The event has generated a bit of print media coverage along the way, too:

Think this might break out of the offline world and sink in this time? Kudos to ColorOfChange.org and Nas for giving it their best shot.

Of course, Fox News will be providing all of the inside-the-hall pool coverage of the Democratic National Convention. That can't be bad, can it?

Here's to the day when we're all on the same page, and our work is not undone by our own side. May it soon be here.
