Congressman Robert Wexler at DNC RBC Meeting

I recently discovered my local Congressman: Robert Wexler of the 19th Florida district. He made a huge impression when he testified before the Democratic Natinal Committee's Rules and Bylaws Committee meeting, representing Barack Obama. His testimony was courageous, passionate, fair and articulate. He explained the series of events leading us to the committee meeting, noted the agreement of the entire Florida Congressional delegation's agreement, including Obama and Clinton supporters, and thene announced Obama's extraordinary concession under the circumstances. The video encapsulates this extremely courageous testimony in the face of jeering Clinton supporters at an epic moment in American history.

Two days later, I found out that Congressman Wexler was having a town meeting in Boca. I decided to attend. What I saw only reinforced my already high opinion of him. His constituents are mostly Clinton supporters. He explained to them his actions in support of Obama, again in the face of hostility. I wrote a dailykos diary about the event, which made a big splash, culminating in a thank you from the Wexler campaign. I made it to the top of the rec list, and stayed there for most of the day. Here's the diary:
