viet-flag-convention-floor.jpgHat tip to the Liberal OC blog, where delegates Chris Prevatt and Misha Houser are blogging. Houser, at left in the photo with Santa Ana Councilwoman Michelle Martinez, is carrying the US and South Vietnamese flags with her on the convention floor.

“Although there are no Vietnamese-American delegates (from Orange County) to the Democratic National Convention I felt it was important that the community be represented at the Convention,” Houser says on the blog. “Despite what Van Tran and the OC GOP may want people to believe, there are plenty of Democrats in the Vietnamese community. They are here with me at the Democratic Convention in spirit and in my heart.”

Minh Luu from San Jose appears to be the sole Vietnamese American delegate in Denver.
