Lindsley Smith's report on Tuesday at the Democratic National Convention

It was another exhausting day, but filled with excitement. It started off with the Arkansas delegation having breakfast together. This morning, Senator Blanche Lincoln spoke to the delegation. Thereafter, we split up to go to various caucuses of interest. I attended the Women's Caucus and then all the delegates met up for lunch. I'm sure you are watching the convention and enjoying it. There were several wonderful speeches today, but the headliner was, of course, Senator Hillary Clinton. She gave a rallying-call speech that was motivational and uniting. Former Vice President Walter Mondale sat in front of me with the Minnesota delegation. Former President Bill Clinton sat in the balcony right above the Arkansas delegation. Hillary will be meeting with her Delegates tomorrow at 1:15 to advise us of her desires before the vote tomorrow afternoon/evening and likely continue to push for a unified voice for Senator Obama and for a stronger economy and healthcare for all.
