It is convention season

Yesterday, we landed in the Mile High City. Our delegation consists of 8 students from Western Kentucky University and a faculty adviser. We attended a national meeting of the College Democrats of America. The organization seems to lack direction, but it seems that it will unite to elect Senator Barack Obama of Illinois. The meeting was at the Colorado Convention Center, which was an ideal venue for the gathering. We met a number of students from multiple states and Washington D.C. We voted in the College Democrat election, and the new president is from Texas. Also, we roamed the city and utilized public transportation. Denver was a great choice for the convention because the residents seem to be quite welcoming, and the city is quite clean. Today, we are going to see Governor Deval Patrick of Massachusetts and a number of other public speakers. It should be interesting, and I will keep you informed.
