I went to the 1 year countdown to the DNC in Denver. There was Howard Dean, Governor Bill Ritter, and Mayor John Hickenlooper to kick it off at the Pepsi Center (the site of the convention)
The theme will be The greenest Convention in the History of American Politics. They promised an infintessimal carbon footprint, recycling of just about everything used. Use of the new wind farm out in the desert (I think), energy efficient lighting, and re-newable or recycled materials for the stage props. Mayor Hickenlooper promised to spare no expense to make this a benchmark convention by making it the greenest ever.
So why now? Do they know something about a certain former Vice President who may or may not be running in 2008 that the rest of us don't? His coy non answer/kiss to Randi Rhodes is yet one more tease. I don't think the DNC leadership/city/state officials would find this necessary just for Hillary.
...or maybe it's just the right time to go green, and I'm just to wishful in my thinking.:crazy:
