Moving to breaking news - changing gears

For the most part, this morning's sessions were not blogged, as I took notes instead. My plan is to come back to this later and write. It is the kind of material that deserves to be considered carefully before commenting.

For this afternoon's sessions, I am shifting gears to a more pure blog form, coming from the gut and reporting what is going on and being said.

This is my vehicle for doing this.

Here we go.
