Now that the Democratic National Convention is over, Xpress reporter Caitlin Byrd has rounded up tweets, photos, video and more from the local voices at the Democratic National Convention this week with Storify. These are their stories and experiences on the ground. Click below to experience the DNC through the photos, video and tweets of local media, delegates and politicians. The post is divided chronologically into each convention day.
We share your inclination to get the whole story. For the past 25 years, Xpress has been committed to in-depth, balanced reporting about the greater Asheville area. We want everyone to have access to our stories. That’s a big part of why we've never charged for the paper or put up a paywall.
We’re pretty sure that you know journalism faces big challenges these days. Advertising no longer pays the whole cost. Media outlets around the country are asking their readers to chip in. Xpress needs help, too. We hope you’ll consider signing up to be a member of Xpress. For as little as $5 a month — the cost of a craft beer or kombucha — you can help keep local journalism strong. It only takes a moment.
Before you comment
The comments section is here to provide a platform for civil dialogue on the issues we face together as a local community. Xpress is committed to offering this platform for all voices, but when the tone of the discussion gets nasty or strays off topic, we believe many people choose not to participate. Xpress editors are determined to moderate comments to ensure a constructive interchange is maintained. All comments judged not to be in keeping with the spirit of civil discourse will be removed and repeat violators will be banned. See here for our terms of service. Thank you for being part of this effort to promote respectful discussion.
WHY did Obama NOT mention Unemployment NOR ObamaCare in his speech last night???
Isnt that rather inexplicable?
only repubs call it “ObamaCare”
Yesterday was the 1 year anniversary of the SOLYNDRA
Co. FAILURE…WHY didnt Obama mention it?
Why do you hide behind a stupid moniker?
Why didn’t Mitt Romney mention his sacred morman underwear?
Why didn’t Romney mention Dick Armey, who repealed Glass Steagall and caused the recession?
Why is the moon blue sometimes, but not blue most of the time?
