Jesse and I are at the Pepsi Center for the first night of the DNC.  Right now a video tribute to Senator Ted Kennedy is playing.  We were lucky to grab a couple of rotating floor passes right when we got to the media filing center.  As we were walking past an entrance, they tightened security.  A motercade was there, and who steps out?  Senator Ted Kennedy.  Whether or not he'll speak is still unknown, but he's definitely here!

UPDATE:  Senator Kennedy is speaking now.  He says, "I promise you that next January I will be there."

UPDATE 2:  Sen. Kennedy exits the DNC stage to a recording of "Still the One" by Orleans.
