2. Am much more interested in whether the audience will tell Obama they want a public option to compete

with private insurance--and what he says, in response.

7. He really has no

reason to be at a STATE convention. There are many more urgent FEDERAL matters to attend to.

8. What?

Of course he has a reason to come to the convention. We worked for him, sent him money and supported him big time. He didn't come before the election so he could at least come after the election. It's not nice to snub them what got ya there.

3. He needs to do town halls every few days, IMO. He needs to stir up the people so

that they'll DEMAND reform and a workable public plan from their reps when Congress recesses. They need to be inundated with cries for reform. It's the only way we'll get anywhere. If they think their cong. seats are in jeopardy you'll see some "reconsideration" of the public option.

5. Exactly. He's the one who said

"Change does not come FROM Washington, change comes TO Washington."

We must make our voices heard. Loudly.

6. I think CNN is going to cover this.

It should be interesting since the POTUS doesn't vet the questions.
