Joel, OFA co-coordinator for Central Florida, conducted voter registration training at the OCDEC meeting last night. The assembled Dems then took the requisite quiz and signed the affidavit qualifying them to register voters under the more stringent registration rules put in place by the Republican-controlled Florida legislature in 2011. Great teamwork between the local Democrats and the Obama campaign, which is taking the lead on voter registration!
Now, the not so much. At the start of the meeting, candidates for Orlando City Mayor hammered each other. A major point of contention was the endorsement of a Republican by a Democratic officeholder.
The Cookie Monster comes to the rescue. I bought a box of Girl Scouts shortbread cookies from a beautiful young girl who set up shop outside the meeting hall. The box did not make it out of the building. As the meeting passed the 2-hour mark, I shared the cookies with Anna, Ida, Joe and my other fellow Dems to reverse a dangerous drop in blood sugar. Next time, I'll pack a lunch.
