Well, we finally made it into Denver where we were greeted by a city draped in an extravagant display of red, white and blue upon a majestic backdrop of mountainous skies. The energy within the city was immediately evident, as you couldn't walk down the street without bumping into a fellow member of the media or someone dawning a delegate badge. The scene laid out in front of the Pepsi Center was incredible, however its interior was even more of a spectacle. The cheers of the crowd as various speakers took the stage resonated throughout the entire building, while the moment when Senator Ted Kennedy made an appearance was extremely powerful and equally emotional. Although all of the night's speakers were well-received, no one was given a more thunderous applause then that of Michelle Obama. Overall, our first night at the Democratic National Convention was an amazing experience and we look forward to all that will unfold in the upcoming week.
Be sure to check back periodically throughout the week for more extensive updates and political footage straight from the 'Mile High City.'
