BTW, belated Happy B/day to Gov. Mike Huckabee!
Well, today is the day the Demoratic National Convention begins in Denver, though the way the media covered it this weekend you would have thought it had already begun.
Currently C-SPAN is televising their interfaith gathering.
C-SPAN2 is showing the 1948 convention with Harry Truman speaking. How different the times were.
