Dateline: San Diego, California. After I finished my first day running around the 2007 California Democratic Party in my red platform heels, I was ready for some fun. I've been told the Young Democrats really know how to hootenanny. I'm not sure what that means, but it sounded like a hoot to me. So I got dressed up and headed out for the action. I was surprised by what I found. Note to self: Political parties aren't all about the par-tay.
