Local political observe David Brauner called me early this morning to register his distaste for yesterday's coverage of the Democratic National Convention. In case you missed it, we had two stories, both on Page 1A, relating to the convention. One announced a public party to watch Obama's presumed acceptance of the nomination, on Thursday evening. The other article discussed local impressions of the convention. Of course, I assured Mr. Brauner that next week we will have equal coverage of the GOP convetnion. As one GOP member headed to St. Louis for the convention said to me today, "This is their week, next week is our week." Well put.

In anyevent, in case Mr. Brauner would like something to call me about tomorrow, here are some impressions from the ground in Denver, courtesy of Hillary delegate/Commissioner of Public Safety Ron Kim.

"This has been quite an event so far."

"I thought Hillary’s speech was perfect. I thought she struck the right the note for unity in the party."

"Kennedy was very moving. I was never such a huge fan of Ted Kennedy, but I also didn’t know of all the things he did, like medicare and medicade. It was well received by the attendees here."

"Part of the problem they have here is that there is so much press, that there’s not enough room for delegates, alternates and their guests."

"Security is tight, and I’ve been getting to events very early to make sure I get a seat."

"I’m looking forward to tomorrow night, when Obama accepts the nomination."
