Monday night remarks powerful

DENVER - With a night under their belts to soak it in, many of the Washington state delegates were still soaking in the program from the convention Monday night. Kristine' Reeves, an Obama delegate and the Spokane County Democratic Party Chair, found the slate led by Michelle Obama and Sen. Ted Kennedy to be particularly emotional and profound.

"I think they were moving," Reeves told PolitickerWA.com." They were inspirational and awe-inspring and, regardless of what FOX News will tell you, they were motivational in a lot of ways."

In terms of inspiration, Reeves was also moved by the remarks of Illinois State Treasurer Alexi Giannoulias. She was impressed by his rise to state politics at such a young age, and his ability to translate that into excitement among his peers, herself included.

Reeves, who is the state's youngest county party chair, further saw her relative youth as a way to put the night's events into perspective.

"I think the most powerful thing for me, I'm 27, and never in my lifetime did I think I would see this, let alone have front row seats to watch history happen," she said, "and to listen to both Ted Kennedy and Michelle Obama speak last night, you know, it is a culmination of my grandparents' vision for America meeting my future for America so it was just very moving, very heart-wrenching."
