Monday, August 25
It’s
6 PM in Denver and my day is just half over. I arrived this morning for
the Democratic National Convention and I practically feel like a
veteran.
Here, I’ll share some of my experiences and attempt to depict the energy and constant movement that is this year’s convention.
I
left Los Angeles at 6 AM Monday morning and arrived to a calmer Denver
airport than the day before. I’m rooming in the unfinished basement of
a bed and breakfast about three miles from the convention’s epicenter.

Fascinating insight into the day to day flow of a national political convention Olivia! What do you see as the untold story? Is there anything we're not getting a feel for through the national media that you're sensing on the ground? I was so pleased to hear Clinton's supporters finally accepting closure after her (impressive) speech and rallying round Obama. Do you get that sense of a shift occurring?
People are pleased with Hillary's speech but there's also (in my mind) an unfair expectation that she "did what she had to do." I give her more credit than that. She really rallied the crowd while staying true to the issues about which she's passionate: healthcare and her constituents/supporters.
