Watch The Democratic National Convention Live [Video]


A week after Mitt Romney, Paul Ryan, and Clint Eastwood gave their speeches at the Republican National Convention in Tampa, President Obama, Betty White, and Kal Penn are getting ready to hit the stage at the 2012 Democratic National Convention (DNC) in Charlotte, North Carolina.

The DNC, like the RNC, will be broadcast live through various channels. YouTube and Ustream will both have live video from the Democratic Convention. BarackObama.com and DemConvention.com/Live will also be broadcasting live from Charlotte.

You can also watch the convention on your phone with the Democratic National Convention Committee Mobile App. The convention will also be streamed simultaneously in Spanish.

Obama For America Deputy Campaign Manager Stephanie Cutter said:

“We are revolutionizing the way political conventions are done by making Charlotte 2012 more open, accessible and relevant to the American people… This is one more innovative and unprecedented way we are engaging every supporter in the President’s vision for moving America forward, empowering voters all over the country to get involved with what’s happening in North Carolina this week, and growing our organization at the grassroots level.”

In addition to the live coverage, the DNC will also include a we-only event hosted by Kal Penn. Live From Charlotte will kick off on September 6 at 8 pm EST. The web-only program will include interviews with campaign officials and celebrities like Marc Anthony, Elizabeth Banks, Aisha Tyler, Olivia Wilde, Fran Drescher, Zach Braff, and Alexis Bledel.
