Air America announces convention schedule

WE'VE MOVED! Democratic Convention Watch is now at http://www.DemocraticConventionWatch.com


I'm just glad they're not sending that hack Lionel to Denver. Could he be any worse? They say he's going to Minneapolis and not St. Paul (see Matt's post from last night)

AIR AMERICA ANNOUNCES CONVENTION COVERAGE:
"A VOICE we can believe in"

NEW YORK -- Air America Media (www.airamerica.com) is traveling to both the Democratic National Convention in Denver, and, yes, the Republican National Convention in Minneapolis.
