Democratic National Convention

Since bloggers covered the Democratic National Convention, there's was more information available than anyone could summarize (though Technorati gave it the old college try). Of course, this was also plenty of discussion about bloggers vs. "journalists". See Wired and Salon for more bird's eye coverage.

But, the novelty of bloggers with credentials aside, who cares about the conventions? Nothing new gets said inside on the convention floor, that's for sure. The real story this time was what happened outside the convention, in the DNC's so-called "Free Speech Zone". If you want to know what both major parties think about free speech, just take a look at the pictures.

While we're on that subject, don't miss James Atkinson's security assessment of the convention. Would you feel any safer with the folks responsible for this mess protecting the whole country? Or do you think that both major parties would rather just sweep their failings under the rug?
