Tue, 08/26/2008 - 11:45
Cross-posted at Asian Americans for Obama by APAP board member Ramey Ko:

Today was the first "official" day of the Democratic National Convention.  It's going to be hard to put the entire exhilarating yet exhausting experience into words, so I'll try to keep my comments brief and let my photos do most of the talking.

Ashwin Madia: "It's time for a little more bravery in Washington"

Thu, 08/21/2008 - 06:11
Cross-posted from Daily Kos. Thanks to Populista for the use of his code! Today is Ashwin Madia Blog Day and so as a supporter from pretty much the day the primary field settled. I thought I'd post a little bit about why I've been part of Madiamania for so long. It shouldn't be two hard because two blogs today, Ashin's in The Hill and Howie Klein's on DownWithTyranny, have spelled out my main reason pretty well. I've supported Ashwin Madia since the start beacuse he has courage.
