Democratic National Convention Schedule, TV Highlights and Protest Coverage

DNC TV Coverage 2008

The reasons for seeking the Democratic National Convention schedule are as varied as the voters. Americans will largely be turning into the Democratic National Convention TV coverage to learn more about what Senators Barack Obama (D-Ill.) and his running mate Joe Biden (D-Del.) are about and to experience this historic event. Those hoping for party unity will be most focused on Senator Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.) as will her supporters. And, in an eleventh-hour surprise, we find that ailing Senator Edward Kennedy (D-Mass.) may appear at the Democratic National Convention on Monday night.

Then there are the channel-switching drama seekers anxious for coverage of any Democratic National Convention protests and upheaval -- not least being over the last minute decision to fully seat Florida and Michigan delegates. Welcome to American politics, silly season is over (mostly) and the real political games begin.
