LIVE from Denver: Congressman McDermott in the Big Tent

Jim McDermott just stopped by the Big Tent to chat with local bloggers. He was his usual jovial self. I also saw Deborah Senn.

It's nice to have distinguished elected officials visit with bloggers from their home states. It's been happening all day, as long as they are able to go through the desk and obtain a pass to get in.

Several times today I have been asked to show my blogger credential and I did see a former North Carolina Congressman turned away.

Space in the Big Tent is limited, and although the security isn't as tight as the PepsiCenter's, we have checkpoints here too.

This is a short post, but I'll add more if any other "locals" are spotted. It's time to get out into the sunlight.
