Hi everybody! Here are the pictures from Saturday, I took more pictures today than all of the other days combined, but most of them ended up by the wayside, there are also a bunch of ones that I choose not to put up because... well... there's just too much. But here is a pretty good sampling of Saturday at yearlykos 2006, if you like these, please recommend 'em and comment, i'll answer as soon as I can!
So let's kick this off with the guy who, for many of us, kicked things off, DNC Chair Howard Dean. Our morning keynote speaker:
His speech was fiery and awe inspiring, I got chills more then a few times.
The Governor was in great spirits, and gave the bleary eyed morning crowd a good kick in the pants.
He shared our frustrations and hopes and promised to continue to stand with us.
