4:19 p.m. update -- More pictures at bottom. (end)

Scroll down for links to live feeds and pictures, but here's some audio from today's happenings at the DFL convention in Rochester.

Russ Feingold's keynote address

Steve Kelley's speech

Becky Lourey's speech

Mike Hatch's speech

Tim Baylor's (Lt. Gov candidate for Lourey) speech

Thanks to Phil Picardi, who is the hardest working person at MPR today, for isolating these.

Here's a picture of Hatch giving his speech.

Mark Dayton speaks to the delegates.

After their speeches, the candidates did the usual quesiton-and-answer thing. I don't know who the moderator of the deal was but he sure looks like Penn Gillette. I assume it's not Penn Gillette.

Becky Lourey announces she's dropping out of the endorsement battle. She'll run in the primary in September.

Mike Hatch moves in for the kill.

These photos, by the way, are courtesy of MPR reporters Tom Scheck and Mark Zdechlik who are reporting live on the MPR broadcast while snapping some pictures. They never forget their online Polinaut pal.

That's Tom Scheck who just spent 5 months working early mornings and late nights to cover the Legislature, and has spent the last two weekends working late nights and early mornings covering the political conventions. Oh yeah, Mike Hatch won the endorsement; that's him on the left talking on that newfangled radio thing.

I think that is Ole Savior, not the moderator!

Oh, yeah, Ole Savior. How can I ever forget Ole Savior?

Do you happen to have a clip of Patty Wetterling's address to the DFL convention?

I started looking around for it, after I read your note about her delivery on your site. I know I dumped a big raw feed of the podium audio this morning (need to create space on the sserver) but maybe someone's got it tucked around somewhere.
