I’m back at bloggers row where:

• I’ve been interviewed by Channel 5
• I’ve interviewed Senator Frist (again), who isn’t concerned with the results of tomorrow’s straw poll.
• I’ve arranged to potentially meet with Senator Allen in a few minutes.
• I’ve met people from the National Journal’s Hotline, who are covering this event heavily on their website and will be holding the straw poll tomorrow.
• I’m sitting next to a reporter from the Arkansas Democrat Gazette (the media center was full) and bloggers Alphapatriot and Rob Huddleston.

Fun times.

The latest:

• Trent Lott apparently accused Bill Frist of bring in busloads of people to fix the straw poll. Lott is here to endorse John McCain
• John McCain is apparently behind the effort I saw earlier at RedState, encouraging delegates to use the straw poll to write-in President Bush. He’s got people crawling all around the conference handing out “write-in Bush” stickers. Before I learned this effort came from McCain, I had been asking them them several times, directly, who they are with; they refused to tell me, saying they were just grassroots supporters of the President. But they’re from D.C.
• The Commercial Appeal’s marquee columnist, Wendi Thomas, is apparently leaving for the Baltimore Sun. We will believe it when we see it.

Some impressive updates by Rob: here, here, here and here.

Alphapatriot has hits here and here.

UPDATE: The CA confirms Wendi’s departure, and somebody’s already campaigning to take her spot.
