(Cross-Posted to DemNotes at www.DemNotes.com) Pat, Sherry and I are in Kansas City tonight for the Fall meeting of the Association of State Democratic Chairs (ASDC). Well, we’re actually in Overland Park, Kansas, but Kansas City sounds slightly more sexy than Overland Park (and there aren’t as many songs about Overland Park as Kansas City).

 Tonight (Friday), Pat and I attended the meeting of the ASDC Executive Committee at the home of former Kansas State Chair (and former South Dakota Chair) Dennis Langley. It was easily the nicest home I’ve ever been in — indeed, the first that had an actual “grotto”. We were joined by the dynamic Democratic Governor of Kansas, Kathleen Sebelius. The meeting itself was another opportunity to get together and compare notes on how things are going across the country. Party chairs and vice chairs are getting excited about coming to Denver next summer for the National Convention, and it is great to see the energy coming from the State Party leaders about their delegations’ trips to Denver next year.

Tomorrow is the primary day for meetings. The full ASDC will be sitting down with the DNC’s Political Director, David Boundy, and discussing the plans for utilizing the State Partnership Program (a/k/a the “50-State Strategy”) within the election campaigns of 2008. We’ll also be discussing coordinated campaigns and preparations by the DNC for a successful convention in Denver. Tomorrow night, we’ll attend a reception at the Truman Library across the river in Independence, Missouri. I’ll write more tomorrow (or Sunday) when we get a chance.
