Like Joyce, I attended the DNC Regional Caucus in St. Louis. Unlike Joyce, I was not a "media rep" from MyDD or any other traditional or non traditional media organization, but went just as an interested Democrat (by the way, I had no problem doing so--I just emailed Corey of the Missouri Dems about my interest in attending and she put me on the list). My impressions were somewhat different than Joyce's--and perhaps more focused on the structural issues rather than just the contest for DNC chair. And while I was tremendously impressed with Howard Dean's presentation, I remain concerned about how well his reputation (be it fairly or unfairly acquired) would play in my state (Kansas) or my congressional district (represented by moderate Democrat Dennis Moore). I've put an in-depth report in the extended entry.
