DU reports from the Democratic National Convention, August 25-28 2008

Crowd shot during the speech...



Oprah Winfrey, as well as Carl Levin, rode in my elevator after the speech. There was a weird incident when Oprah got on the elevator. There was a large group of people behind her who were insisting on getting on the elevator, but security was intervening, as the elevator was full, and people in the elevator started shouting at them. They wouldn't let the elevator close. My impression was that they were following Oprah. Finally they relented, but the whole thing was odd.



So there ya have it... tomorrow, I am hoping to take a drive up to Boulder, maybe into the mountains, to get a little leisure in before my flight in the evening. It's been great! I hope you've all enjoyed my reports!
