Buckley stresses speaker diversity
By Brian Lawson, PolitickerNH.com ReporterDENVER--Being a delegate from New Hampshire did have its advantages this year. Invitation-only parties, free breakfast, gifts galore and hearing speeches from prominent Democratic leaders.
New Hampshire Democratic Party Chairman Ray Buckley said he was amazed by the diversity of the speakers that spoke before the delegation.
"Think about the diversity of our speakers. The Hispanic mayor of Los Angeles, the governor of Iowa, the female governor of Arizona, the majority whip/senator from Illinois, the congressman from Texas," Buckley said."That is amazing!"
This week delegates heard from Mayor Antonio Villagarosa, Gov. Chet Culver, Gov. Janet Napolitano, U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin and U.S. Rep. Chet Edwards.
Buckley credited the party's political director with arranging the speakers.
"Michael did a great job obtaining the diverse and talented leaders for our delegation events."

Quote of the Day
“In this era of crisis, it is important that all Americans step up in service to our country. In these next five years, the leading national issues will surely be the creation of new jobs, the economy, finance and financial regulation, energy, the environment, infrastructure and foreign policy,” Bestani said in a press release. “I have been privileged to have had a thirty-five year career which has given me high level experience in each of these complex fields. I think I would be remiss if I did not come forward and once again offer to serve our country.”
