Edina Obamaniacs Hosting Democratic Convention 'Watch Parties'

Across Minnesota tonight, Sept. 6, Democrats are holding more than 100 Democratic National Convention viewing parties.

Volunteers will gather to watch President Barack Obama's speech, as he accepts his party's official nomination for the 2012 election. Among those parties, at least one is being held right here in Edina.

"Team Edina" is gathering at the home of LuAnne Speeter (7128 Valley View Road) to watch Obama accept the nomination, "enjoy each other's company, and offer ways you can help make an impact on the election's outcomes."

Locals interested in attending the party can RSVP online or by calling the number listed on the event announcement.

Obama enthusiasts can also check out a viewing party in neighboring Hopkins, at the city's Organizing for America Office (1007 Main Street). 

To find the "watch party" nearest you, check out a nearly-complete list of all events at the Obama campaign's website by searching using your zip code.
