, health care, voting rights and immigration protection should continue to be party priorities, they said. The challenge will be relating that platform to the lives of an increasingly diverse Latino population, said U.S. Rep. Charlie Gonzalez of San Antonio.

Dean's message to the summit included a call for a "new partnership" among minority groups, because, he said, they will become the majority population nationally within a few decades.
