Diane Denk

After hearing Illinois Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr.’s speech last night, Diane Denk, an alternate delegate for Barack Obama, hopes he will run for Obama’s Senate seat.

Jackson was one of many speakers last night at the Democratic National Convention.

“All of the speeches were absolutely brilliant…” Denk said. “Ted Kennedy was so vibrant, so robust. It was an exciting moment to see the old warhorse in action.”

Maine’s delegates to the Democratic National Convention are on both sides of the fence when it comes to having a roll call vote for Hillary Clinton.

Presumptive nominee Barack Obama’s campaign made the announcement along with Clinton’s campaign that Clinton’s name will be submitted for nomination in the first round of balloting.

Before the announcement was officially made, PolitickerME sent out an e-mail survey to all of the elected DNC delegates.

Two Clinton supporters responded, and both favored a roll call vote. Seven Obama supporters responded. Three favored a roll call, three opposed it and one would not comment on the issue.
