DU reports from the Democratic National Convention, August 25-28 2008
Posted by Hissyspit in General Discussion

Blogger's Lounge in the Press Box is crowded and they are rotating the bloggers in and out, but we will be reporting from the stadium as much as possible. Stay tuned. Stage looks great, don't know what the controversy is about. It's a hazy, but a fantastic, not too hot, CLOUDLESS day here in Denver. Beautiful.

The views in the stadium are effectively clear for all seating, and it is nice and air-conditioned in the press box areas, where you will find us set up about on the 20-yard line, I believe. One end of the stadium is slighty opened up with a, I would guess, 100-foot long LED screen for people to view info and close-ups of the action.

The bus ride over was pleasant enough, if a bit convoluted. We're early, here, but thre is plenty to keep us busy. Nice start to an historic day. Elad and I listened to Fresh Air with Terry Gross on the way from the hotel. Her "make-up sex" analogy to describe the Hillary and Barack convention situation was interesting, to say the least.
