All work and no play

TREASURE ISLAND, Fla. — Oh, the things political reporters put up with to get the story.

It’s a wrap from the Republican National Convention here in the Tampa area, where I can assure our loyal readers much more time was spent on shuttle buses and getting wanded by Secret Service agents with magnetometers than foraging for sea shells.

Stay with us for wall-to-wall coverage of all the big races, the issues that matter most to voters and gossip, because no blog is complete without gossip.

Our man in Charlotte, N.C., next week for the Democratic National Convention will be David McCumber, Hearst Newspapers Washington bureau chief.
