Here's an article about Denver's winning the competition to host the 2008 Democratic Convention, from the Rocky Mountain News. From the article, "Denver and the Democratic Party began a long-term relationship Thursday, and both sides hope the match will bring great fortune. For Denver, hosting the Democratic National Convention in 2008 is an opportunity to establish the city as the undisputed political capital of the fast-growing interior West. For the Democrats, it's a way to reach out to independent-minded western voters and put a Democrat in the White House...
"Democrats have done well recently in the interior West. In the last election, they picked up a U.S. Senate seat in Montana and U.S. House seats in Colorado and Arizona. They've also boosted their ranks in state legislatures in the West. It's been almost half a century since Democrats last controlled the legislature and governorship in Colorado, as they do now."
