C-SPAN liveblogging

AAAAAH!!!! It's John Kerry!!!! NOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!

(Ahem. The C-SPAN cameras found him in the crowd. I was momentarily traumatized. Flashbacks to 2004. "Reporting for duty," etc. Bleh.)

Er, anyway. Ted Kennedy is supposed to be making his big appearance in the next few minutes. It's unclear if he will actually speak. But apparently he'll at least be on stage.

TED-DY! TED-DY!

UPDATE, 9:16 PM: Caroline! ... She's not a terribly exciting speaker, is she? Or maybe she's just tired.

9:19 PM: "Teddy is your senator, too."

9:21 PM: Video tribute time. Teddy on stage next?

9:39 PM: Okay, I did a brief experiment with liveblogging via Twitter, but I decided it was annoying me. Here are the updates I posted:
