TMV will be covering the Democratic Convention this week from outside the convention hall with posts by Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estes.
Her first two posts are here:
Democratic National Convention: Politics Makes Strange Beheadfellows Some Say
The Democratic National Convention: A Bit of Oz
NOTE: TMV tried for several months through various avenues (directly, indirectly, through bloggers, via emails) to get credentialed for the Democratic Convention with no luck. (Several progressive blogs have reportedly been issued several credentials for multiple bloggers). But we’re going to run posts from Denver anyway — written by someone outside the convention hall. FOOTNOTE: Except for being on email lists, no one from the DNC or the Obama campaign has ever gotten back to any of us at TMV.
THE BEST WAY TO READ OUR COVERAGE: Scroll down. But we’ll run at least one post with a link to our post or posts from Denver done earlier in the day.
