Chicago Takes Center Stage at Convention

The opening day of the Democratic Convention in Denver couldn't have more Chicagoans in the lineup if Mile High Stadium was host to a Cubs-Sox Doubleheader. They're all there: Lisa Madigan, Alexi G., Dan Hynes and even Chicago City Clerk Miguel DelValle. All were on hand to grab their moment in the national Democratic spotlight and give roaring endorsements to the Obama/Biden ticket as the week of roaring endorsements gets under way. It was great to see DelValle gain some national attention because he so widely respected as a politician who is "in" and "of" the community. There will be plenty to come, but it's a nice way to start off.
