Oh, What a Night!

Oh, What a Night!

Only the words of the Frankie Vallie classic capture the rush I felt last night at the Livingston County Democratic Party 25th annual Winans' Dinner.

We had a great crowd. No more jokes about Livingston County Democrats meeting in phone booths, please.

And we had a tremendous speaker -- UAW President Ron Gettelfinger, who let everybody know that he, the UAW, and the Democratic Party care about all working people, not just union members.

Several news organizations turned out to cover Gettelfinger, as shown by the news conference captured in the accompanying photo.

We'll have more coverage to come, but in the meantime, you can catch traditional media's coverage.

The Ann Arbor News stressed on-going strike negotiations. Local Michigan television did the same.

And so did The Associated Press coverage, which showed up many places:

International Herald Tribune.
Minnneapolis Star-Tribune.
San Francisco Chronicle.
Lexington Herald Leader.
Boston Herald.
Toledo Blade.
Yahoo News.

Gettelfinger had a lot more to talk about than local strikes. That's why we can't depend on just traditional media to find out about Democratic politics. Check back for more soon!
