SAN DIEGO-- Day two of the California Democratic Party's convention is halfway over, and delegates seem to be elated over the lavish attention they're getting from the party's candidates for president. One Democratic strategist called the lineup of potential presidential contenders an "embarrassment of riches," and it's very possible that the Dems who were undecided upon arrival in San Diego... may leave that way, too.

Much more on the substantive decisions facing Democrats on Monday morning's edition of The California Report. But for now, the-- ahem-- less substantive flotsam and jetsam of this 2007 convention:

* Jukebox Heroes: Political reporters always seem to enjoy playing that old game "Name That Tune" as candidates take the stage... because, sometimes, the music chosen to sweep them on and off stage seems to say something about his or her personality. Sen. Hillary Clinton was first this morning... she took the stage to the song, "Right Here, Right Now" by Jesus Jones. (No, I didn't know that... I googled it). Her departure was met with "Ain't Seen Nothing Yet," by Bachman Turner Overdrive. Those aren't exactly cliched songs in politics (whereas U2's "Beautiful Day" has now certainly become one). But they weren't as surprising as the theme music for Sen. Barack Obama. The junior senator from Illinois was ushered in to the convention hall with "Give The People What They Want" by The O'Jays. And at the end of his speech? "Think," by Aretha Franklin.

All these and more, coming to an iTunes playlist near you.

* That Chant: Speaking of Obama, his volunteers spent about an hour standing in the sun waiting to see him in the flesh, just before he took the convention stage. As is the case with music, politics is home to many cliched chants, too. One chant that is way past its expiration date: "What do we want? (Your want chanted here) When do we want it? Now!"

But I heard a new one today from the Obama volunteers... a lyrical chant that weaves in his name and the year... click here for what it sounded like.

* Great Line: Sen. Clinton held an after-speech news conference, as did most candidates (except Obama)... but hers was packed with a few hundred people (not all mainstream media... some were supporters, some were partisan bloggers, etc.) She fielded a number of questions, mostly about the Iraq war and about California politics. But her best line came when asked whether a vote for her was a "two for the price of one"-- a line her husband, former President Bill Clinton, once used during the 1992 campaign. Mrs. Clinton didn't take the bait, but she did deliver a great line.

It came after her new co-chair, Assembly Speaker Fabian Nunez, said: "This time, a woman's in the driver's seat."

"That's right," she said. "And who would ask for directions?"

My wife would agree.

* Freebies: Convention delegates are like everyone else-- they like a little complimentary gift every now and then. The standard fare at political gatherings are things like tote bags (which, this time, were sponsored with a great big logo from Superintendent of Public Instruction Jack O'Connell). But the most unusual one spotted today-- small tins of breath mints awaiting delegates as they sat down... sponsored by the Morongo Band of Mission Indians. The tribe, which is lobbying hard to get its new gaming deal past skeptical Assembly Democrats, wins this award because of the name emblazoned on the container: "Tribal Governmints."

Runner-up, by the way: the disposable cameras wrapped in the campaign logo of Hillary Clinton. The idea was for attendees to take photos and send them to the campaign for use online. Kind of reminded me of how the same cameras have come to dominate wedding receptions...

* Record Turnout: Party officials late this afternoon announced that the convention has drawn a record number of delegates in attendance: 2,264.
