Denver Post: "The Democratic Party on Tuesday announced plans to hold a national strategizing session in Denver this summer, boosting hopes that the city also will be able to snag the party's 2008 convention. Denver Mayor John Hickenlooper and Colorado House Speaker Andrew Romanoff appeared with Democratic Leadership Council founder Al From to announce that the DLC will hold its annual 'national conversation' in Denver on July 22-24."
Here's the coverage from the Rocky Mountain News. They write, "Democratic Party leaders called Denver the "capital of the New West" on Tuesday, deeming Colorado critical to the party's plans to win the White House in two years. That's behind the thinking to hold a national brainstorming session for "New Democrats" in the Mile High City this summer, which could help Denver land the party's 2008 national nominating convention. That grand plan was proposed by the founder of the Democratic Leadership Council and echoed by Mayor John Hickenlooper and Colorado House Speaker Andrew Romanoff Tuesday at the Grand Hyatt Hotel, where they announced that the DLC will hold its 10th annual 'national conversation' in Denver July 22-24...
"The political strategy-fest at the Hyatt Regency Denver will draw about 300 Democrats from across the nation. It's expected to also attract a bevy of presidential hopefuls with DLC ties: Sen. Hillary Clinton, Iowa Gov. Tom Vilsack, Virginia Gov. Mark Warner and Indiana Sen. Evan Bayh."
