Denver to host 2008 Democratic Convention

While I'm booking my trip to Denver, it is announced that it will host the Democratic Convention.

Democrats selected Denver to host their 2008 presidential convention, turning down New York in favor of a problematic but enthusiastic bid from a city in the increasingly Democratic Rocky Mountain West.

"There is no question that the West is important to the future of the Democratic Party," Democratic Chairman Howard Dean said in a statement Thursday. "The recent Democratic gains in the West exemplify the principle that when we show up and ask for people's votes and talk about what we stand for, we can win in any part of the country."
