We’ve been going pretty much nonstop; I’ll have more to upload when we’re able to catch our breath.

Last night, we hung out at the Third Way party, where, among all the pencil-skirted Washingfemmes and black-suited lobbyists, we ran into a familiar Hoosier Republican.

Specifically, former Fort Wayne Mayor Paul Helmke, a gun control advocate who heads up the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence in Washington, D.C. He also ran against Indiana Sen. Evan Bayh in 1998.

Helmke said he was enjoying the convention and wouldn’t rule out a future run for office. The question, however, is whether he’d run as a Republican or a Democrat.

This time, with sound!

Indiana Secretary of State Todd Rokita says there are 500,000 new and updated voter registrations in Indiana.   Rokita says that brings the number of voters in the state to 4.4 million and there are still six weeks to go before voter registration ends.  More than 200,000 of those registrations are new voters.  In 2004, Indiana saw 565,000 new and updated registered voters.   A spokesman says they could get between 700,000 and 750,000 new and updated registered voters by the time voter registration ends in October.

Because it took us four hours to get Downtown, get my credentials and get back to the hotel, we didn’t make it to the Pepsi Center last night for Hillary Clinton’s party-unifying speech, but we caught it on television.

Great stuff, and just what the doctor ordered.

Clinton’s name will be ceremoniously placed in nomination this afternoon, a gesture that hopefully will bring additional closure to the bitter primary process.

As the week continues, the pace and the excitement are picking up, and people are buzzing with anticipation about Barack Obama’s big speech on Thursday night at Invesco Field.

We’ll be on hand this evening to hear Indiana Sen. Evan Bayh deliver remarks to the convention, and I’ll try to get video footage back to you. (I’m still having a ton of technical problems, but we’ll get it figured out. I promise we will.)

The biggest problem here remains the organization of the convention. Denver is a beautiful city, but in part because it’s so spread out, the convention has been difficult to navigate at times, and it’s organizers didn’t get every detail just right before we arrived.

Still, it’s a scene you don’t want to miss, and I’ll bring you more updates later today.
