Live from Yakima: Media and Bloggers Here

A number of reporters and bloggers have arrived at the Yakima Convention Center for tonight's festivities (and, presumably, tomorrow's as well).

Besides the local TV news crews I mentioned earlier, the Seattle Post Intelligencer's Chris McGann is here, as is Leah Ward from the Yakima Herald-Republic and Sean Cockerham of the Tacoma News Tribune.

David Postman of the Seattle Times is supposed to be on his way here as well.

Bloggers here, besides myself, include Neal of Peace Tree Farm, and eventually, we'll be joined by Steve from MajorityRules and Jimmy from McCranium.

Excitement continues to build inside the convention center. Volunteers are cheerfully passing out "I Luv the Guv" stickers and buttons for just about every Democratic candidate imaginable. And sales for T-shirts and merchandise are brisk.

UPDATE: Just met a new blogger, Roger Erickson from the Kitsap Peninsula, who started his own blog last month.

UPDATE II: Ralph Thomas from the Seattle Times has arrived, as has Jim Camden of the Spokane Spokesman-Review.
