INVESCO FIELD
The field of dreams it should more aptly be known as. I was there for Obama's incredible acceptance speech. Who ever had any doubts about him before, I don't think they could ever have them again. Sitting for 12 hours waiting for that final moment when Barack took to the stage, I was entertained througout. Highlights included the whole audience from top to bottom doing the wave 6 times in a row, singing all the songs, dancing around, waving our american flags, and proclaiming our signs "Change" for all the world to see. It's a night I'll not easily ever forget.
McCain and his "VP"
News just in that McCain chose his VP running mate. A woman who was a PTA mom and slowly went up the ranks to Governor, right before being mayor of a town of fishermen of 3000 people. Is this the experience we want? This was a fabulous move for the McCain campaign, right after the DNC picking a VP that would draw a lot of publicity. But you Hillary supporters, don't turn your backs on the party that gave you life. Don't let this seethrough act that McCain is pulling fool you. This woman stands for nothing that the democratic party is about. She is totally opposite on Hillary's issues, even if she did do some major name dropping in her speech. She is pro life, she is for women not having equal pay, she is not for universal health care. Before you vote for McCain ask who is going to benefit from these policies or are we going to have the same four years as the last four years? Don't vote for him because you think in four years you can boot him out and put Hillary in his place. Don't be selfish. Think of the people who can no longer go to the doctor because the prices now are way to high and they aren't covered in insurance, think of the intelligence wasted as the smartest young people in the community fail to go to college as it has become too expensive, think of the people who live off the minimum wage with inflation blossoming all around them, think of the women who are paid less then men with lower jobs, think of the minorities racial tension and anti-unity, think of all the soldiers dying in a meaningless war which started in a lie, and think of all the women who is raped or with incest have to have that child. These are the problems we as a country face if McCain is elected. Think to yourself who you think the better choice is. I can't vote, I am 17, but you can. You have an opportunity to give to the young people a chance to live, to be able to have a powerful, educational, non-soldier, life. I will be living with your choice through my college years. It's your decision.

invesco field, the land of obama
I woke up at 6:30 to be able to get into the field to get good seats. It took one hour to walk to the fiekd and two hours to get past all the security checkpoints. I am so excited!!! I get to see OBAMA!!! Jennifer Hudson is going to sing the national anthem and supposedly Stevie Wonder and sheryl Crowe will perform. Even a banjo group just played. I am sitting right behind Nebraska, Alabama, and Oklahoma (my home state) so look for me in the stands.
3rd Time is not a charm
OMG!!! How amazing were all the speecheqs last night! Totally incredible! Clinton for OBAMA take that you PUMAs and McCant-ites! All the speeches were increible, I am pround ro be a democrat. Last night it seemed that they were trying to focus to show that the military was backing Obama. Did anyone notice that trend? And the special guest! That was pretty amazing! My favorite line would have to come from John Kerry when he was talking about the senator/candidate McCain. "Beforre he ever debates against obama he should debate against himself."
surprise
At Invesco Field tonight, there is going to be a major cell phone campaign that all of the 75000 spectators are going to be able to take part in. This information was provided to me by Obama's leading pollster, Mark Stromma. So look out for this world wide cell phone campaign that will get to you in half a second tonight and continue to spread the message.

suspicious package causes oanic
A suspicious package right outside of the pepsi center causes roads to be blocked. The police ushered us out of the area as the package was discovered. Although all the police officers denyed comment, several others around the area confirmed the sighting of a large brown cardboard box. Others confirmed that a robotic hand was being used to dispose of the mysterious box. As I am writing this 12 police cars have pulled up to the scene and 2 firetrucks all on high alarm... There has now been a large explosion that came drom the box area and people are running away from the scene. It has just been confirmed that the secret service are on the scene.
Native American Blessing
Native Americans who endorsed Obama went to Inesco Field yesterday to bless the stadium. The cool thing is that after the blessing a giant bald eagle flew around the stadium.
Hillary and the Feminist Movement
Yesterday we celebrated a very special day, the first time a woman has been taken seriously in the race to become a presidential candidate and the 88th anniversary of the ammendment giving women the right to vote. Although Hillary has been the first woman to be taken seriously, sinxe our country was founded there have been 100 womwn who have run for this titled position. The first woman to run for the presidency was Victoria Woodhall in 1872, who, unfortunately encountered many barriers. For one thing she was a woman so at this point she wasn't considered to be a citizen, and because she wasn't a citizen, she couldn't even vote for herself. In this 3rd wave of feminism, we are raised on the ideal that womwn can do everything and now we have succeeded in voting for a woman candidate. From the first womens rights convention at Seneca Falls in 1848 to now at our convention today, our ideals on the ideas of what women are able to accomplish have been completely transformed. I am so happy that Hillary handed over the torch or the "sisterhood if the traveling pantsuits" to Barck Obama (who is actually a junior). All we can hope for now is that the Hillary fanatics will take in the new candidate. But did anyone notice the whole family theme going on last night... it was going in the night before with the Obama's as well... Something to think about.
JUST IN: There have been several people arrested for assassination plots that were to happen tomorrow. The police have really been securing the area making sure that all will be well for Senator Obama's arrival. There are police everywhere on horses and motorcycles (although I have yet to see one on a donkey) there are at least 5 on every street corner.

Could OBAMA be in trouble by the former Clinton fans?
A new group for Hillary supporters has been formed... the PUMAs standing for Party Unity My Ass. This new group has 200000 people nation wide and there whole point at the convention is to persuade the delegates and superdelegates to vote for Hillary? Is Obama in trouble? Could Hillary get the nomination? If you have any questions or comments email me at cash.alice@gmail.com!
Watch Out McCain
There are 253 students here with me who all had to write essaies and get letters of rec to come. But at the republican national convention there are only 53 students going. This may show what the polls are unable to tell us about the college generation, so watch out McCain!
iraq reenactments, vegetarians for meat taxes, the conspiracy of 9/11
All of this list mentioned above are protests at the democratic national convention. But my persinal favorite would have to have been the whole group dressed from head to toe in pink proclaiming Make Out Not War. But some people (who had to be protected by a police force or else be beaten up), former Hillary fans were chanting in droning voices Clinton for McCain! But obviously these people are totally uninformed not knowing that she is giving up her delegates. Everyone in downtown denver is selling knockoff democratic stuff from Ban a republican t shirts that are like Banana Republic to key chains to wigs that look like Michelle Obama's . I even got to go past the wonder bread factory which was just wondrous. Haha. But it was really interesting chatting with Senator Graham this morning, a presidential candidate in 2004, he was also in the investigation program for 9/11 telling us that there is a 50 percent chance in the next ten years to have another attack. This caused a lot of us to question who this man was and where these republican ideas sprang from. He then went on to talk about our relationship with Russia and how we have to be nice to them because they have half of the nuclear weapons in the world. Ummm hello? It's not the cold war anymore. I also chatted with George McGovern the 1972 democratic presidental candidate. I'll update you more later.
First Day of Convention
Today was the first official day of the democratic national convention. I was able to go to the California delegates breakfast and meet rhe mayor if LA to union nembers of IWB Electric. Then we were able to talk with Jason Rai, the youngest superdelegate at the age of 21. Watching the tribute to Ted Kennedy and Michelle Obama's sppeech were also inspiring. Wooooo!
