DLC Fellowship Program -- Washington, DC

I'm here in DC for 24 more hours for a whirlwind DLC fellowship program. I'm part of the inaugural class of the centrist Democratic Leadership Council fellows, and this is the last session in the three year program (posts from 2007 in Little Rock, 2008 in New Orleans). DLC CEO Bruce Reed is now calling us to order, and we're about to hear from Ron Klain, Biden's Chief of Staff. Since the president is in Asia, his boss is running the country today.

Most of this class of 26 is made up of state legislators and county executives/mayors, although we have a couple who are running for higher office, including former Colorado Speaker Andrew Romanoff, who's running for the U.S. Senate.
