An audience full of journalists.

It’s a candidate’s worst nightmare.

And today two of three presidential candidates will get to experience that living nightmare as top journalists descend on the Washington Convention Center for industry conferences.

Republican John McCain speaks this morning at the Associated Press Annual Meeting.

Democrat Barack Obama will speak later at the Associated Press luncheon.

We’ll update this blog to let you know what the two presidential contenders say.

Hillary Clinton, Obama’s fellow Democrat, won’t be able to escape either. She’ll speak tomorrow at the joint lunch meeting of the Newspaper Association of America and American Society of Newspaper Editors.
