It's official (a day off of the 24-hour news cycle but who cares): 

Breaking the mold of traditional political Conventions, the Democratic National Convention Committee (DNCC) today announced that Senator Barack Obama will accept the Democratic nomination for President of the United States at Denver’s INVESCO Field at Mile High. INVESCO Field can accommodate more than 75,000 people and will be the site of the 2008 Democratic Convention’s final day of programming on Thursday, August 28, 2008

Aaaaaand...from Obama headquarters in Chicago :

At the Democratic National Convention next month, Barack will deliver his acceptance speech in front of 75,000 people at a free, open event in Denver, Colorado.

Make a donation of $5 or more between now and midnight on July 31st, and you could be one of 10 supporters chosen to meet Barack backstage and watch his acceptance speech in person.

Each of the 10 selected supporters can bring a guest, and will be flown to Denver to spend two days at the convention, culminating in Barack's speech on Thursday, August 28th.

This is shaping up to be a good year to get involved, and Chad and I will be there in the middle of the fray reporting to you all.  Do yourself a favor.  Throw $5 in.  You won't miss it.

The best of both worlds

This is democracy at its very best. It just goes to show you how much Obama cares about us and how badly he wants change.

Now, for breaking news...Seems like it is possible that my main man JOHN EDWARDS is considering saying yes if Obama asks him to be his running mate.(that is if he askes, he would be nuts not to) I supported John in 2004 and even in the 2008 caucus. He got 2 votes in our caucus, mine and my husbands!! Here is the link to the CNN story
