Bonior, Wexler to Represent Obama at FL/Mi
Meeting

post from TalkLeft on 29 May 2008 11:46:00 PM. © TalkLeft

The Detroit Free Press reports that former Congressman and campaign manager for John Edwards, David Bonior and FL Rep. Robert Wexler will argue for Barack Obama at the Florida Rules and Bylaws Committee meeting Saturday.

Who is arguing for Hillary? The article doesn't say.

The hearing is televised and BTD and I will be live-blogging from our respective locations while TalkLeft commenter (and attorney) BackFromOhio will be TalkLeft's credentialed blogger at the meeting and live-blogging on scene.

Should be a big day, I hope you'll join us.

Cristina’s version… not so much. In fact, they sued her and her husband’s record company, Ze, when it came out in 1980. It was taken [...]
