Argentina Represents the World at the 2008 Democratic National Convention!In the next couple of days, until the end of the month, yanquimike.com.ar will redirect to our Special Convention Edition that will provide me some badly needed ease of connectivity to report back to you from the 2008 Democratic National Committee ...where yer humble blogger was selected to represent every Democrat Abroad on the planet.
If I haven't well explained that particular honor or the way it was bestowed on this blog... forgive me; I still can't quite believe it so I probably haven't given you a good description of it.
Fact of the matter is: a few months ago this blog was chosen from among the finest expat blogs in the world (and believe me, some of them are my heros) to represent Democrats Abroad from the floor of the convention as part of DNC Chairman Howard Dean's experiment of placing a blogger with every delegation from every US State, possession, and territory. Democrats Abroad holds the same status within the Democratic Party as the aforementioned ...so we get one too ...and I'm it.
It's been a crazy busy month so I still have lots of little details to wrap up ...but we're gettin' there.
I'll be tremendously wired to you all for the entire convention week... including a US cell phone number (720-878-1918) that you can call at ANY TIME WHATSOEVER ...for brickbats or bouquets or just to make sure that I'm covering what you would like see and read.
Likewise, your comments or emails to letters@yanquimike.com.ar will get your message across.
Should be lots of pictures and video and text as I wander the Great Hall and the environs of Denver in any case ...but I would LOVE your input/feedback. So gimme!
Look for the "redirect message" soon. Wish me luck.

That's so cool Mike that you were chosen to blog for Democrats all over the world!
I was wondering, can the Democrats Abroad petition for more delegates, 11 seems low given the amount of party members living outside of the country.

Best of luck, Mike. I'm telling the Australian DAs of your site, and am looking forward to being plugged in through your good offices.
