(3,710 posts)When I was very involved with the Democratic party in Florida, I personally had a major political reporter for a large Florida paper removed from the private reception and speeches involving several ranking members of the Democratic Party including the VP. The press was to have access later during the dinner speeches and this jerk snuck in with his credentials tucked under his coat. He knew better. I found a Secret Service agent and the reporter was escorted to the press holding area.
The press is always restricted to certain areas during these events, especially something this large and this important for the Clinton campaign, or for any campaign. Before anyone starts telling me Bernie didn't, I don't have any idea what he did... that's his choice, but that doesn't mean any other campaign should be ridiculed for this. In Sec. Clinton's case, she has the added SS protection which will dictate how the event is staged.
