Day 3 Begins

Here I am, two and a half hours before the third call to order of this years Democratic National Convention.  Sitting in the same seat as I was last night, check out the video on Youtube to see my view.  Right now Melissa Etheridge is on stage practicing for her performance tonight.  This morning I was at the New Hampshire delegate breakfast.  I interviewed Congresswomen Carol Shea Porter and Obama campaign co-chair Jim Demers.  They were both very nice

On to the news of the evening, Day two was a busy day in the convention hall, we heard from governors, senators and congressmen/women.  All of them had one general message, the need for change.  Hillary Clinton was the headline speaker, coming out in full force for Obama.  Her speech aimed to convert the very last Hillary supporters to Obama’s side.  I spoke with New Hampshire Democrats chairman Raymond Buckley about Clinton’s speech:

Tonight, day three of the Denver DNC is a little over two hours from starting.  Tonights speakers are to include: House speaker Nancy Pelosi, New Hampshire’s own Jean Shaheen, West Virginia senator Jay Rockefeller, Senate majority leader Harry Reid (interview on youtube.com/politicsfitzu), Former President Bill Clinton, Massachusetts’s Senator John Kerry, New Mexico  governor Bill Richardson and Vice Presidential nominee Joe Biden.  Its expected to be a lot bigger than yesterday’s lineup. 

This morning our reporters Tanner Acebo and Logan Mack went out to a Michelle Obama event.
