Monday Night Recap: RNC Convention

McCain Vs. Moore became the talk of the blogs last night as John McCain bashed Fahrenheit 9/11 and Michael Moore showed up to the convention with press credentials. When Moore disruptively (more the press' fault than his own) made his way through the Garden, delegates shouted obscenities at him, others yelled out websites.

One passerby got in an anti-Moore plug: "Log into Moorewatch.com and Moorelies.com."

Moore was there writing a column for USA Today.

Overall convention RNC bloggers experienced the same woes as the DNC bloggers. Captain’s Quarters sums it up nicely.

Our first day on the job provided challenges in droves to Bloggers Corner. For one, the IT connections had not all been established, and it took several hours before all of us were able to reliably get on line and post to our sites. Our strategic placement meant that we could get some good interviews, but that our access to the convention floor was quite limited. In fact, we have to traverse four flights, one down and three up, to get into the main hall, and then we can't get onto the floor itself. Add in the generally lost feeling of not knowing your surroundings and the overwhelming blitz of traffic coming around our area, add a dash of the tightest security I've ever seen, and you get the idea that we could be forgiven a bit of disorientation.

In my opinion PoliBlog summed up Monday night at the convention better than most.
