Dennis York tries to throw me to the sharks in St. Paul

Christian Schneider of Atomic Trousers made this lovely guest post for Wispolitics on his experiences thus far at the 2008 GOP Convention here in St. Paul - including an encounter with yours truly:

As Mike Schramm from WisPolitics and I tried to get to our bus, it was clear that we couldn't get anywhere near the convention center anymore. The police and protestors had filled in behind us, blocking our path back. We ran into Wisconsin's own Brad Vogel (of the Letters in Bottles Blog), who is going to law school in New Orleans, but figured he might as well evacuate to Minneapolis to escape Hurricane Gustav. He mentioned a group of protestors had just been maced a block over. We asked him if he could do us a favor and go get maced himself, so we could write a story and give it a local angle. He politely declined.

Oh it was very polite indeed.
