Every morning at the DNC, each state delegation holds breakfast meetings in their respective hotels. The Illinois delegation is currently assembled in a conference room in the basement of the Marriott in downtown Denver. The room is full of Democratic Illinois politicians: Speaker Michael Madigan, Chicago Mayor Richard Daley, Lt. Gov. Pat Quinn, Reps. Jan Schakowsky, Phil Hare, and Bill Foster, Senate President Emil Jones, State Treasurer Alexi Giannoulias, Cook County Board President Todd Stroger, as well as congressional candidates Debbie Halvorson and Jill Morgenthaler. Numerous state legislators and Chicago aldermen are also in attendance. Here's a pic of the mingling during breakfast:
And here, without a doubt, is the picture of the day:
The breakfast is over and the program is underway. After speeches by Daley, Schakowsky, International President Laborers President Terry O'Sullivan, Dan Hynes is currently addressing the audience. We'll have video from the event later today.
