A roundup of some Democratic National Convention coverage, from friends DCist and Blue Mass Group:

Senator Kennedy defied reports that he would not speak at the DNC last night, almost upstaging Michelle Obama with his calls to action and achievement. Below are some excerpts from his speech.

Senator Edward Kennedy has arrived in Denver and is scheduled to attend the Democratic National Convention tonight, but probably will not speak to the crowd. However, a video tribute to Teddy's career will air.

DCist is in Denver for the Democratic National Convention, which kicks off tomorrow. DCist was too wiped out to attend last night's big Media Welcome Party at Elitch Gardens (though there's some evidence may not have gotten in anyway), but they can tell you that the city of Denver set off an impressive fireworks display over the big bash at around 9:30 p.m. Apart from the actual work of adopting a platform and officially selecting a nominee to run for president, party conventions are more or less one big advertisement, so reporters are treated to an endless parade of parties, meals, and goodie bags.
