It has all been building to this: Thursday night, the fourth night of the Democratic National Convention, Hillary Clinton will accept her party’s nomination for president of the United States. In the hours before she does so, her praises will be sung by a host of politicians and activists—as well as Carole King, who will literally sing them using music. Andrew Cuomo, Sherrod Brown (who was under consideration for Clinton’s running mate spot), and the elusive Chelsea Clinton are among the other presenters.

Twitter was aglow on Wednesday with beleaguered conservative pundits praising Barack Obama’s rousing speech. Will they do the same for Hillary? Below are live tweets about the convention, drawn from a list of top accounts curated by Slate. You’ll see left-leaning commentators on the left and right-leaning commentators on the right. Let the spin begin.
