Here's a picture we took last night, of absolutely nobody in line to see the liberal Joe Lieberman lecture Republicans at the convention. Seriously, this was at about 8 p.m. local time, at the main entrance/security checkpoint, before Fred Thompson or Lieberman gave their speeches.

The Xcel Center was about one-third empty, too. And then that chubby TSA fellow in the white beard came huffing and puffing over to tell us we couldn't take pictures of the empty line. Much livelier tonight, three days into the four-day convention -- but there are still hundreds, maybe a couple of thousand seats open. Remember, old liberal ladies would KILL YOU TO DEATH if you even thought of finding a seat at the DNC at night.
