The DNC Web logging site leaves much to be desired.  They publish the schedule for the day -- but they could put the speaking schedule up along with links to speaker bios and a full transcript of the speech (it's already loaded in the teleprompter, has been since Saturday).  And the live feed is a full minute and a half behind...  means they aren't assigning priority out of the production booth. comment [] 7:19:57 PM    

Winer reports on National Journal Hotline being a "very interesting crib sheet on the news of the day from the Washington perspective."  Hotline was a "hot" new thing in 1988 when the convention was here in Atlanta.  We would dial in, grab the file, then print it here.  Hotline would also fax you the daily clips as well.  I have heard some politicos ask if Blogs are just another way to do what the Hotline does...  Somethings don't change, just the delivery channels. comment [] 4:46:15 PM    

Well, when you are covering what amounts to true reality tv (everything is on a tele-prompter) those doing the covering look for other things to cover.  And, since blogging a convention is the next new thing, why not?
