NM Pop Politics

Last night after experiencing Sen. Ted Kennedy and Michelle Obama, I made my way to the Crown Plaza Hotel, where Gov. Bill Richardson was to be welcoming people to the Democratic National Convention. Unfortunately, I stumbled onto a deserted street lined with riot officers. The cops were keeping the media out, but I decided to investigate anyway.

Sure looks liked we’re living in a police state. But then again, everyone seemed quite calm and safe on the ground.

I did make it to the poolside reception later and even had a chance to finally meet Bill himself, but I’ll save that for another post.
