  • 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…

  • 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…

  • 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.…

  • As Ohio goes, so goes the nation

    Welcome to the latest advertiser here at tins, Make Ohio Blue. (Not excited? Well, the individual behind MakeOhioBlue is none other than… Jerry Springer!) MakeOhioBlue is: a place to meet up with likeminded people, blog, get the latest Ohio poll data, read developing stories, even share an occasional much-needed laugh. Make Ohio Blue can be…

  • Change in plans re: convention

    Sorry to report that my convention plans are being downsized a bit. Originally was planning on being in Boston for the duration, but something’s come up and I’ll only be able to make it out for Wednesday (when I’m speaking on a panel with Kos and Aldon.) If you’re looking for good blog coverage, be…

  • Barack Obama on Meet the Press and Face the Nation

    Whoa. Talk about big-time: Barack will be on Face the Nation on CBS and Meet the Press on NBC (find your local broadcast here). He’s giving the keynote address at the convention Tuesday night. And did you catch the open thread we did this week over at the Obama blog? More than 300 people left…

  • And help Karl too

    Carl with a K (get it? His name is actually Karl) is also competing to be one of the majority makers, and points out in the comments that though he doesn’t want to be competing against his good friend Josh, he really wants to go to Boston. I got to meet Karl when I was…
