Want more? The Big Tent's website has a comprehensive list of participating blogs that are covering the convention from Wynkoop Street.

A few delegates are blogging at the state party's website. Susan Levine, an Obama delegate, blogged about this morning's breakfast experience earlier today.

Gov. Napolitano: doing a great job pumping us up - including talking about the need to assume that John McCain will lead us in more misunderstatements. She also, comically, talked about how most Arizonans have 1 home. In fact - there is no Governor’s mansion. Instead, there’s a Governor's condo.

Gov. Howard Dean: emphasizing the need for turnout in the east side of WA state in order to help Gov. Gregoire win.

Rep. Jay Inslee: sharing that he’s willing to do everything needed to help Dems win across the state. Keying in on that John McCain was AWOL on biggest energy vote for clean energy. Shared a lot of other examples of how to create Green energy. Republicans saying that clean energy is a pipe dream is a complete lie. Use “Susan Petty” as an example - who is on Greenlake inventing new ways to generate energy. Then introduced Apollo Alliance.
