I have to admit that I’m a little disappointed that three days in to this I haven’t seen any Molotov cocktails, police beatings, tear gas, or plastic handcuffs being used(particularly where desis were involved). I think Ravi and I would have loved to have interviewed a desi protester if we had found one. The only thing I have seen thus far have been some extreme “anti-sinners” and a few anti-abortion trucks with shock-value images on their sides driving around town. As expected, there were several pro-immigrant groups carrying signs around, but this was a friendly crowd. As for me, I picked up a button from the CNN booth that I proudly started wearing around town to announce the issue I support.

Say it loud, say it proud.
I once met an extreme aunti-sinner. Jalebis, whip cream, hand cuffs. you name it.
I understand the irreverent tone of SM but this flippant disappointment over the lack of an opportunity for blogger street cred was a bit much for me!
Having said that, congratulations on your participation. After following the DNC all week from my couch, I am truly jealous you were there.
