Live From the DNC, With a Maryland Perspective

Mitch Case and Caitlyn Leiter-Mason are blogging about their experiences as Maryland delegates.

 

Buttons, bureaucrats and behind-the-scenes banter make up the meat of A Tale of Two Delegates, a tumblr page run by two Maryland delegates to the Democratic National Convention. 

The page's authors, Mitch Case, of Ellicott City, and Caitlyn Leiter-Mason, of Frederick, give readers a glimpse of convention activity, including spotting political leaders.
