    Obama has just landed in Charlotte. Speech will be in arena. Can assure you it has been moved due to weather, not lack of interest!

    I'm pretty sure all the barricades in Charlotte spawned last night and had baby barricades. #totalclampdown

    Time to head back to the convention center from the @ppldnc, where I had some much-need brownies and beer. Hoping this is not an odyssey.

    What I thought was a security checkpoint only led to Chris Matthews.

    There's a gavel, a teleprompter, a little light that goes from red to green, and a stress ball.

    Oh yeah, there's the back of Anderson Cooper's head. Can see the entire CNN babblefest from behind.

    240 years in a steel mill to make Romney money? Only lazy people would complain about that.

    I realize this speech is aimed at swing voters, but the welfare reform BS seriously undercuts the first part as far as I'm concerned.
