California tea party heavily favors GOP candidates
SACRAMENTO (AP) — California’s tea party activists frequently accuse outsiders of mischaracterizing their emerging movement as a combative arm of the GOP.
It was a hectic scene once again in South Korea’s paliament over the weekend. Another scuffle broke out between politicians, which seem to be getting more and more common. South Korean opposition party members clashed on Saturday with parliamentary security guards who tried to end a sit-in protest in the assembly building. More than 200 security guards stormed the rotunda where a large scuffle broke out. Local media said at least 11 protestors were injured during the confrontation. About 100 opposition party members from the Democratic Party and the Democratic Labour Party occupied a hall in the parliament. Their aim was to physically block the path to the main chamber. They want to stop the ruling Grand National Party—or GNP—in its attempt to push through certain parliamentary bills. The main opposition Democratic Party has called conservative President Lee Myung-bak and his GNP’s reform bills “evil.”

My objective at this party was to first, discover what advice my tech friends and associates had for the Democratic Party and Senator Barack Obama on the eve of the Democratic National Convention. Second, I wanted to capture what it was like to be at one of these events, and third, I wanted to connect with friends I have in the industry I’m in. Finally, thanks to Michael Arrington of TechCrunch for the opportunity to cover this event the way I did. Party Report (after the upload)
