"The Times, They Are Cambiando"
What else is there to conclude when the Democratic National Convention Committee has decided to simulcast the Democratic Convention en Español:
DENVER – In keeping with its commitment to make the 2008 Democratic National Convention the most accessible and technologically-savvy event of its kind, the Democratic National Convention Committee (DNCC) announced today that Comcast Corporation will produce simultaneous, online streaming coverage of the Convention in Spanish at DemConvention.com and make available a broad range of Convention content through its signature On Demand service. The DNCC also announced that Comcast has been named the Convention’s Official Cable Television and Video-On-Demand (VOD) provider. . .To all those Latino bloggers crying rivers of tears because Obama wasn't reaching out to Latinos . . . I know a pretty good cheese to go with that whine.

It's about freaking time!
To be honest, I thought they were already. I'm kind of surprised and a little ashamed that they were so behind the times. Ah, well. That's good that they've finally caught up...I wonder if the Republicans have done the same?
Blue, I checked the GOP's website and there is nothing on it. Then again, they may do a "me too" and do it.
Not that I'm holding my breath until that happens, though.
