Almanac: At the Capitol

U.S. Senator Amy Klobuchar addressed the convention from the big podium.  She talked about how her trust and respect for Obama goes back to when they were freshmen together.

We got to stand backstage just feet behind the podium during Klobuchar's speech. 

Then we talked to her one on one.  I asked the senator how different this felt versus her address to the convention 4 years ago when she was running for office.  She said it was a different world to talk about her colleagues Obama and Biden.  Speaking of Biden, Klobuchar talked to him on the phone about a visit to Minnesota.  Klobuchar concluded by expressing her pride about apparently being the only Minnesotan to speak before the convention.
