Sarah Palin: just say no

I first heard rumors of some woman from Alaska being considered for VP as I was boarding the shuttle at o-dark-thirty (around 6am) Friday morning. Honestly, I didn't pay much attention, figuring that the talking heads on TV were just doing their normal filling airtime.

Convention update – thru Tuesday

OK, so I've mostly been using Twitter to keep y'all up to date on what's been going on. Truth be told, I've been too tired to spend much time blogging. I'm taking it all in, though, and will be having a bunch of stuff when I get back. Since I last posted, I found out … Continue reading Convention update – thru Tuesday →

8:46pm ET: Right now, on stahe is Jesse Jackson Jr. The Virgina delegation is seated on the floor, in the center, right behind the Illinois delegation.
