I'm in Denver driving from the airport, and man in the drive flat. I ran into Sam Powers and Cass Sunstein in the airport. He was selling 'Nudge' at the bookstore and she was taking pictures and selling the book like an extremely proud doting wife/publicist. It was adorable. I got some video but nothing that interesting; Sustein demurred when I asked him some of the more controversial questions. When I asked him about why he labeled Rahm Emanuel a 'liberal Democrat' he said that it was probably not accurate but he needed to balance him against the conservative Rick Santorum. Sunstein also bristled at Matt Yglesias's characterization of his recent paper on climate change and wants to meet up with him/confront him. I also saw Pat Leahy wheeling luggage. There's some sweet subpoena star power here.
And in case you had any illusions, the convention is brought to you by the nice folks selling clean coal, who happily greeted us in the airport.
