Chris Mooney has his summary post up, in which he predictably and incorrectly declares victory for the forces of empty rhetoric, and Greg Laden correctly declares victory for the puppies and small children, which, of course, was our side.

Bwa ha ha ha! Thanks for the great laugh after getting back from my long drive just now.
I'm working on my analysis of the event, photos, audio, etc. It was nice to meet each of the panelists for the first (or second) time, and too bad I didn't have the time to stay for the reception afterward! There will be more chances, we're all in this for the long haul.
