The Political Whore

Ana Cruz is a political consultant in Tampa and former executive director of the Florida Democratic Party. She agreed to file regular reports from D.C. via Facebook mobile as she takes in the parties and events this week.

This Hispanic ball is packed. Its a zoo but lots of celebs and members of Congress and folks that traveled from all over. Its a great mix of people. Funny enough I’m standing in the room I was in for Clinton’s 2nd inaug.

I’m in the weeds. Heading to Saks to buy another dress. Too many events not enough fabric;) then heading to the hill to pick up tickets from Meek’s office. I picked up my swearing in tkt from Hillary’s Office and they r beautiful. Very formal, gold tassel, maps and good directions and two nice photos of our new potus and vpotus. Its so real finally and so much more exciting. More to come. I wish all of Tampa were here to share this me. Its really very special.

Oh on another note. Getting out of last night dress was hysterical. It involved my best friend heather a serrated kitchen [knife] and a meatball sub.

Wayne- I’m headed to yet another series of celebrations. 1st to meet up w Congressman Meek @ Congresswoman Corrine Brown’s Florida party then to a small dinner and then to the fl society ball. This is so much fun but very tiring. Its absolutely freezing up here as well. Taxis and limos are hard to come by but the view of the Capitol lit up in the distance is breath taking, all the monuments seem even more special tonight for some reason. I’ve always been proud to be a Democrat but feel extraordinarily humbled by all those who believed in this Democratic president-elect. May sound corny to some but if you were here you’d understand.
