Was a huge failure to communicate. During the course of preparing for the convention I made sure to keep fairly close contact with those organizing the bloggers efforts at the convention. Flying in for the convention from Utah necessitated that. In spite of my best efforts to make sure that I had the story coming in here, I found out the hard way today just what the vaunted "special media" credentials entailed. Our seats (for the special media) are buried in the basement of the Roy Wilkins Auditorium - no where near the convention floor! Oh sure, they are piping the action from the floor in to us....via CSPAN! Not exactly the live coverage we were told we would be able to provide.

Memo to the other "credentialed bloggers". If you want to see the floor action in person, you can. If you want to write about it real time....save the gas and stay home! I wish I had.....
