OpinionTalk will be bubbling with convention chatter for the next two weeks as Matt Rogers, a farmer from Kingsburg, and Derek Walter, a freelance writer and college teacher from Fresno, post their observations of the two national political conventions.
Matt, who has worked on Hillary Clinton's campaign, is one of three Democratic delegates from the 21st Congressional District. He will post entries beginning Sunday from the Democratic National Convention in Denver. The convention begins Monday, but the delegate partying begins on Sunday.
The following week, Derek, an alternate Republican delegate and Fresno County chairman of the John McCain 2008 campaign, will write from the Republican National Convention in St. Paul, Minn.
Look for their insider view of the conventions beginning Sunday by going to our Opinion Talk blog on fresnobee.com/opinion.
