NPR Politics presents the Lunchbox List: our favorite campaign news and stories curated from NPR and around the Web in digestible bites (100 words or less!). Look for it every weekday afternoon from now until the conventions.

Convention Countdown

The Republican National Convention is in 5 days in Cleveland.

The Democratic National Convention is in 12 days in Philadelphia.

Did you know? CBS and Twitter have teamed up in an attempt to live-stream both conventions. Twitter won't be the only ones trying to live-stream in Cleveland: Google and the GOP itself have announced plans for live-streaming with 360-degree views.
