Opening the floor to nominations
Wait! First the pledge!

OK, the real call for nominations
So far we have John DeStefano and Martin Looney nominated -- we are doing this in gender categories for some reason...

Jen Just is nominated
A big cheer goes up from the Woodbridge aisles -- and the rest of the
room, too!

Closing nominations now
Toni Walker is nominated, then some other guy [who turns out to be Allen Page], then Jerry Weiner (with another big cheer!)

Voting now
After Roger moves to close nominations, we've ended up approving everyone but the alternate (the only slot with more than one nominee) -- and we're voting with paper ballots for just that slot now...
-posted by Sheila Mc7 @ 7:53 PM
Jen prepares to take the stage
As we count the ballots for alternate, time for a few brief words...

Talking Obama
Jen talks about all the hard work everyone has put in so far on the Obama campaign, and then speaks to the heart of the night: "I've been working in the world I want to believe exists... Barack can make it happen!"
-posted by Sheila Mc7 @ 7:59 PM
And that's a wrap -- we have our delegation to Denver!
Once all the paper ballots are tallied, Jerry wins 118 to 62 -- and we're done now.
