Live blog: Sen. Barack Obama's speech at AP annual luncheon, Washington, DC

Your taking the time is such a great resource for us, Kim.  Having done it a few times in a row at WAM!, I know it can really be exhausting - I think anyway.

Thank you.

Prof. Kim. It's so hard top keep up with what's being said during a speech and to comment/blog also. You do a great job, and Cover It Live seems to be a pretty cool tool.

I didn't say it in my posts on V-Day, Part One ( http://www.blogher.com/practicing-presence-v-day ) and Part Two, ( http://www.blogher.com/new-orleans-vagina-america-... ) but Eve Ensler mentioned Barack Obama during the first day. If she mentioned any other candidate I didn't hear it. She said she likes his campaign because it seemed not to be quite as candidate-oriented but more about people wanting change and people being inspired to make change. I'm sure their are people who will disagree, but I still found it interesting. And I've read elsewhere that she doesn't want to be put in a box over how feminists should vote in this election, race vs. gender ( http://www.huffingtonpost.com/kimberle-crenshaw-an... ).

Her Obama comment drew applause from the nearly all-female audience.

I'm nearing burn-out on politics these day because of all the nastiness in this election so I've been pretty quiet about Obamarama and Hillary/Billary and McCain. It's draining, but I enjoyed scrolling through your coverage here. Keep up the good and hard work.
