Greetings. Please pardon this commercial message, but I wanted to let you guys know that we are sending a reporting crew to both national political conventions. Whether you go directly to this blog, to the stltoday.com site or to stltoday.com/politics, you’ll be able to find our convention page, filled with the latest news from Denver and then St. Paul.

 We’ll have blog posts, of course, as well as stories, Twitter tweets, videos, podcasts, links to other bloggers and live chats with delegates. We are trying to give you and all our readers the very latest convention news, with a decidedly St. Louis regional perspective.

So keep reading starting this Sunday.  And if you have suggestions or questions, feel free to post here or send me an email at cave@post-dispatch.com.
