"Montel Williams at the palm for private Obama camp ... Everyone at the palm is ignoring dinner partners and bberrying (I'm looking at you Luntz) ... Sean Penn grabbing a bite at palace arms in brown palace. " (TVNewser)
"One of the hottest tickets on Tuesday night was a poker game -- for no money. Ben Affleck, Sara Silverman and Seth Myers were among those who shelled out at least $500 for a seat at one of 20 tables on the Club Level of Coors Field. Sponsored by the Poker Players Alliance, the event benefited the Paralyzed Veterans of America. And everyone was happy to hold forth on politics and entertainment -- except Affleck, who remained steadfast in his refusal to discuss the campaign with media. When asked what he'd be doing in Denver this week, he told reporters, 'You're looking at my involvement,' as he fiddled nervously with his chips." (DCExaminer)
"We walked into 5 Degrees, a hip downtown Denver dance club near the Pepsi Center, and the first thing I saw were Sean Penn’s angry eyes." (DMagazine)

"The night’s theme, 'Securing America’s Future,' suggests Biden, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, will flex his foreign policy muscle inside the convention hall ...

Democrats, Carville said, are 'playing hide-the-message pretty good' at the convention." (WSJ)

"Ted Stevens, the frightening and corrupt old man who has been a senator from Alaska since before Alaska was invented, managed to win the Republican primary even though he is currently under indictment for something dreadful involving home renovations. Stevens defeated six challengers, so now he has a chance to lose to the mayor of Anchorage in the general." (Wonkette via NYTimes)
" I adore Jon Stewart. A huge demographic of the country adores Jon Stewart ... And the reason that so many people adore Jon Stewart the decency, honesty and intelligence he projects. And though he's famously loathe to admit it, I think he knows this. And -- in that breakfast meeting at least -- he seemed to use that understanding as an opportunity to speak from a position of authority to the main authorities of journalism .. This, to me, seemed to be Jon Stewart's heartfelt beg to the information carriers to live up to their responsibilities. And, from my vantage point, those in attendance seemed comfortable with the room's dynamic. They seemed eager to glean from Stewart whatever the secrets to whatever magic it is that gives him the right to speak to them with such authority." (DailyShowBlog)
"Almost 26 million watched 10pm hour (Hillary Clinton speech) of convention coverage." (BrianStelter)
