I missed all sorts of stuff that would have been a gold mine to blog on, such as the short-lived administration of Governor Dean Martin. (Instead of “That’s Amore,” I feel like singing “Hey, Luciani!”) I can already see the anti-Martin bumper stickers when he runs for Governor in 2010, “Sixteen Hours is Enough!”
I also [...]
The signal became really iffy around the time that Obama took the stage. I think there may have been too much cell phone traffic in the stadium. Sorry…but I bet most of you were paying more attention to Obama’s speech than my “live blogs.”
My take on the speech: Damn.
You ever see Diego Maradona play? He’d [...]
8:02 – Biographical film: shows baby picture of Obama and crowd goes “aww…”
8:00 – Technical note: my connection is slow, so bear with me.
7:57 – Sen. Richard Durbin is up to introduce Barack Obama.
7:53 – Younger delegates are excited because Master P is nearby. Janet Napolitano is leading several members of the delegation in a [...]
I can’t plug in tonight, so this will be my last post until seven or so.
The lines to get into this place extend for miles. I think that the naysayers that thought that this was a bad idea (which included me) are proven wrong. This crowd is already amped, including the folks in the nosebleed [...]
There are a lot of things to do here, and a lot of things to buy here. At the same time, there are things that some people are not allowed to do and buy.
Case in point: a friend of mine managed to snag passes to an event for One.org featuring Kanye West. This was regarded [...]
8:59 – I’m done.
8:57 – I don’t think Obama is using a teleprompter, he’s moving around too much.
8:54 – Obama just appeared on stage. Crowd goest totally nuts. Arizona delegates look back to see Michelle’s reaction.
8:48 – Despite the emphasis on foreign policy from earlier speakers, it is only just now that Biden gets to [...]
After this morning’s delegate breakfast, staunch Hillary Clinton backer Jojene Mills called for a meeting of Southern Arizona delegates. At that meeting (which included Barack Obama coordinator Kelly Paisley), Mills and other Baja Arizona Clinton stalwarts like Judy Nagle pledged to join the campaign. The Obama people that I talked to were quite pleased about [...]
Fantastic speech from Hillary Clinton last night. The Fox News people at our hotel are already making noise about one line omitted from the speech that would have made her support for Obama more obvious. I’m not exactly sure how she could make it more obvious. Their spin, that they debuted in the hotel bar [...]
The bloggers were invited to a “Blogger Barbecue.” We all got some face time with Howard Dean. The sound on this video is not the greatest, but I got two questions at the end.
