NJ's Convention Line-up

The good folks at National Journal and The Hotline are hosting a series of terrific panels and lunches -- with party newsmakers galore -- in Denver and Minneapolis/St. Paul. I'll be live blogging the events, which will be moderated by Atlantic Media political director Ron Brownstein, The Hotline's Amy Walter, and the one and only Charlie Cook.

Full (tentative) schedule -- with featured guests -- available after the jump.

Also, check On Call often in coming weeks for on-the-ground news and observations from the staff of The Hotline and, of course, for our live blogs of each convention eve's speeches.
