The Aspen Ideas Festival, presented by the Aspen Institute and The Atlantic, begins today.

The following news men and women will broadcast live from Aspen. Some were mentioned in Politico Playbook this morning by Mike Allen, who is attending and writing Playbook from the road. As we also know from this morning’s antics, Slate‘s Dave Weigel is also attending and has hopefully arrived safe and sound without his plane suffering any engine trouble. There is no doubt in our minds that he’ll be tweeting his fingers off this week in Aspen.
