From the DNC: Why bloggers thrive

Monday, Aug. 25, 1:15 pm

It becomes abundantly clear why there are 8 zillion bloggers swarming like little gnats around downtown Denver this week. If ever there was an event made for blogging, it is a major party political convention. Capitol Weekly.

Because, in case you were wondering, there is no news here.

But there is plenty to see, to observe -- plenty of sketches to draw, snapshots to capture. There is no shortage of color. It's news that's in short supply.

Blogs are notorious for elevating the mundane. That's the only way to survive a week like this one in Denver.
