HELLO, EVERYONE! Ametia here. I arrived in Charlotte, NC around 12 midnight. Hubby’s a trooper; drove the entire trip. Of course, we hit the bunkers immediately. I was up by 10 am today and we took off for the Convention Center to scope out the terrain. Charlotte is beautiful. As we approached the Convention Center, there’s an electronic billboard with a pic of President Obama and that famous red, white, and blue logo. OWS protesters are in town. The security is off the chain here.
I’ll post pics tomorrow.
Did you all see Stephanie Cutter on Face The nation this morning? I ran in to her at the center, and said a quick hello. She was cordial and kept it moving. The lady is definitely on a mission. Hubby and I spotted Jonathan Capehart, as we were leaving the Mimosa Grill.
I’ll be blogging live from the DNC. Starting Tuesday, I’ll be blogging from the halls of the Time Warner Cable Arena. Democratic Party Chairman Debbie Wasserman Shultz and First Lady Michelle Obama will be speaking Tuesday, among others.
Here are some video highlights from the Sunday morning talk shows:
Vice President Biden in Wisconsin– LOL God love him!
PBO in Bolder, Colorado
I’m thoroughly, deliciously tired. I’ll hang out downtown tomorrow for CarolinaFest, take pics, and post them when I can.
YOU CAN WATCH THE CONVENTION ONLINE HERE.
And give Rikyrah & SG2 some love, while I’m gone, PLEASE. Thank you!
