Netroots Nation: What would you ask Nancy Pelosi? Harry Reid?

by: Rosi Efthim

Sat Jul 24, 2010 at 10:23:19 AM EDT



Updated by Jason Springer: Here is the schedule of speakers and times. As I posted in the comments, they are streaming the Speakers live when they are on and you can see that here.

Hello from Las Vegas and Netroots Nation!

This morning, Vegas time, Speaker Nancy Pelosi will be here at NN10 to take questions from 2,000 bloggers here at NN10. Later today, Majority Leader Harry Reid shows up to do the same thing.

Got any questions you want us to ask? Can't guarantee we'll get the time at the microphone, but we'll try. Use Comments to post your question.

Reid's opponent - Sharron Angle - is also in Vegas, though I doubt she'd have the courage to walk through the halls here and take any of our questions, since she seems to specialize in dodging anybody's questions. Maybe Angle will feel more comfortable  tonight when she's the closing speaker at the Right Online conference, which each year follows Netroots Nation to whatever city it's in, and draws righty bloggers there. They're bigger than they were last year. Turnout's still less than half of Netroots Nation, but they're telling participants that Right Online now outstrips our size. Their big draws are Michele Bachmann, Angle, Curtis Sliwa.

Angle's their closer tonight. Al Franken closes Netroots Nation. We win.

More later.

Great stuff (0.00 / 0)
Thanks to you, what happens in Vegas, does not stay in Vegas. Would love to hear what Franken says. He's witty but also very smart and developing into an excellent senator.

Ask Reid if there are not ways to make immigration reform and "cap- and-trade" palatable to a few Republicans so that we can get these bills passed this session.

They are live streaming the keynote speakers and it tells you what time they are on...

Video streaming by Ustream

Who's got Pelosi questions? (0.00 / 0)
She's about to walk on the stage.

Good to see the Ustream up again. Reid's up at 6:00pm your time.

Speaker questions? Rep. Jan Schakowsky just introduced her.

It's not a particularly snappy signature, but here's what I think we need in the next NJ Democratic State Chair.

Obama on the screen (0.00 / 0)
"Change hasn't come fast enough for too many Americans.." That's Barack Obama in a video - to great applause - from the President to NN10.

And, this being a room of 2000 + progressive bloggers, when he showed clip (inside his video) of the Rachel Maddow Show showing accomplishments of the last couple years, Maddow got almost as big an ovation.

Keep up the fight. Change is hard, says the bottom. Comes from the bottom up, from the netroots. That's how he ended his vid.

Donna Edwards was just introduced - she's in the room


It's not a particularly snappy signature, but here's what I think we need in the next NJ Democratic State Chair.  


DADT, ENDA & dark chocolate (0.00 / 0)
Cheryl Contee of Jack & Jill Politics just read the first question, after pointing out both she and the speaker love dark chocolate.

First Q on ENDA - this is a very gay-friendly crowd. Pelosi asks help on getting not just a win, but "the biggest possible vote".  

It's not a particularly snappy signature, but here's what I think we need in the next NJ Democratic State Chair.  


Internet beastly slow again (0.00 / 0)
If the Ustream is up again, I'm going to shut the computer. Staring at the screen waiting for it to load is driving me nuts.  

It's not a particularly snappy signature, but here's what I think we need in the next NJ Democratic State Chair.  

Kitchen to Congress (0.00 / 0)
Pelosi just gave a big shout-out to women candidates, to know your power, and not accept being told that your path isn't good enough if your path is different from someone else's. She talked about her 5 kids, as her path from kitchen to Congress - "the organizational skill that took" - and thanked "supportive men in the audience".

She also said she hoped young women would run, that young women need to see young women in positions of power.  

It's not a particularly snappy signature, but here's what I think we need in the next NJ Democratic State Chair.
