National Delegates Chosen

Actually, scratch that last line from the previous diary. The least I can do is let you know who the first wave (making up the bulk) of pledged delegates the Vermont Democratic Party will be sending to the National Convention in Denver this August will be:

Obama delegates:
Rachel Weston
Carolyn Dwyer
Daria MonDesire
Arshad Hasan
Taylor Bates
Philip Baruth
Alternates: Michael Gaffney & Mary Sullivan

Clinton delegates:
Madeleine Kunin
Don Hooper
Michael Pieciak
Beth Robinson
Alternate: Nancy Richardson

What's really fascinating is the average age of the Obama delegates, which is quite a bit lower than the crowd Vermont Dems usually send to these things. Philip is the old man of the bunch (and newcomer Taylor Bates is still in high school!)

What a great delegation! (4.00 / 1)

As a delegate, I got all the campaign materials and listened to all the speeches from the Obama candidates, and I can attest that we had a lot of great candidates to choose from. Vermont Democrats can be proud of the delegation we're sending to Denver.

It was tough (0.00 / 0)

There were a couple of friends I had to vote for, because I had promised, but for the others, I truly agonized over the choices.

There were so many really, really good candidates. It's a shame there isn't a way to just send everyone, even if they don't get to vote.
