MadProfessah was in the District of Columbia for an LGBT Bloggers Summit and was able to attend two plenary sessions of the Victory Fund's International Gay and Lesbian Leadership Conference which amusingly enough is at the Mayflower Hotel where, as Kate Clinton put it "New York lost a Governor."
The first plenary session I attended was "What Just Happened: Analyzing 2008 and Looking Ahead"

Moderator Kerry Eleveld, Senior Political Editor, The Advocate
