Off to the convention

Well, my wife and I are off to the convention tomorrow, along with our good friend Ruby. Now, if I were a twitterer, I would tweet from the convention. I actually do have a a twitter account, which I never use. Consequently, other than my wife and one local Democrat, my only “followers” are random people, of whom I know nothing and who apparently know nothing about me, that declare their fealty and then apparently move on.

So, I’m going to try to go back to the dim and distant past and “live blog”. I’m going to see if I can do it with an Ipad, just because I have one, want to look cool, and want to see if it will work.

Speaking of the convention, can it be that after all his grandstanding, Merrick Alpert isn’t going to try to qualify for the ballot by petition? Even if the Blumenthal dustup moves some delegates toward him, he didn’t know that was going to happen, and it looks like he still lacks 15%. What made him think he had a chance before Blumenthal’s woes? If he lacks the money to do a petition drive, what makes him think he can mount an effective campaign against Linda McMahon?
