DPG leadership elections today!
UPDATE from sndeak - Jane Kidd is the new Chair of the DPG and Michael Thurmond is the Vice Chair. Sally Rosser is Vice Chair of CD and County Liaison. Virgilio Perez Pascoe is the new Constituency Chair. Winifred Dukes is the Candidate Search Chair.
At long last, the Democratic Party of Georgia leadership elections get underway at 1:00pm today in Atlanta at the IBEW Union Hall.
Several bloggers will be reporting in. Bernita will be live blogging here, Amy will be live blogging at Georgia Women Vote! and we might even see a post or two from GriftDrift playing the wry observer.
UPDATE from Shelby: cameraphoners feel free to send visual updates by MMS to gga07@cellblock.com.
Afterwards, please join the Young Democrats of Georgia (5:30ish???) at Manuel’s Tavern, 602 North Highland Avenue, Atlanta.
It's going to be a very exciting, but very long day. Best of luck and success to all the candidates!

I hear the breakfast with the DPG candidates went pretty well with everyone pledging to support the party, regardless of the outcome of the elections today.
It's a lively crowd. We just got done moving the tables and rearranging the chairs.
We've got Berlon buttons, Kidd and Jackson yardsigns. Literature being passed out...Just what we should expect.

sndeak, it was so good to meet you today and to be able to thank you in person for posting this, and for all your good work in recent weeks. I'm also happy to report our friend Will Curry was elected as the 5th Congressional District Chair! Congrats to Will, and to all the winners today.
Off to Manuel's now. Anyone who's reading this, come on out and join us.
