At the last minute, a saint named Scott (more on him later) called us and offered tickets to the big speech at Invesco field.

We won't have internet access there, so instead of doing our usual liveblog, we will be offering tweets via our Twitter account.  Our most recent tweet will be featured in the blue box below, and you can use the arrows to flip back in time to see previous messages.

At the end of the night we'll transcribe all our tweets to this post, and upload images and video from the event, so check back!

UPDATE: See our entire Twitter transcript below the fold.

The committee charged with crafting the official Republican Party platform is wrapping up their work in Minneapolis this week, and they just dropped a bombshell. For the first time ever, the GOP platform will acknowledge that humans contribute to climate change. For those of you keeping score: that's Al Gore 1, The Omnipotence of God zero.

This is exciting news because Republicans have traditionally been loath to put any blame for global warming on human activity, especially industry or automobile emissions. In fact, the 2004 party platform didn't mention climate change at all, opting instead for a lengthy condemnation of gay marriage. However, with maverick John McCain at the helm the Republicans are finally loosening up on the issue of the environment.

And the platform committee isn't done yet! Keep an eye out for the GOP's acknowledgements of the human role in the state of the economy, the tension in the Middle East, and slavery.
