During her speech to the Texas State Democratic Convention, Chelsea Clinton confirmed that her mother, Sen. Hillary Clinton, will formally endorse Illinois Sen. Barack Obama in a speech tomorrow.

Okay, so it’s obvious that I’m not a professional journalist, because I obviously didn’t explain what the heck I was talking about with all the “convention” talk.

Regular readers of the blog probably know that Bernie Scheffler and I were elected delegates to the Texas State Democratic Convention in Austin, which is going on right now. (Actually, as I type this, U.S. Representative Al Green (D-Houston) is giving a speech introducing and in praise of U.S. Senate Candidate Rick Noriega.)

SO, now that I can post from my iPhone (and annoy you all wirelesly from wherever I am), you’ll be getting updates occasionally from me and Bernie. Hopefully it’ll be almost like you’re here with us!

(If you ARE here with us, we hope you have a great time and that we get a chance to meet you!)

Bernie and I leave the hotel to find breakfast after a night of drinking with my brother-in-law, and who do we run into? Our Fort Worth City Councilman, Joel Burns, his partner, J. D. Angle, and Fort Worth’s own ink-stained journo, Bud Kennedy, sharing a table but not their migas con hongos, at Las Manitas on Congress.

It’s 9:40 on a Saturday night, and Bernie and I are sitting in the Will Rogers Coliseum waiting for the Convention results to be announced. Did you attend? Are you still here?

This is an open thread for y’all to share your stories and impressions from the convention! Let ‘er rip!
