MSNBC just flashed that the Obama car is driving to the Pepsi Center.

Joe Biden has been nominated and Nancy Pelosi informs us he's accepted.

The video and son Beau's introduction have really focused on Biden's remarkable story of commitment as a father; earlier, Quincy Lucas, an advocate on domestic violence issues, delivered a nominating speech focusing on Biden's longstanding work on the Violence Against Women Act.

Finishing, Beau Biden alludes to the fact that he will be deployed to Iraq this fall, asking the crowd to "be there for my father; be there for Barack Obama."

And now Biden is on...

Who has been your favorite speaker so far tonight? And how do the speakers compare to last night?

Yesterday Bob Casey had one of the best lines of the night:

John McCain calls himself a maverick, but he votes with George Bush more than 90% of the time...that's not a maverick, that's a sidekick.

Tonight he is relaxing and enjoying the show.

Take the poll and use the comments to tell us how you made your choice.

From Kagro X, reporting from the Pepsi Center...convention goers watching Bill Clinton on TV. Remember, these folks are all about ten steps away from seeing it live. But rather than miss a word during the ten foot walk, they stayed glued to the screens.

John Kerry reporting for duty ....

Before John McCain debates Barack Obama, he needs to finish the debate with John McCain.

America can do better than that and Barack Obama will do better than that.

Clinton just laid some branding on the Democrats and made the Republicans own the last eight years as we saw their ideology in practice.

They want us to reward them for the failures of the last four years with four more years.

The third time is not the charm.

Bill says that Hillary is supporting Barack Obama, that his support makes two of them, and:

Actually, that makes 18 million of us.

And that:

Barack Obama is the man for this job.

Barack Obama is ready to be President of the United States

The Big Dog is up. Prepare for media tears as Bill Clinton endorses Barack Obama. Says Bill:

I am honored to be here tonight...[crowd going nuts]...I am here, first to support Barack Obama and second I'm here to warm up the crowd for Joe Biden.

Former President Bill Clinton is up next.

Who remembers this?  Back in September 2000:

President Clinton announced Wednesday that the federal budget surplus for fiscal year 2000 amounted to at least $230 billion, making it the largest in U.S. history and topping last year's record surplus of $122.7 billion.

Nancy Pelosi is facing "tough questions" via Digg on CNN.

Check it out.

Update:  And they're done.  It was cool, though.  The Internets really work!

It's still not even primetime coverage time, but the real political junkies are tuned in and chatting away...

Discuss amongst yourselves.

They're really moving through the speakers this afternoon here in Denver. Here's the thread to keep up, if you can. And here's the schedule for the rest of the evening.

It's official:  Nancy Pelosi entered a motion to nominate Barack Obama by acclamation, it was seconded and carried. Discuss.

From the SF Examiner via Think Progress, this hardly needs any commentary:

On Monday, AT&T threw an exclusive party for the Blue Dogs, the House's moderate and conservative Democrats, at the historic Mile High Station in downtown Denver. Among the guests was House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, D-Md., who in June led Blue Dogs in crafting a compromise bill that shielded telecommunications companies from lawsuits arising from the government's terrorism-era warrantless eavesdropping.

Hoyer spokeswoman Stacey Bernards said Hoyer was not aware of any connection between the party and his work on the legislation.

"I’m sure Mr. Hoyer didn’t even know who the sponsor was," she said.

Yep. AT&T throws an "exclusive" party for the Blue Dogs after the Blue Dogs have jammed through immunity for telcos against the wishes of the rest of the party. But it's OK, because Steny Hoyer doesn't see a connection. AT&f'ingT throws the Blue Dogs parties all the time, I'm sure.

I hate politics. These people are so corrupt they don't even give a damn whether they look corrupt.
