I cannot tell you how amazing this speech was as I watched it with 400 or so Democrats last night at Amsterdam Bar in Atlanta. He even talked about gay rights in a way that made me so proud to be a Democrat.
In the blue heart of the Deep South lies Atlanta, a dot of mostly progressive thought in an ocean of red voters. I am an out, gay Episcopalian Democrat trying to live his life with as much integrity as possible. This blog is my attempt to comment on local, state and national political stories that capture my interst, happenings in the Episcopal Church of the United States and life in general.

Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-NY) addresses the DNC
Hillary Clinton shows why she was such a formidable candidate and why the Democrats' cup raneth over in this year's presidential primary. It was a shame that we had to pick one, but her speech shows the class, character, style, and intelligence that I love about Hillary... and that the Republicans never have understood and never will.

Governor Brian Schweitzer (D-MT) at the DNC
Some of you might have missed Gov. Schweitzer's folksy, fun, and brilliant performance at the DNC unless you are a C-SPAN watching nerd like me :)
Guys like this give me great hope that we can WIN this election despite all the nasty, negative, racist attacks the GOP will continue to throw at us.
