Jesse and I left DC this morning headed to Denver, probably along with every politically minded and media type in the District. After a short stop in Houston at George Bush International Airport (which brought loads of comments from the Democratic delegates on our flight), we made it to the Mile High City. We're staying a little outside of Denver since every hotel in the city was booked long before we even knew WRGW had been credentialed...Although we did get free delicious cookies! Our shuttle driver recommended we eat dinner at Joe's Crab Shack, visit unsinkable Molly Brown's haunted house, and used phrases like "cotton-pickin'." Not quite what we were looking for, but entertaining nevertheless.
Tomorrow we'll have lots of real news for all of you. A preview for the week...we'll be covering the DC delegation while they protest not having a vote and hopefully track down Mayor Fenty. We'll be meeting up with lots of GW's College Dems who are in Denver for their annual conference. We're going to spend some time with a GW student who is a delegate for New Mexico. And of course, we'll have all the action from the Pepsi Center and at Invesco Field when Barack Obama accepts the party's nomination.
Stay tuned for updates!
