DELEGATE FORUM
The fourth and final Delegate Forum is in! Our team of Online Delegates (including former-VP candidate Geraldine Ferraro) answers your questions about Social Security, local races in 1996, memorable convention moments, and the differences between Democrats and Republicans.

THROUGH THEIR EYES
Our Delegates loved Al Gore's speech. When he spoke of his sisters fight with cancer, one delegate writes that the United Center was "quiet as a church." With that behind them, they're excited about the President's speech, and still enjoying the night life.
