DNC Monday: National Popcorn Week Begins!

Here is an introductory video from the Idaho Progressive blog, 43rd State Blues, walking us through the sign-in process at the Democratic national convention:

NC Bloggers

Pam's House Blend Crew

This blog is run by a black lesbian, so (predictably) will be covering LGBT and Racial Identity politics. They will also have a cover-it live chat blox up for the prime-time coverage, and I will try to embed it on a page on West Carolina Report, and be logged in there to keep an eye on them.

Meanwhile, there is an open thread over there this morning.

Blue NC has several people at the convention, but as of 8 AM Monday, none of them have posted.

One of them, Greg Meyer, is a delegate for Barack Obama and will be uploading a video vlog every evening (or morning after) that should prove interesting. Here is his intro:

I will be bringing you interesting stuff throughout the course of the day, and have set up a page on West Carolina Report as a place for Unconventional Convention Coverage from unlikely and local to the Denver area sources in case you get tired of the network coverage of the event.

I have my popcorn, and will be eating plenty during this National Popcorn Week in Denver, Colorado.
