Mile High Salute

I am excited that Governor Dean has picked Denver to host the 2008 Democratic National Convention.

The 2006 elections showed that the West is moving into the “blue” column. If a Democrat is going to win the Presidency in 2008, our party will have to embrace the West. Denver is a modern, culturally diverse city with a proven track record of hosting major national events. The City of Denver will make a wonderful host city for the 2008 Democratic National Convention.

I look forward to helping nominate the next President of the United States in my home town.
