In Boston…
Attended the 11am Democratic GAIN training session with Joe Trippi. I took a ton of notes (long-hand; go figure) and will get them on the blog as soon as I can (meeting Mat Gross, Atrios and Matt Stoller for lunch in a sec, and yes, I’m name-dropping). But I will share the end of the […]
Barack Obama Keynote Address
The speech rocked. Is there any question that Barack is a future president? The Obama site is collapsing under the traffic – 335 hits per second. Some instant reactions:
Pandagon: “He entered this a star, he’s leaving a Clinton.” Kos: “Brilliant. Awesome.” DNC Kicking Ass blog: “One of the most powerful speeches I’ve ever heard.” The Left Coaster: Quoting […]
Time together
Adina quotes Pete Kaminski, a co-worker of ours (note that I’ve not met Pete nor Adina, and we live in three different states): “Time together is too important to spend working.” I love it.
Mat Gross and the man behind the curtain
Mat gross makes the point that, while we just posted a few paragraphs of Barack’s Keynote Address on the Obama blog, journalists already have the full text of the speech.
Wonder who will post it first.
Update: Bloggers exercised restraint; it wasn’t online before the speech. If you’re interested, you can read the whole thing here.
Ann Coulter on the Convention
Ann Coulter was hired by USA Today to cover the convention, then fired after filing this report.
The comments from USA Today are pretty funny.
Toned Dean and Gore down, but they forgot to tell Carter
(Note: Finding links to people who have good things to say about the speeches being made at the convention is pretty easy. So I’m going to periodically try to find those who take issue with the presenters say.)
Gore reportedly needed to revise his speech, and rumors are that Dean’s been told to keep his screams […]
Gore’s speech
Jerome has a copy of Gore’s speech.
NinjaStu wires the convention
Also enjoying reading NinjaStu and his efforts to keep the Net up and running at the Fleet.
ConventionBloggers
ConventionBloggers is an outstanding site, aggregating the posts of the various bloggers at the convention. Some of my favorite observations from today:
Dave Winer and Weinberger telling us how dull and boring it is. (So far.) Googling the speakers to find out who they are. Mat Gross explaining why the blogger coverage is so light. Dave Barry telling us […]
