No Runny Eggs

We had some video, and there’s the start. Jeff Kropf started off his show with Sen. Jeff Colburn.

The rest of the folks in the house (will be updated as the room fills)…

American Infidels Company
Dry Fly Politics/The Mitt Report (doing double-duty)
Fox Politics (in fact, the lovely and talented Jo is sitting to my right on Bloggers’ Row)
GayPatriot
Human Events
KSKY (660 AM out of Dallas/Ft. Worth)
Leslie (sitting next to Fred; the second half of the double-barrel is going to be starting up presently)
PajamasMedia
Real Debate Wisconsin (Fred’s on the other table)
Right Angle Blog
The Sam Adams Alliance
Jim Geraghrty from National Review, who got shunted into the China Room (sorry about the misspell; D’OH!!!)
Mary Katharine Ham (the heavy hitters are now in the house)
Too many more to list, but Fred’s got most of them.

Vicki McKenna will be broadcasting the Milwaukee half of her show live from here as well, along with Jeff Kropf, 750 KXL out of Portland, Oregon.

Mini-pool television crew here (CBS/ABC/Fox; NBC and CNN aren’t here, and add Nippon Television Network as well as CNN). XM and MetroNetworks are doing radio coverage. AP’s doing the wire thing.

FINALLY, we’re live from the Mayflower in DC. The flight in was good, the Metro is pretty fouled up (even though Sean and Kevin swear by it), and incredibly, the Mayflower has neither wireless in the rooms nor free Internet.

Very quick summary of yesterday:
– We had a pretty good contingent on Midwest on the way out. It was a grease-job on the landing (about what I’d expect out of AB).
– The hotel wasn’t ready when we finally got in (instead of taking a couple cabs, we decided to try to take the Metro). Needless to say, Fred missed the White House briefing.
– Speaking of the Mayflower, they have neither wireless nor free Internet in the rooms. That explains a lack of posts yesterday.
– Traffic is about as bad as downtown Chicago (which tells you why Sean and Kevin both use the Metro).
– Sen. John McCain had a decent speech, though he hated a bit too much on the economy.
– Sen. Jim DeMint is a great speaker.
– Drinking Right East Coast with Sean and Kevin was a blast. Fred’s got a page full of random quotes, including one about the $7 Heineken at the hotel bar, ready to go.
