Live from Yakima: More Democrats Arriving

The convention center is humming with activity now: lots of delegates checking in, attending caucus meetings or trainings, and engaging in conversation.

I took a quick trip across town for lunch and to check into my hotel about an hour and a half ago. I just got back, and things are clearly getting busier.

A couple of TV news crews were here during the 11 o'clock hour getting State Democratic Chairman Dwight Pelz on camera to talk about the convention. Almost all of the lobby area is filled up with tables, either for delegate check-in, or stocked with merchandise and literature, or representing a particular candidate/campaign.

I'm off to a committee meeting now; I'll post again with another update shortly.
