Eternal vigilance.
Special thanks to the delegates traveling down to Austin for the Texas state convention this weekend. I visited with a friend who's been volunteering with the Obama campaign, and she told me that Clinton supporters have been crashing the Obama organizational meetings here in Fort Worth. How does she know?
When she was checking people in for the meeting, on more than one occasion she couldn't find someone's name on the list. She checked for alternate spellings, etc., and then finally suggested that the person was in the wrong district. And more than one person looked sheepish and finally said, "Do you think it's because I'm a Clinton supporter?"
These folks were let into the meeting (to promote party unity, I suppose) and then proceeded to stand up and recommend themselves for various committee positions and, of course, national delegate slots. My pal said they didn't say they were Obama supporters, but they didn't let on that they were for Clinton, either.
Anyway, Texas state delegates--be vigilant, and know who you're voting for. Again, thanks for making this commitment for us.
