Playing catch-up on DNC photos: Wednesday, part one

Better late than never, as I always say ... have a look at some images from Wednesday at the Democratic National Convention in Denver.

Blue Dog Democratic congressman Allen Boyd speaks to the Florida delegation breakfast.

Joe Garcia, congressional candidate from Florida's 25th District, addresses the delegates' breakfast.

18th District congressional candidate Annette Taddeo waits for her turn to speak to the delegates' breakfast.

Following breakfast, the Florida delegates cast their votes for the presidential nomination.

Not that you needed to see more pictures of this sucky blogger, but I just had to post this one of me with my all-time political hero, former Florida governor and U.S. senator Bob Graham.

Later, at a special lunch for Florida officeholders at the federal and state levels, Sen. Graham introduced us to Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.).

At the Florida luncheon: (l-r) Florida Progressive Coalition blogger and Progress Florida webmaster Ray Seaman, Sen. Bob Graham, Florida House Minority Leader and state Senate candidate Dan Gelber, state Rep. Loranne Ausley, and Ausley's husband Bill Hollimon.

Never let it be said that Kos (Markos Moulitsas Zuniga, pictured here) can't even give away his latest book. He gave stacks of them out to us at the Big Tent. (And he's wearing that button I liked so well, but never obtained.)

Cool senator, sucky blogger. Here I am with Sen. Jon Tester (D-Mont.).

The "security theatre" strategy was omnipresent in Denver -- police in full riot gear were everywhere, presumably to scare us out of protesting or utilizing our First Amendment rights. You can't tell from this picture, unfortunately, but the vehicle on which they are standing was decorated like a birthday cake and it said "Eat Me" on the side.

Interview with Jon Tester

I had the honor of conducting a video interview yesterday with Sen. Jon Tester of Montana. That's me asking the final question.

At the risk of stating the obvious: Jon Tester is teh cool.
