Slog - Comments on Convention Bound http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/08/convention_bound At this moment next week, The Stranger will have three writers at the Democratic National Convention in Denver, bringing you all the drama, delegate intrigue, and free-booze-fueled pontificating that we can fit on the internets. That, I believe, will be more writers than any other Seattle publication will have in Denver—but hey, it's a heavy burden being Seattle's Only Newspaper™ and we're happy to do our part.

You learn something new every day.
