Democratic Party county convention moved
Local supporters of Sens. Barack Obama and Hillary Rodham Clinton will need to make at least one change on their calendar for March 29 after the location for the county Democratic convention has been changed.
The McLennan County Democratic Party Convention will be held at the Waco Convention Center because of higher than normal attendance because of high interest in the presidential nomination contest between Obama and Clinton.
The convention was previously scheduled to take place at the Waco High School cafeteria, which could hold a maximum of 500 people, said John Cullar, McLennan County Democratic Party chairman. It has been moved to the convention center’s McLennan Hall, which should accommodate the 900 to 1,200 people expected to participate, he said.
Convention delegates and alternates selected at precinct caucuses are urged to arrive when the doors open at 11 a.m. to allow enough time for everyone to be signed in by the time the convention is scheduled to start at noon.

I suppose the real reason for moving to the Convention center is to not interfere with the drug dealers around WHS some of those bad boys carry guns.

The democratic party should just dig a hole and get in it. Half wit vs. Half “n”
