The Hardball Briefing On MSNBC
------------------------------------------------------
Tune to MSNBC tonight from 6 pm to 2 am ET for all your DNC Convention needs. In fact,
why not just go ahead and tune in right now.
So I was heading to the dock at the Boston Harbor waterfront behind my hotel this
morning when I see a bunch of secret service types and a big boat. I figured someone
important, maybe the Governor of New Jersey, was arriving. Turns out Kerry was on his
way from the airport to take the water taxi over to Charlestown Naval Yard
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/5538024/ for his big "splash" arrival in Beantown. It was
pretty cool to see Kerry kickin' it at the location where I was jogging this morning
and catching the water taxi. Shuster was over covering his landing for the network
and is supposed to blog on it
Tonight's a big night as they do the traditional roll call of states announcing their
number of delegates plus Edwards' big speech. My colleague Brian Doherty checks in
from the Democratic "Tong" with this disturbing piece of news: "This will not be a
typical VP convention speech. There will be no mention of Bush or Cheney. It's
Edwards view that we can get into the issues that are important to the American people
without personal attack. He won't get into personal invective." How boring. By the
way, The Tong (hotlink to
http://www.m-w.com/cgi-bin/dictionary?book=Dictionary&va=tong) is the nickname for the
private briefing the Kerry camp gives to each television network during the day to
push its daily message and goals for the night.
Going through our rundown tonight it appears we have another wingding of a show lined
up...(More after the Jump to our blog)
