Congressman Tom Allen (ME-01,) who's running for senate against Susan Collins next year, will be addressing the Maine College Democrats Convention tomorrow and this video they made I think perfectly captures what's at stake in 2008.

Nice work. Who says the youth aren't mobilized?

Speaking of which, I'm excited to be attending the  American Democracy Institute's Empower Change conference at UCLA tomorrow. Bill Clinton will be the featured speaker at the event, which will focus on, as ADI's mission statement puts it:

engaging, educating and empowering a new generation of Americans that will expand the circle of opportunity, equality and justice.

I'm not sure yet if I'll have wireless in the hall but look for my coverage of the Big Dog and the rest of the conference at some point over the weekend.
