Heh. Technology!

And an important room, where “just bloggers” will do the job that “real journalists” don’t want to do.

Of course, that’s it for now. As Twitchy reported this weekend, the convention is to just gavel in and then go into recess, due to Tropical Storm Isaac concerns. So, what’s next? Luke Russert reports:

Overheard on RNC floor, Delegate 1: "what do we do now?" Delegate 2, "everything is cancelled. Hotel bar"? #GOP2012

Ha! Have one for us, y’all!
