I spent the day covering the Netroots Nation convention for the Postcards from the Lege blog (my entries are the ones that totally sound like they don’t belong there).
Unexpectedly, I got to meet Obama Girl. You can read the story of how this video was almost thwarted over there, or just watch the video itself here:
See how she starts looking away for someone else to talk to? I just don’t think she was that into me.
Guess which one’s the print journalist and which one’s the lusted-after Internet sensation.

I kept waiting for some sort of intelligent comment from OG.
Waiting.
Oh, well, nice try, Omar, it wasn't from your lack of trying! :)
