The first person we bumped into after the last update was Mike Dukakis:
But to be honest, I was more excited about meeting Joan Walsh:
The Admins show up on Hardball again:
Because after all, Hardball IS "the place for politics":
Good for MSNBC though -- the hats they were handing out are made in the USA:
And even more good news -- Abe Lincoln is voting for Obama:
So is Mosquito Lady:
Our lonesome Romney supporter was back again tonight, this time advertising his unfortunate masturbation habits:
Meanwhile, Skinner got a nice pic with DK:
Our free beer this evening was provided by the United Nations Foundation:
So at this point I'd like to say fuck Myrtle Beach! The UN rules!
We'll have one more update before the end of the night...
All of our DNC pics are in the DU DNC Journal.

(6,120 posts)Charles Kuralt and his siblings grew up in Charlotte where his father, Wallace Sr. was an early leader in what we now call Social Services. The Kuralt family helped raise helped raise millions of dollars to support the UNC Chapel Hill School of Social Work where their father attended. Another strong supporter of the SSW is Michael Jordam
Wallace Kuralt, Jr. was one of my closest friends (and a distant relative)

(54,437 posts)I ran into Dukakis 4 years ago. I was asked to hold an umbrella over his head to keep off the glaring sun. I once wavered, and the sunlight got on his neck for a second or two. I apologized. He cracked, "Don't worry. I'm Greek. I can handle the sun!"

This most recent sign is a real piece of unintentionally hilarous work....now we KNOW that all those GOP anti-stimulus types are nothing more than a bunch of smelly WANKERS!
