The main event for the 3 day-long DNC Meeting in Chicago was Saturday's General Session. The General Session brings together the full membership of the DNC to conduct the official business of the Democratic National Committee.

Phillip Murphy spoke briefly, and I was impressed with him. He is the DNC finance chair now. He travels the country mostly involved with larger donors. He said he was hearing great support for the national strategy being built by the party.


Governor Dean speaks with DNC Finance Chair Phil Murphy before the meeting begins.

While still preserving the first in the nation status of the Iowa Caucuses and New Hampshire Primary, the DNC opened the primary process up to two additional states, Nevada and South Carolina.

We believe this will better reflect the rich diversity of our Party. And, in addition to adding regional diversity to the process, we'll open up a dialogue that will engage a broader range of people to talk about a wider variety of issues. This will enable the Democratic Party to choose the strongest candidate to be our Presidential nominee.

Following this historic Rules vote, it was back to the speakers. Congressional Candidate Darcy Burner and Ohio Secretary of State Candidate Jennifer Bruner were up next. They both gave fantastic speeches. (They really were impressive)

Jesse Jackson's speech was very inspiring. Don't miss it.
