No stories about troubles with their arrival at the gate, though.

Did they get coptered in, or what?

The sun came up hazy this morning, with the sky divided between blue and high clouds. It feels like a hot one coming on, in more ways than one

I got a call from the campsite at five thirty this morning. Apparently, fourteen white Secret Service SUVs went blasting up the road. It was almost certainly either a security shift change or augmentation, but it made all the demonstrators cat-nervous.

We are getting coffee and are on the way in.

Light dawns on marble head. Those fourteen SUVs that went by were probably Condi and Rummy running the gauntlet, or the press corps getting delivered to the Bush house.

We are back at the site. A large contingent of military families is coming in, and the camp press conference is in about two hours.

4. No prob
They didn't know for sure if Runny and Condosleeza were in those vehicles, but that's the guess.

8. Maybe they didn't know that they were about to go stand out in the middle
of nowhere. Maybe they thought it was going to be an indoor press conference??

10. Did you notice
how they had that press conference set up? * and his 'team' were all on one side of the road and the press was on the other side. I saw it on CNN but I can't find a picture to post here. It really looked strange.

9. They are there.
Reported on other threads. What I want to know is when the big GOP contributers attending the BBQ are going to arrive? I think we need pictures, lots of pictures.
