CDP Convention Begins Today

New platform and gearing up for the Presidential election is on tap in San Diego

by Brian Leubitz

I’m about to head down to San Diego for the annual installment of CDP convention madness. Or as I like to call it, a weekend with some fellow political nerds.

As you’ve probably read on these pages, there are some issues of party endorsements going on.  AD-50 (Bloom, Butler, Osborn) has been a very competitive fight, with legislators moving delegates into the district and accusations of club packing. And the bruising battle between the “-ermans”, Brad Sherman and Howard Berman, in CD-30 has meant that I’ve received more mail for a CDP convention than I ever thought possible.

Other notable events include the ratification of the state party platform.  The platform committee will be meeting all day today to nail down the wording, and you can drop on by to learn more.

I’ll be around all weekend, come find me and say hi!  I’ll be doing most of my updating 140 characters at a time, so follow my twitter account to get the latest updates.
