Tuesday Morning Open Thread

Good morning.


Last night, when I got back from the convention, the radio in my room was set to the BBC channel. I haven't listened to the BBC for awhile. When the Iraq war started, I watched BBC TV because it was so much more bearable and newsworthy than the jingoism from the U.S. networks. It's so pleasant listening to the news on BBC. They're not hysterical. They don't have all the painful pundits.

Tonight is Hillary Clinton's night at the convention. There has certainly been a lot of buzz about her. I've been wandering around Denver for a couple days now and haven't seen any sign of the PUMAs -- the diehards who purport to support Hillary, but are really just a bunch of media hogs and losers. From my vantage point here in Denver, it feels like the hype has been overblown. (Via Jed, Chuck Todd thinks so, too.) The folks I know who supported Hillary -- and a lot of them are here -- want a Democrat to win in November.

We'll have updates as events unfold.

So start threading the news...
