Day 4: Dems prepare for Invesco
By Brian Lawson, PolitickerNH.com ReporterDENVER--New Hampshire Democrats wasted no time this morning preparing for U.S. Sen. Barack Obama's speech at Invesco field.
Delegates were busy coordinating schedules, meeting spots and state Sen. Peter Burling (D-Cornish) and Martin Gross was going to buy hats and sunscreen for delegates.
"This is the reason why people came," David Scannell, New Hampshire Democratic Party executive director, said. "A lot of people are going to see history be made."
Scannell said the party has done everything it can to give delegates, and guests, the appropriate tickets but there are factors the party has no control over.
"It's going to be an adventure for us. Since we'll be in the middle of a football field we're telling people to bring a hat and sunscreen."

Quote of the Day
“In this era of crisis, it is important that all Americans step up in service to our country. In these next five years, the leading national issues will surely be the creation of new jobs, the economy, finance and financial regulation, energy, the environment, infrastructure and foreign policy,” Bestani said in a press release. “I have been privileged to have had a thirty-five year career which has given me high level experience in each of these complex fields. I think I would be remiss if I did not come forward and once again offer to serve our country.”
