In the Building!

It’s a beautiful view from the press box at the Pepsi Center in Denver, Colorado.  It’s just minutes before this the second day of the Democratic National convention is scheduled to start.  On the bill for tonight are such names as Ted Sorenson, speech writer to President John F. Kennedy, Iowa governor Chet Culver, Ohio Congressman Dennis Kucinich, the governor of John McCain’s home state Janet Napolitano, our very own John Huston, governor Deval Patrick (check out youtube.com/politicsfitzu for a preview) and of course Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton.  It is definitely scheduled to be a memorable night with the theme of “Renewing America’s Promise”. 

I sure have had a productive day already with two interviews under my belt before the convention starts.  In my brief to the news team this morning I said “yesterday was a pre-season game, now it’s time to start the season”.  It feel like Denver has the same attitude, weather its the on the floor, around the city, the media and even security, this is the big leagues, and the season has started.  I noticed a drastic rise in security presence on my walk to the Pepsi Center this after noon.

The entire Franklin Pierce news team is hyped up for tonight, I even let them sleep in a little. Keep your eyes out for updates all night on Youtube.com/PoliticsFitzU and Piercemediagrouponline.com for the latest from the Democratic National Convention here in Denver.
