People getting worked up because the DNC *might* be taking a lot of rooms two weeks in advance. Does anyone know? No, but that's not stopping them. Denver is a major city with a lot of hotel rooms. The crunch will come closer to the convention but I can't imagine they'd take as many rooms as everyone seems to think they will. To me, this is yet another argument for one year out voting--they'd be debating more useful things if the con were coming up sooner. Why do major parties have conventions, Keith asks? From what I hear, for pretty much the same reasons we do. It's fun to hang with your own brand of crazies. --Eva
