Kinda makes you feel like a delegate with a front row seat, minus the funny hat blocking your view.

“Partnering with Ustream.TV sends a clear message that the Republican Party wants the Internet generation and all people – from Party loyalists to casual observers – to be part of the 2008 Republican National Convention,” said Cino. “Anyone with computer and internet access will be guaranteed a front-row seat to history through www.GOPConvention2008.com, as we formally nominate the next President and Vice President of the United States.”

Ustream.TV co-founder Brad Hunstable was also on hand to explain that in addition to unprecedeted, live access of gavel-to-gavel floor activity, viewers, voters, bloggers and other interested parties will have access to video web chats, online interviews, behind the scenes coverage and other activities leading up to the event.

Hunstable, a West Point grad, originally worked to create the site, after completing his military service in the United States Army, in an effort to connect people in a “much more meaningful way via the Internet.” It is his hope that Ustream’s technology and convention partnership will engage new audiences and expand the impact that the Internet has on the political process.
