Dan has a lovely piece about blogging and observing the Convention. I find I have no coherent expectations about it or what I'll write about. I bounce from thinking that I'll react to the Big Speeches to reporting small anecdotes to reading the clips of Mailer's 1960s political coverage and thinking "Take away the talent and incredible insight, and what's he got that I don't got?" I can't even anticipate how cynical or filled with spirit I'll be; I am, after all, perfectly capable of crying at a good political speech. (It's hope that turns on the ol' waterworks. Gotta stay away from hope.) Posted
