Democratic State Convention - Part 2

Andre Carson leads off the convention by making a grand entrance with some rap music in the background - not something you hear at most political events but it was kinda cool. Next there was some mundane business to go through and then the nominee for the Superintendent of Public Intstruction, Richard Wood, spoke.
Some guy in the crowd keeps playing a cowbell when each speaker is introduced. Every time I hear it I have to laugh because all I can think of is the classic SNL Blue Oyster Cult skit - MORE COWBELL.
Next came an extremely effective campaign video giving a bio on Linda Pence, nominee for attorney general. The video talked about her career fighting big oil companies and polluters. Whoever made that video should be doing more of that for all the candidates. Pence comes out and tells everyone she’s a tireless and relentless worker and will continue to do that for the citizens of Indiana. She tells the crowd she prosecuted greedy corporate executives who stole from American investors. She emphatically adds “I put them behind bars!”
Unfortunately I have to leave early but you can check out Left in Aboite and Left of Centrist for more convention coverage.
