| 6:41 PM: | Determined to Give Speech, Kennedy Left Hospital Bed. Mr. Kennedy's aides described a harrowing 48-hour period in which it appeared that Mr. Kennedy would not be able to give the convention speech. NYT. | | |

| 5:57 PM: | Hillary Clinton speaks at convention. The press concocts a story. This newly manufactured media attack on Clinton is just the latest in a long line of press grenades thrown her way this year.

| 5:38 PM: | Convention Parties: Dancing to a Different Tune. Some have noted that this convention is one of the most disciplined and organized the Democratic party has put on: I confess my own expectations were rather low. But it's certainly clean and articulate, as Joe Biden might say. Denver is bright and shiny, the convention sprawls over acres but manages to still feel basically navigable, and someone upstairs has decided that mass-produced fake hand-made signs are not any more convincing than obviously mass-produced signs, thus adding a pleasing sense of -- dare I say it? -- unity to shots of the convention floor. CQ. | | |

| 4:10 PM: | Report: Bill Clinton To Accompany Wife to Convention Hall. A convention official tells the Atlantic's Ambinder that the former president will join his wife at the Pepsi Center Tuesday. Unclear whether he will appear on stage. Mark Halperin. | | |
| 4:07 PM: | Minneapolis cops confiscate cameras. Minneapolis police officers detained three activist filmmakers early this morning, and confiscated their video equipment. MPR. | | |
