There's going to be lots of good coverage to link to from bloggers at the RNC convention, so rather than do a post on every single one of them I'm going to update this post throughout the day as I find convention-related items of interest.

To kick things off, Matt Margolis of Blogs for Bush has a terriffic audio interview with former NY mayor Ed Koch.

Update:

It would seem as though Bush is getting a nice pre-convention bounce (via LGF):

Election Projection - The Republican National Convention begins tomorrow in the midst of a pretty substantial "pre-convention" bounce for the President. His ever-improving job approval and the toll those Swift Boat Veterans for Truth ads are taking on Kerry's numbers have pushed Bush into the lead in this week's Election Projection. For the first time in months, Bush is actually projected to take a state Al Gore won in 2000. Thanks to some recent state polling numbers, Wisconsin is now colored red. New Hampshire remains a problem for Bush, though, as state polls continue to show Senator Kerry with a pretty good lead there even though national numbers alone indicate Bush should be ahead.

So, the final projection before the Republican National Convention is here. The President leads the Senator 284-254 and even has the advantage in the popular vote, 49.2% - 48.9%.


Update 2:

Loaded Mouth (via In Search of Utopia) has some interesting photos up of more Bush-hatred among the protesters.

Update 3:

Rich Lowry from National Review details his experience with the protesters:

Near the end of the march there was a guy standing in the middle of the street doing brisk business in T-shirts with Bush officials' names spelled with Swastikas. "Do you really think Rumsfeld is a Nazi?" I asked, since he was wearing a Rumsfeld shirt with the S as a Swastika. "Oh, yes," he said, "absolutely."

He was briefly distracted by someone asking for a small in one of the shirts -- I didn't catch which -- and he had to say, "Sorry, that's all out in the baby-T." Then, he was ready to address my question again. He explained that Rumsfeld wasn't taking responsibility for Abu Ghraib, speaking to "a type of arrogance that is fascist."

He had shirts with Condoleezza's name spelled with two Swastikas. "Is Condoleezza a Nazi?" I asked. He thought for a moment: "Condoleezza? Mmmmm. Not so much."

She is, I guess, only partly a Nazi, which is still enough to render her name in double Swastikas. And so it went at the peace march.

I'll tell you one thing, what these protesters lack in coherence they make up for in class. Nice job fellas, you'll sure swing a lot of votes with that picture of Bush with Jesus coming out of his weiner.
