I’m at the convention center for the Netroots Nations conference. Rick Noriega on a panel and strolling around visiting with all. John Thornton here. Folks seem happy with turnout and programming. Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to spend as much time here as I would have liked. Missed Howard Dean’s speech yesterday, though fortunate to have joined him and others at Chris Mattson’s & John McHale’s for dinner last night.
