(Tom Suozzi)

Tom Suozzi has made it his mission to clean up Albany, due to his efforts the New York Delegation decided to exclude him from the Convention. Suozzi has not let this stop him; he has made his own way to Boston. In addition, U.S. Senator Saxby Chambliss, R-Ga., the man who defeated Max Cleland, comments on the action in Boston.

Coming Up Tonight: Black Eyed Peas!

Yes, we got a preview of tonight's musical component--a seriously thumping tune by Black Eyed Peas, which got what appeared to be 90% of the on-hand press onto the convention floor

Where is the love? Right here in the Fleet Center!

Day three begins and our base at booth 56, which Brian has often described as 'six feet by six', is rapidly expanding...

[Night and Day]

One of the things we've been noticing while doing our regular morning show and an evening show is the difference between day and night here at Fleet.

DAY
musical acts practicing on the podium
no people in silly outfits
no politicians milling around
Dunkin' Donuts closed

C'mon guys, follow your lines on the TeleprompTer!

NIGHT
floor passes hard to come by
lots of people in silly outfits
top politicians suddenly appear out of nowhere
Dunkin' Donuts open and doing a roaring business

Senator Clinton ambushed by the cameras in front of a bathroom. Her suit matches the walls.

Take one step closer, Jesse, and you're dead meat!
