Bloggers converge on Denver, and here's what some of them are talking about:

• Celtic Diva's Blue Oasis (Alaska) on the Media Welcome Party

• Everyday Citizen (Kansas) asks about the youth vote at this morning's press conference

• Square State Net (Colorado) has more on this morning's press briefing

• DCIst (DC): Inside the DNC swag bag

• Turn Maine Blue (Maine, of course) has some interesting and entertaining first impressions

Progressive Illinois Politics (Illinois, of course) has an interesting answer to the question "what's the point of a political convention?" (hint: it's not to nominate a candidate)

• Jeralyn at Talk Left (general pool blogger) reports on the Cool Kids party

• Finally Square State Net (Colorado) has another report on the media welcome party

(Note: some of that last post squares (pun intended) with our experience so far in re. blogger credentials, i.e. some officials and event personnel are aware of "blogger credentials" and others aren't, and it creates some confusion from time to time. I'm sure it will all get sorted out, and everyone has been most helpful and welcoming so far.)
