DENVER, CO (August 25, 2008) – Dale Kuehne, pastor of Emmanuel Covenant Church in Nashua, New Hampshire, is blogging throughout the Democratic and Republican conventions.
“More than political punditry,” Kuehne describes the blog as telling “the story of the convention, inside and out” as he travels to both the Democratic Convention, which kicks off today in Denver and runs through Thursday, and the Republican Convention in Minneapolis-St. Paul, September 1-4. Entries range from thoughtful considerations of issues and candidates to self-deprecating musings on how to act or what to wear at a convention. “I’m putting myself in the very capable hands of my children, and it seems that the only pieces of clothing I own that will work is a pair of black pants, my ‘Flying Fish’ Bono t-Shirt, and a trendy sport coat that somehow made its way into my closet,” he writes.
