But the start-times of the parties should give you some indication.

Without the stupid talking heads.

No commercials either.

While you Seattlites "celebrate" Obama in your all-white hoity-toidy neighborhoods, we in the 47th District Republicans will be having our picnic at Morrill Meadows Park on Kent East Hill.

Spitfire has been very good to me for political coverage. They played all of the MSNBC democratic primary debates there with the sound on in the main room. Great happy hour too.

Sadly I'm in Canada, Vancouver for the week without TV access. Bless you CPAN streaming feed, bless you.

A picnic in the rain? What about the cake?

God - it is the Bush years all over.

Speech is at 7pm pacific time.

An estimated 67% of presumed attendees are non-white, or, as poster John Bailo's familiars are perhaps accustomed to saying, "colored."
