Summary:"There's enthusiasm and optimism that someone in this room will be elected president," said Wayne Holland Jr., head of the Utah Democratic Party who attended the conference of liberal activists organized by the Campaign for America's Future. "There's a confidence I've never seen." "I was impressed with all of them," said Pennsylvania accountant Allan Winey, who attended the day's first gathering: a meeting of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees union.Speaking to the labor group, one of the nation's largest, were Sens. Hillary Clinton of New York and Barack Obama of Illinois, former Sen. John Edwards of North Carolina, New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson and Rep. Dennis Kucinich of Ohio. Mr. Obama delivered his signature call for changing the nation's political culture from one driven by money, special interests and partisanship to one that makes room for a more civil, substantive and hopeful debate. "Politics in this town is no longer a mission - - it's a business," he said. "If you want a new kind of politics, it's time to turn the page."
