Denver bound

Democratic Party officials from around the country checked out Denver hotels yesterday, in preparation for the '08 convention.

Caroline Valand, executive director of the N.C. Democratic Party, asked one of the more popular questions of the day, the NYT reports.

"How late does the bar stay open?" asked Caroline Valand, executive director of the North Carolina Democratic Party, as she strolled through the Denver Marriott South.

It was one of the more popular questions.

"After coming back to the hotel around 10, people want to sit around and talk about a great speech they might have heard, and maybe have a drink," Ms. Valand explained. "Or two."

Conventions aren't all about bylaws and state pins, you know.

If all the speechifying is over in time for delegates to get back to the hotel by 10, then the Democrats can definitely toast to an evening of well-organized oratory. Of course, if the convention starts running smoother than a TTA express from Raleigh to Durham and there is no opportunity for spur-of-the-moment demonstrations of political sentiment or candidate loyalty, they they might have to serve coffee back at the hotel to keep everyone from yawning the night away.
