As I write this, I am watching the closing ceremonies of the 2008 summer games.  It is a little bittersweet.  I am a real summer games person, and I love watching the summer Olympics.  Then again, after two weeks and hundreds of hours, I am pretty much ready to be done with swimming, gymnastics, and running for a while. 

Of course, as soon as the Olympics close, a race of a different kind begins, with the Democratic Convention kicking off in Denver, to be followed quickly by the Republicans as the two month final sprint for the White House begins.

I just got an email from my friends at Buzzwire indicating that they are launching a new Democratic National Convention channel for your mobile phone (no word on whether a Republican National Convention Channel will follow.)

The new channel will provide special DNC coverage featuring reports from Barely Political’s Obama Girl, convention news updates from Political Lunch, man-on-the-street interviews and video from after-hours parties and hot spots around Denver.

Anyone with a video-enabled mobile phone can gain access to the special Buzzwire political channel through m.buzzwire.com on their phone or http://app.buzzwire.com on the web.
