Democratic State Convention, Jackson, Wyo., May 23-24, 2008

Dinner Banquet featuring Govs. Freudenthal and Schweitzer

 With an enormous thanks to Tom Ninnemann of Jackson Hole Radio  News, we are proud to present audio clips of the speeches from our dinner banquet at the Snow King Resort.

Click on the links below to listen to any of these clips (please be aware  that the longer speeches take a couple minutes to load):

- Wyoming  Democratic Party Chairman John Millin introduces Wyoming's first  lady.

Don't miss Chairman Millin's astute observation on neighboring governors dining at the same table during a drought. (About 50 seconds)

- Wyoming  First Lady Nancy Freudenthal introduces her husband.

Mrs. Freudenthal recalls days on the campaign trail with the love of her life. (About 4 minutes)

-

 Wyoming  Gov. Dave Freudenthal delivers his address and introduces Gov.  Schweitzer.

 Gov. Dave has dinner guests rolling on the floor with an act that would  impress George Carlin, Bill Cosby or Jeff Foxworthy. Then he shifts into a more  serious gear and offers advice on how to succeed in Western politics. (About 15  minutes)

-                      Montana  Gov. Brian Schweitzer delivers his dinner address.

The Montana governor shares his thoughts on state troopers, the Patriot Act, the sedition laws of  World War II, the federal "so-called Real I.D. Act" and  other topics. A very thoughtful and moving speech. (About 36 minutes)

- Gov. Schweitzer auctions off his bolo tie.

The Democratic governor continues his tradition of auctioning off a classy piece of neckwear to help raise money for the Wyoming Democratic Party. (About 5 minutes)

(Above) Teton County Democratic Party Vice Chair Marcia Kunstel  displays Gov. Schweitzer's bolo tie. Kunstel will attend the Democratic National  Convention as an Obama alternate.

Author Bill Broyles of Teton County, an Obama delegate to the state  convention, delivered a powerful luncheon address to provide one of the highlights of the day. The Vietnam veteran comments on the war in Iraq and the  people behind it.
