What an incredible way to start the Democratic convention. Between Ted Kennedy's blockbuster heroic speech and Michelle Obama's heartfelt remarks about faith and family, Democrats left the PepsiCenter fired up.

Sacramento and California played key parts. Both Congresswoman Doris Matsui and Speaker Nancy Pelosi had starring roles. I also saw Senator Barbara Boxer and several other Members of Congress in the house, along with our local delegates.

Kim Mack, who I've worked with on the Obama campaign, was on hand in a tie-dyed Obama t-shirt while other Obama-ites from Sacramento also are volunteering in venues around the city.

Tomorrow I kick off the day with education leaders and Newark Mayor Cory Booker. It should be another great day in Denver.
