Tuesday in Denver

Protestors walking down the street in downtown Denver. There were maybe 100 of them. These were the extreme Hillary supporters seeking to be heard. Media types played on this issue and made it bigger than it ever was. The delegations made it clear that the vast majority were not joining this small group. But to see them marching was rather fascinating.



At the parks downtown, other protesters gathered (name your favorite subject, they were probably there). The police were ready to handle any problems that may arise.



The Washington Post's Dana Milbank.



Mo Rocca - regular on NPR's Wait Wait...Don't Tell Me, NBC's Tonight Show with Jay Leno, MSNBC's Countdown with Keith Olbermann, and a contributor to Comedy Central's The Daily Show.



Deidre Hall, long-time actress on NBC's "Days of our Lives" (and to really date myself, I first remember watching her as a little girl on Saturday mornings in "Electra Woman and Dyna Girl").



NBC's Andrea Mitchell, getting ready to go on the air. (On a side note, Andrea ended up sitting with the Nebraska delegation for the last half of Obama's acceptance speech on Thursday night, when the fire marshalls were ready to start kicking people out standing and blocking the aisles. She thought we were very nice to make room for her, to which I responded: "We're from Nebraska. That's how we are.")



I thought the t-shirts these women were wearing were noteworthy!



Senator Barbara Boxer speaking to the convention.



That's me with Joe Scarborough, former Republican Congressman from Florida, and host of MSNBC's Morning Joe. Needless to say, despite the fact I don't always agree with him, I'm a major fan!



Dennis Kucinich's wife, Elizabeth.



NDP's hardworking staffer, and the woman who took care of all the delegates, Clara Blankenbiller.



House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer.



Congressman John Lewis signing a poster for Nebraska delegate Terry Werner.



Lilly Ledbetter addresses the convention. This amazing woman has fought for equal pay for women. A bill passed in the House last year, but got blocked from further progress by Senate Republicans (so much for "up or down" votes).

Former Virginia Governor and current US Senate Candidate, Mark Warner, addressing the convention.



Nebraska Delegates and guests enjoying the convention!



Okay, tried to mark this picture to point out 3 different things:
1. Howard Fineman (Newsweek, MSNBC)
2. British Actor Stuart Townsend and Oscar Winner Charlise Theron
3. President Bill Clinton



Another view.



And another.



Senator Hillary Clinton gets a huge, very warm reception from the delegates.

What a way to end the night!
