DNC delegates get Obama inaugural book, iPad cases

Iowa delegates to the Democratic National Convention received ?Barack Obama: The Official Inaugural Book,? a coffee-table sized picture book. at breakfast this morning, which Iowa party staff said was courtesy of the Democratic National Committee. Fitting, perhaps, after Michelle Obama said in her convention speech Tuesday night that when she first met her husband, his prized possession was a coffee table salvaged from a garbage bin.

Earlier in the week, delegates also received a CD of music. That?s on top of the goodie bags that delegates scored when they arrived in Charlotte.? The gift collection, sponsored by various businesses, featured an iPad case, a pound of light-brown sugar and a second container of sugar mixed with cinnamon. On the other hand, there was a pedometer provided by a health-insurance company and a mini-can of Diet Coke, just in case anyone was counting calories.

Here?s a peek inside the goodie bags:
