Our two weeks on the road at the conventions were an amazing experience. Here are the best moments captured by my BlackBerry in Charlotte.
Welcome to the DNC, Morning Joe!

Morning Joe sand castle sculpted by our friends in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.
Making a stop at my home state inside the convention hall.

First day on the set and Jeff Bridges gives us his version of a White Russian, the drink he made famous in The Big Lebowski.

Andrea Mitchell and Fmr. Secy. of State Madeleine Albright join Joe and Mika on set at the BlackFinn in Charlotte.

Such a great on air celebration of my birthday. And the cake was delicious!

On the heels of Apple big patent lawsuit victory...Apple hires Neil Diamond to perform at the afterglow party. Sings Sam Sun Blue....Everybody had one. Sam Sung Blue...Oh, what payout fun.
Talking heels. Alaska's Sarah Palin arrives on set, unannounced. Why? She heard that fresh, tasty star bucks giving pole samples...ooops, I mean poll sampling.
