They are sending text messages and emails and updates.
Here’s a sampling:
Chris Nelson, 5:10:
Coachella, Lollapalooza.. anything you’ve been to where humans do their best cattle impersonation does not compare to the sight of the line to get in right now.

Class Struggle: The Media Struggles To Understand Regular Joes

Most pundits agreed that Hillary Clinton delivered a big speech on Tuesday night, but what impressed the liberal punditry the most-including the likes of Chris Matthews and Keith Olbermann, was her “sock to the face” of John McCain, 71. The chattering classes agreed that the Dems need to take the gloves off, because that’s the [...]

The World Watches As America Makes Its Big Decision

There isn’t a man, woman or child in America who doesn’t know that there is an election looming. But with the Internet and cell phones coursing with information, escaping presidential politics requires more than keeping the television set unplugged for two years. But like America, the rest of the world has been watching, reading and [...]

P+P @The DNC: On the Ground at Invesco, Waiting, and Waiting…..

Like many other people, our fearless reporters, Brooke-Sidney, Max Zimbert, and Torey Van Oot are waiting in line at Invesco Field. We just got a text from Max that said:

We arrived in line at  1:10. It’s about a 1.5 to two-mile long line. About 15 minutes later, we merge with another line near Seventh and [...]

Daily News Round Up: The NObama Edition

This round up is an Obama-free zone!
When will the McCain campaign run its next negative ad on Joe Biden?

P+P @ The DNC: Charles Barkley Offers His Two Cents

Quick and to the point, Sir Charles catches up with P+P outside the Pepsi Center to explain why he’s here and why this election is important.

Amuse Bouche: Tara Reid’s Fall Line of Bikinis

It ain’t anything new. Celebrities have been pimping out random product lines for a long time now. It’s one thing when a reputable athlete, such as Michael Jordan, pairs up with Nike to “re-invent” the basketball sneaker by adding some kind of fake air pump to a style of shoe, or when Tony Hawk releases [...]

P+P @ The DNC: The Clintons Woo Back Party Bigwigs

What rift? President Bill Clinton’s address was so hot it melted any frost that existed in the Democratic Party. It was so scorching it reminded hot-blooded Democrats of the commonality of purpose. The GOP wants a “reward…for the last eight years by giving them four more. “Thanks, but no thanks.”
Those in the Pepsi Center tasted [...]

P+P @ The DNC: Bidementum!

Remember Mittmentum? Those were the days…
Many Democrats have had nightmares that the Obama-Clinton tug’o’war was going to upstage Sen. Joe Biden’s debut at the DNC. Wrong. Biden’s speech capped off the day when the Democratic convention finally lived up to the hype and its protagonists replaced Tracy Flick behavior with Saved by the Bell camaraderie.
Honor defines you and loyalty redeems [...]

P+P @ The DNC: Man Down

On the eve of the democratic roll call event, I could feel the electricity and tension in the air as I walked down the streets of downtown Denver. Although Sen. Obama was expected to receive the majority vote and formal nomination for the Democratic presidential ticket, there existed the possibility that Hillary Clinton could somehow [...]

P+P @ The DNC: Party Paraphernalia

DENVER — You can’t walk a block here without seeing at least a handful of vendors staked out on the sidewalk corner, selling everything from Obama-emblazoned T-shirts to his-and-hers complementary scents, mixed to evoke fragrant impressions of Hillary and Bill Clinton (the Bill is a “pre-Lewinsky” blend, we’re told.).
Jim Macer, a self-described peddler hailing from [...]
