Obama's Albuquerque Visit: Video Clips and More
Above are four video clips we shot at Barack Obama's meeting with working women at the Flying Star Commissary in Albuquerque yesterday. The first is a clip from his speech and the rest are from his question and answer session with participants. You can view the clips individually here. Also see our previous first-person account of this event, as well as our photo album on Flickr.
Santa Fe New Mexican reporter Kate Nash working away at Obama event
You can read Nash's article on the Obama visit here. Kate was by far the friendliest of the mainstream media folks at the event. Some others, especially a few of the TV folks, didn't seem too pleased to have their territory invaded by mere bloggers.

Leslie Linthicum's Journal article about the event and her interview with Obama is here. KOB-TV's Stuart Dyson has a video report here.
P.S If you'd like to help us provide better quality video and audio on DFNM, I hope you'll consider making a small donation so we can purchase better equipment we can use at future events.
Mary Ellen and I will be representing New Mexico at the Dem Convention in Denver in August as part of the DNC's State Blogger Corps. DFNM is credentialed for seating with our state delegation, right on the Convention floor, and we'll be live-blogging and providing extensive coverage of the event. We have to pay our own hotel and other travel costs (as well as provide our own tech equipment) -- an expensive proposition considering the pricing of accommodations in Denver during Convention week.

I think it's a hoot that Joe Alligator Monahan is holding forth in his post today being critical of the Obama event. He wasn't there. Joe must think it's ok to use heresay without admitting he wasn't in the room.
He also makes an inaccurate claim that his blog is "the Southwest's #1 political blog." The traffic at his site is nowhere near other political bloggers in New Mexico. If he wants to make this claim he should make his hit report public. I won't hold my breath.

Good to see bloggers getting into events like this. It's about time.
I was impressed with Obama's remarks to the women at the meeting and I'm glad that Denish is finally supporting him.
