I'm sitting beneath one of the big monitors. Only the secret service are higher up. About 30 minutes ago I had a temp floor pass and said hi to Aaron sitting next to Morgan Carroll. I'm blogging this from my iPhone. I was able to snag what was supposed to be a real swanky seat with the Denver Dems, but it turns out that section is directly behind the stage. Whoopie! The most fun on the floor was speaking briefly with rep Degette and delegate Anthony Graves. I wanted to ask about rumors of his next move, but got kicked off the floor as I didn't have a seat. What rumors he asked? Apparently the ones Aaron is spreading. How do we look on cspan or where ever you're watching?

The Next President of the United States of America (0.00 / 0)

ha!

by: Zappatero @ Thu Aug 28, 2008 at 21:36:16 PM CDT

You, johne, looked like an ant among 80,00 others (0.00 / 0)

But the next President looked fan-freaking-tastic. Great stuff tonight.

And I'm also proud of my city. I was worried we couldn't pull it off. And we did. One of the most spectacular conventions in history. Way to go, Denver!

Thanks for the coverage johne. You may be one face in a large crowd, but your convention blogging has been great to follow.
