That's the message on bumper stickers being sold to eager Democrats this past weekend at the annual meeting of the Florida Democratic party in Orlando.  Three likely 2008 presidential candidates showed up to address the gathering of 2,500 delegates: Iowa Governor Tom Vilsack, former Virginia Governor Mark Warner, and former Senator John Edwards.

All three men tried to tap into a theme of a 'national community,' stressing their personal stories and humble upbrings. "None of us got here on ourselves," Edwards said. "What we do together matters. What we do as a national community matters."

According to most press reports, Edwards impressed, "mesmerizing" the group with talk about poverty and Katrina. Edwards received applause for telling the crowd, "we need to make sure Judge Alito does not go to the United States Supreme Court;" and he got a standing ovation for reissuing a mea-culpa on his war vote: "I want to say something very clearly: I was wrong. It was a mistake."

Vilsack got somewhat mixed reviews in his first appearance on a semi-national stage. One reporter said Vilsack drove some delegates to tears with the story of his tough-luck upbrining, but a delegate quoted in the Des Moines register said Vilsack's "delivery was flat." He did win the anti-Bush one-liner of the meeting award, telling the crowd on Friday night just minutes before Reggie Bush won the Heisman trophy in New York: "It'll be the first time a Bush has won when all the votes have been counted." (What good would a meeting of the Florida Democratic party be without at least a couple of reminders of the "stolen" election in 2000?)

Warner continued his reign as the hottest star in the Democratic party, stressing to Democrats his ability to compete in the "reddest of the red states" and to deliver results. So far as I could tell Warner did not mention Iraq, but his stance on the war hardly seemed to dampen the obvious enthusiasm for his candidacy:

"There's a policy piece of this and there's a human piece of this," said Warner, who was mobbed by Democratic activists looking for a handshake or an introduction. "I love human contact. This gives me a chance for people to hopefully get a sense of who I am."

As he ascended a hotel escalator, trailed by people still trying to catch a moment of his time, he quipped: "I'm surprised at how many people know me!"

Warner is fresh off of raising an obscene amount of money and clearly still in the post-Kaine victory honeymoon period. It will be interesting to see how long it lasts.

Two other 2008 notes: Barack Obama gave the keynote address this weekend. Irrespective of his true intentions, Obama will continue to be among the most interesting speculative angles of 2008. Also, Vilsack got a bit of a boost yesterday when the Democratic task force looking at potential changes to the 2008 primary calendar recommended preserving Iowa's first-in-the-nation status.
