And great comments at the mtg - I was there to support Cam (who has done more for the GP than perhaps anyone else in town) and to my two cents about the ridiculous resolution.djrabbithttp://djrabbit.livejournal.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9143409168229764050.post-38107838897878001742009-06-07T09:59:07.515-05:002009-06-07T09:59:07.515-05:00If she isn't officially the campaign manager, ...If she isn't officially the campaign manager, she is at least acting as one.
