In case you've been living in a cave you'll know that one of the big stories of this year's DNC Convention is the elevation in status of bloggers from outsiders to quasi-mainstream accredited press.
Now, in the last couple of days a new site has debuted which aggregates all of the bloggers' posts in real time so you can keep up hour-by-hour with the view from the Convention floor.

In other news, I caught excerpts of Gore's and Clinton's speeches and I must say I was impressed, especially with the restraint shown by both. Clinton struck a chord when he talked about how Bush and Kerry are "strong men who love their country dearly" but have vastly different worldviews. I thought that was a genius touch: He's saying to those swing voters and Republicans who like Bush but not what he's done, "It's OK, Bush seems like a nice guy and I'm sure he means well, but let's be honest, he hasn't been a success as a President." It kind of welcomes the fence-sitters into the folds, and creates a less antagonistic environment in which to persuade people. Nicely done.
