Cocktail hour is open. Please toast to a beautiful week.

With the beverage of your choice.

Mine is a little rye whiskey and water.

Revel in a wonderful week. But stay relatively sober because we've got to hit the streets tomorrow to seal the deal and bring this sucker home.

The DNC has done sufficient, even awesome, spade work. But that isn't going to complete the deal. Tomorrow we begin the long slog to November 6. But tonight we deserve a well earned celebration.

Sköl! My great DU friends. I love you all.



on edit: potable alcohol optional, of course.
Non-potable options may also exist.

...due to some medical issues (that I'm hopefully on the recovery end of), I'll toast with some milk right now.



One hell of a convention. If that doesn't get the base fired up, nothing will.

and when he said that he wouldn't turn Medicare into vouchers or turn Social security over to Wall Street...



To all of us -- after all, Obama didn't built it by himself!

Picked 'em and brewed it with good friends.
Over 500 gallons worth.

But lighter than rye whiskey.

Raise another glass?
