I had written in my wrap story of the Democratic convention that U.S. Rep. Colleen Hanabusa was not around for the group photo and song that closed the three-day event.

Jesse Broder Van Dyke, communications director for U.S. Sen. Dan Akaka, have me this update:

She had to run to an afternoon event at the Arizona Memorial, and the convention was running way behind schedule so she gave her speech and bolted. I only know this because I was hanging around her table brown-nosing before her speech.

It’s true — the convention did run behind schedule.

Democrats … like herding cats.
