Suggest this be an open thread.  Here are a few highlights:

The Platform Committee has five co-chairs - one of whom is David Kravitz, one of the BMG guys.

John Walsh, the chair of the State Democratic Committee announced that ANY Democrat who wants to organize a Platform Meeting may do so - the only requirement is that the State Democratic Committee be notified.  That is what I heard and wrote in my notes - someone please correct me if this is not accurate.  [It's accurate. -David]

The window is time-limited.  The printer's deadline for the final platform is April 27, 2009.  The first platform committee hearing is tomorrow [2/11/09] at the Portueguese Club in Hudson [Kate - what time?] - Platform  meetings must be completed and the results/consensus/comments e-mailed to the State Democratic Party not later than March 27, 2009 [I am not certain as to what the preferred e-mail address to use to do this is - can someone add that in the comments?]

If THAT is not a call to transparency - not to mention a "put up or shut up" - I do not know what is.
