As I said on air, I had passes on the floor for the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia on Tuesday night. What a journey it was!  While it may have taken me a while to actually get IN to the convention, once we were in, we got to meet some New Jersey delegates, including Newark Mayor Ras Baraka and interview some Bernie Sanders supporters as well!

It wouldn't be me if I didn't live stream and Tweet the entire evening, including some fun photos I took with some of our NJ delegates at the convention. Follow my journey from trying to find my way in, to being down on the floor of the 2016 DNC below.

When you go to a convention, even one of the magnitude of the DNC, you never know what you'll see. No, this was NOT Comic Con!

We didn't exactly get a great start when we got to the DNC as we went the wrong way and wound up at the opposite end where we needed to be. We were turned around by secret service as there were specific entrances and of course, we weren't at them. Walking in stifling heat didn't help matters as you'll see below.

We got through security and we started to make our way towards getting our passes to enter the DNC convention. It probably comes as no surprise to anyone that while on our way to get our passes, I got sidetracked by the many food trucks that were parked in and around the Wells Fargo Center. I also considered it a win that I ran into NJ delegates such as Joe DiVincenzo and Frank Pallone, just to name a few.  Did I mention it was stifling hot out? The one good part was that we were much closer to being in much cooler temperatures.

We finally made it into the Wells Fargo Center! We weren't quite sure where our passes were going to let us go. We started out in the area with the delegations from Michigan and Minnesota and it took some navigating to get us over by our New Jersey delegates as you'll see below.

One person who I have been pretty hard on at times, is Newark Mayor Ras Baraka. He's doing a great job in Newark and not only did I him to take a photo with me, I even got him to do "The Point" as well.

From meeting Ras Baraka, to an awkward conversation with a Bernie Sanders supporter over fracking, being on the floor of the DNC was something to behold! Watch our walk through on the floor in the video below.
