Third Congressional District candidate Ben Ray Lujan stopped by the Big Tent at the Democratic National Convention in Denver Wednesday afternoon. The tent is serving as the central hub of all the blogging activity in Denver this week.

Lujan made his rounds away the tent, and got stopped several times. He was interviewed by Antena 3 TV, a Spanish news station. That’s Spanish from Spain, not from New Mexico or Mexico. Lujan gave an interview in the middle of the Big Tent while bloggers and volunteers walked in the background and Maya Soetoro-Ng — presidential candidate Barack Obama’s sister — addressed the blogging crowd.

Lujan met Soetero-Ng as well as a number of other Big Tent denizens. By one set of TVs, Ben Ray Lujan stopped as the New Mexico delegation was ready to cast their votes for Barack Obama. New Mexico Democratic party chair Brian Colon deferred the New Mexico delegates to Illinois — who in turn deferred their delegates to New York, where Hillary Clinton ended the process.

"There’s Brian!" Lujan said when he saw his state party chair on screen.
