Convention Coverage: Sunday -- The Eagle Has Landed
According to some REALLY important newspapers, because I am a blogger at the convention, I am supposed to mainly tell you about the food I ate at the events I went to and the latest fashion, instead of doing real reporting.
Well, not to let a REAL journalists down (and because I have been traveling all and day don't know the latest political internet buzz… I flew in on a new carrier for Charleston called Independence Air, which I really like. It’s cheap. Dennis Miller gave the inflight instructions. Seriously.
Once on the ground, I took a $50 dollar cab ride to Quincy. It might as well have been Quebec, this town needs more hotels, closer to downtown. Once at the hotel, I had time to reapply deodorant and cheap cologne only to take another cab to Harvard and smooze with the alum at Kennedy School of Government. For all the lefties in town it was quite surprising for Bill O’Reilly to be the most popular guest. Virginia Governor Rick Warner was there too. Warner is one to watch. He has politics and new technology figured out.
Now I’m in the hotel room, reading delegate’s blogs. They are not the most exciting to read, maybe they've been traveling like me, lets hope it gets better or the REALLY important journalists might be right.
And finally for fashion, blue sports coats are “in” at the convention, but this season, the length of the sleeve should reach the end of the wrist instead of the joint of the thumb.

Phil Noble is truly a visionary and leader when it comes to the cutting edge of internet politics. Thanks for sharing your convention adventures with those of us who can't be in Boston.
I am swithcing back and forth between CPAC
The Canadian Political Cable Network which is using CSPAN feed, and MSNBC.
I love it when the cameras pan the delegates so I can look for 'hot' buttons. Believe it or not buttons that appear at the convention sell for big bucks on eBay.
I can't wait till Bill Clinton's barnburn speech
tonight. My son Nick got me MY LIFE for Father's Day.
Have a happy convention Phil.
