Speakers and delegates swarm about the floor of the Grand Ballroom as an interchange of ideas and political beliefs murmur everywhere. TV cameramen and reporters are quick to find the speakers that just finished their pitch on stage. It's break time for the debate, and everyone is taking full advantage.
The political supporters of the Democratic delegates are not finished after their speech. Any view of the Ballroom is filled with representatives shaking hands and sharing their candidates’ views. Even a man dressed as Uncle Sam is patrolling the floor, is more than happy to share his reason for the top-hat and striped pants. "I am in support of the process, but if I had to choose one candidate I would choose one that would be an upgrade to my image," said Ken Mietus as he tugs on his white nylon beard. Mietus is a sociology professor at Western Illinois University, and doesn't fail to attract attention in while gloves and coattails.
It is great to see such discussion about the presidential election happening on such a scale. One can only hope that this will not fade when the banners and cameras come down.
