[quote=UCGal][quote=bearishgurl][quote=briansd1] . . . I love political conventions. There an energy about them. My first one was when Bob Dole was in San Diego. I was invited to a party back then and I love it even though I didn’t agree with the Republican crowd.[/quote]
My favorite times in politics were at SD “Election Central” in Golden Hall where many candidates would rent rooms for their parties for their campaign people and contributors. Some rented rooms in an adjacent hotel. Hopping from party to party until the wee hours of the morning was nothing less than exhilarating![/quote]
My mom worked for the Registrar of Voters and used to to run the Election Central as part of her job duties. Golden Hall, Kona Kai, and a few other venues. I remember sneaking into some great parties in high school. Lots of booze. If my mom ever knew why I was willing to go get the civics lessons on those nights. LOL.[/quote]
Hope you were able to get some “HS credits” out of your “civics lessons,” UCGal!
