LIVE from Denver: Cantwell speaking now
Senator Maria Cantwell has just taken the stage as part of the U.S. Senate Democratic women's presentation, to speak briefly about the need to end our addiction to fossil fuels and begin the switch to renewable energy sources.
Cantwell had difficulty beginning her speech due to the loud cheering from the Washington State section. She smiled, acknowledged the Evergreen State's delegates, and proceeded to condemn the Bush/McCain approach to energy.
New leadership is needed, Cantwell says. A new President is needed.
"Let's elect Barack Obama... [a man] with a vision for a new energy future for America," Cantwell declared to applause.
UPDATE: The Senators have just left the stage together to the strains of "Sisters Are Doing it For Themselves" by the Eurythmics.

Cool! Good work Andrew! I have moved my operation to the quieter Tattered Cover bookstore. I grabbed some Happy Hour goodies and got a free copy of Arianna's book.
Going to enjoy some sun before settling in later to watch the Hillary Clinton circus. I'm sure everything will turn out just fine at the end of the roll call tomorrow and the pundits will have to knock it off (but they'll think of something else)
Hooray for Cantwell! Glad we live in WA.
Darn - I didn't get home in time to catch the speech. Thanks so much for posting a recap!
