More media interviews

All of us do multiple media interviews each night, but it is becoming apparent that a lot of what gets recorded does not get used. Tonight I was interviewed by German television, XM Satellite radio and HKS Network (Harvard Kennedy School students?), in addition to WSYR TV and WSYR radio in Syracuse, and WRVO Oswego. The Entertainment Tonight footage from yesterday apparently never aired, and neither did the Daily Show interview. We are constantly on camera, but it is difficult to tell if it is the the pool feed, a local Denver TV station, or something else.

As we were walking out of the Pepsi center for the last time, a delegate from California lamented that all the attention from the press is somewhat addictive, and wondered what he would do when he got back home and no one any longer cared about his opinion(!) There is definitely an unreal feeling to the entire experience.

While I write this in the hotel lobby, former California Governor Gray Davis is waiting in line across from me at the desk for something or other...
