By MICHAEL McAULIFFE mmcauliffe@repub.com Hillary Rodham Clinton is out of the presidential race, but Pioneer Valley supporters elected as delegates for the New York senator are still looking forward to the Democratic National Convention in Denver. "No second thoughts. I'm still going," said Springfield resident Melvin R. Drungo Jr., one of a half-dozen valley residents elected as Clinton delegates during caucuses in April. "I'm absolutely going to go," said another, Easthampton resident Shawn M. Robinson. "I'm thrilled. I'm excited." Drungo and Robinson are both delegates for the first time. Both are also black, and they will be witnesses to history when U.S. Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., becomes the first black presidential candidate nominated to represent a major party. "That," said the 25-year-old Robinson, "is well worth the cost. And, it's extremely expensive. I can't believe I'm going to get to see it." Delegates are responsible for covering their costs to attend the Aug. 25 to 28 Convention, and the bill can run to thousands of dollars. However, fund-raisers are sometimes conducted to help defray the costs. Only Springfield City Councilor Jose F. Tosado among the Clinton delegates elected at Pioneer Valley caucuses decided to bypass the Convention. He will back Obama, but he said he lost a lot of his zeal for the Convention after Clinton quit the race. "I am a Democrat," said Tosado. "But then again, I can stay home and vote for hi ...

The 2008 Democratic National Convention is looming – and the recurring questions about free speech, public spaces and National security are on the minds of freedom-loving people everywhere. Not surprisingly, those who plan to protest at the Democratic National Convention next month will most likely be confined to a fenced in “designated protest zone.” This will put the dissenters, their voices and their signs about 700 feet from the Pepsi Center, where the Convention will be held. The city is citing security concerns to justify the sequestering of protesters, many of whom are members of peace groups like CodePink, United for Peace and Justice, the American Friends Service Committee and Students for Peace and Justice, just to name a few. ...

Just a few years ago, the city was the last place such an event would be held. Having strengthened its feeble ranks in recent years, the Cincinnati chapter of the NAACP will host the weeklong National Convention of the nation’s oldest and largest civil rights organization beginning Friday. Not only is it unusual that the Cincinnati branch got the call, considering that its utter relevancy was being questioned before its relatively recent upswing in membership, but the city itself was deemed a pariah just a short while ago by Black leaders because of alleged racial insensitivity among city officials. Charges of police brutality sparked several days of rioting in 2001, following the police killing of a suspect, and NAACP leaders steered African Americans away from Cincinnati. But last year the chapter’s members rose almost threefold, from 750 members to 2,000 members, and Christopher Smitherman, the branch president, is being credited with the turnaround. So, when the organization’s 8,000 delegates descend upon Cincinnati on Friday, all eyes will be on the rejuvenated chapter. The fact that the presumptive presidential candidates, Republican Sen. John McCain and Democratic Sen. Barack Obama, will be on hand only adds to the attention. ...
