So, we're still ironing out some kinks with this new liveblog system stuff. Marcus Tullius was clever enough to set up an email account for us to use: liveblogdkos at gmail.com
Suggestions (even nerds like us can't keep up with everything C-SPAN does), flames, tips, liveblogging logistics, etc. - that email addy is the cat-herding clearinghouse.
