Yes, I know, this is actually Wednesday which is Day 3 of the Convention and I haven't blogged about Day 2 yet. Yesterday gave me no time to get to the computer. Due to a transportation snafu (and a late night party) I did not get back to the hotel until after 1:30am.
By the way, if you catch a glimpse of me on TV and it looks like I'm not watching whoever is speaking at the podium, that is because I'm looking at the big screen behind us. Often I cannot see over the heads of the people in front of me -especially if they're waving rally signs. The large projection screens behind the delegations show the same perspective as a TV viewer might get.
Our days are very full and have a clear rhythm: breakfast meeting, caucus meetings, convention business meeting....PARTY. And there is far more to do than just that: there are literally dozens of ancillary luncheon meetings, forums and socials. I have had no time to participate in any of those..or maybe since this is my first convention I just don't know how to juggle my time and apparate from one venue to the next and back again.
But rather than provide boring detail (well, boring to anyone other than political junkies) of what goes on in these meetings, I will take Mike B's suggestion and describe what it is like to be on the floor of the convention. Tomorrow's post will include a bit more detail about being on the floor which is, to some, the most coveted real estate at the Democratic National Convention.

Yes, Mrs. B. If anyone can keep up the pace, you can.
Enjoy soldiering on!
