democrattotheend's JournalAccording to David Shuster, no delegates are being allowed in with "No TPP" signs
From twitter:
@BernieSanders delegates say they've been warned "no access" to hall tonight if carrying anti-TPP signs.
I don't know how I feel about this. I have no problem with people carrying protest signs and I don't like the idea of banning Bernie delegates en mass because of a few loudmouths. But given how disruptive they have been the last few nights I can understand why the DNC is doing this. That said, I am afraid taking away people's signs will just lead to more vocal protests. I would rather people carry signs than heckle.
Tim Kaine Admits He Was a "Lousy Governor" - of New Jersey
Kaine, who served as governor of Virginia from 2006-2010, noted that point before taking another backhand swipe at the Republican nominee.
"But look, basic civics, 50 states. You have to give a guy a break who's only into politics the last few months and not that well-informed," the Virginia senator quipped.

POLL: Clinton up 9 (and at 50%!) in Pennsylvania
Clinton 50%, Trump 41%
When Johnson and Stein are included, she is still up 9: Clinton 46, Trump 37, Johnson 5, Stein 3

This is a little bit of comfort, at least. I still don't understand why she is not up 20 points everywhere.
CNN: How Obama made some anti-Trump Republicans jealous
A delicious collection of tweets by conservatives disillusioned with Trump and jealous that we have such an awesome advocate on our side.
This is my favorite one:
Erick Erickson
@EWErickson
I started the evening saying for the first time I thought Trump could win. Then Obama spoke. Im so angry at my own party right now.

The only downside of this for Hillary is that she now has to follow Barack Obama
I don't think too many public speakers want to do that.
Apparently the "no more wars" chanting was started by the Oregon delegation
Oregon is a closed primary state. So I don't see why people think that closing our primaries is the answer to avoiding disruptive delegates. The delegates who shouted down Panetta were registered Democrats.
Kaine: "We all should feel the Bern, and we all should want to not get burned by the other guy"
Great line!
If it's any consolation, NPR isn't talking about the protestors
They are talking about Biden's speech and about people yelling "USA". Somehow they haven't really picked up on the fact that the "USA" chant was probably to drown out protestors. They are talking about Democrats taking back the patriotism label.
What are they yelling now?
I can't even hear what they are yelling, but this is downright rude. They need to start ejecting disruptors.
At least nobody heckled when Biden was talking about Beau
If they had done that I would know they were plants.
