Press events, the convention floor, the blogger lounge, the <a href="http://www.bigtentdenver.org">Big Tent</a>, <a href="http://momocrats.typepad.com/momocrats/2008/08/the-dnc-ca-cong.html">meetings with tea</a>, blogging with booze, parties with condoms, marches with Blues. I got a surprise offer for a Hall pass tonight to see Michelle Obama speak and as I approached the Pepsi Center, there were Cynematic and Sheila.<br /><br />With wireless coverage not as easy to find as one might hope, Twitter from mobile phones has been essential for getting across what was actually happening - from being in the middle of demonstrators to the convention hall, we've been tweeting our fingers off. So first stop for MOMocrats coverage outside of BlogHer: <a href="http://www.twitter.com/momocrats" title="http://www.twitter.com/momocrats">http://www.twitter.com/momocrats</a> and #momocrats. (See also: #dnc08.)<br /><br />Sunday, MOMocrats rolled by <a href="http://momocrats.typepad.com/momocrats/2008/08/michelle-obama.html">Michelle Obama's hybrid</a> (supposedly), along with picking up credentials, attending receptions, and getting settled in. Monday, MOMocrats continue to celebrate at <a href="http://momocrats.typepad.com/momocrats/2008/08/why-we-continue.html">women's events</a>, <a href="http://momocrats.typepad.com/momocrats/2008/08/anti-abortionis.html">defend free speech</a>, and <a href="http://momocrats.typepad.com/momocrats/2008/08/the-dnc-finally.html">confess patriotism</a>.<br /><br />When the prime time events began in the Pepsi Center, MOMocrats were there too - on the perimeter, inside, in the blogger lounge, and seated in the rear to take it all in. It was a phenomenal night seeing Michelle Obama - and her adorable children, along with a quick video cameo by Barack Obama. More to come...</p> <p><em><a href="http://www.sairy.com/">Sarah Granger</a> is blogging the DNCC for BlogHer, covering the experience of the MOMocrats, along with representing WomenCount, The Political Voices of Women, and the Silicon Valley Moms Blog. What a week!</em> </p> http://www.blogher.com/twitter-tear-gas-momocrats-take-denver-dncc#comments News &amp; Politics CONVENTIONS DEMOCRATS Election 2008 Hillary Clinton michelle obama MOMocrats nancy pelosi Tue, 26 Aug 2008 12:46:32 -0500 Sarah Granger 51989 at http://www.blogher.com
