DEL.ICIO.USOn tap today for Georgia
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Denver — With breakfast over, Georgia’s delegates are picking up their credentials and then most of them have a little free time until it’s “gavel down” at the Pepsi Center at 3 p.m. (5 p.m. back in Atlanta).
But not everyone has time to rest. Coming up at 12:30 p.m. here, Atlanta Mayor Shirley Franklin and Georgia Labor Commissioner Michael Thurmond will participate in a DNC Black Caucus panel discussion entitled, “Urban Renewal: Quality Education and Job Creation.”
DNC Chairman Howard Dean and U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) are also on the panel. It’s from 12:30 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. in the Wells Fargo Theater, a few blocks from the Pepsi Center.
Once everyone is settled in the convention hall itself, Georgia’s big moment will come sometime before 7 p.m. when former President Jimmy Carter speaks. The folks running this shindig are not giving a lot of details on timing, so somewhere in that four-hour window the man from Plains will talk.
