Yesterday, while most of the delegates arrived at our hotel, I took in the sites and sounds of downtown Denver. Mostly sounds. After a tour of the venerable 16th Street pedestrian mall, I checked out protesters near the state capital.
There were hundreds of anticapitalist, antiestablishment, antiwhatever, 17 year old protestors milling about (not the thousands the organizers had hoped. By the way, how do you organize a group anarchists?) .
My favorite were the group of Rep[ublican, prowar protestors holding signs like “Don’t feed the liberals!”
I went up to that particular protestor and asked, “Not even freedom fries?”
He was not amused.
Now it’s 7:30 am on Monday, and we’re about to go into our delegation breakfast. This is where we recieve our credentials and hear from a national speaker. Today’s special guest. Montana Governor Brian Schweitzer, one of my favorite Democrats.
