DNC 2008
For the first time ever, The Santa Barbara Independent is reporting from the Democratic National Convention, which goes down in Denver August 25 to 28, 2008. Our reporters — namely staff writer Chris Meagher, delegate and former county supervisor Susan Rose, and Laguna Blanca High student body president Willy Chotzen-Freund — will be blogging ‘round the clock and writing feature articles about the blue donkey party on this page. And our in-house political expert Jerry Roberts will be keeping tabs on the convention from the comfort of his couch. Stay tuned to independent.com/dnc2008 for the latest.
