The "Mile High" city is really a mile high!

I'm out here in Denver at the DNC (that's Democratic National Committee) convention. I'm told that this should be the convention to end all conventions. We'll see about that. But, what I will say is, the Denver people (I'm calling them Denver'inians- just because I can!) are very friendly, and seem to genuinely like each other. Their downtown area reminds me of St. Louis- not super imposing, but very nice buildings. There's a strip that looks like the new Louisville downtown. Bars, shops and lots of neon lights. They've also converted old warehouses into bars and businesses. Where I'm staying is just wide open space, with buildings randomly scattered. I don't get a grid-like feeling from the layout, but it's so open, you feel open.
Also, I'll never complain about my hometown's public transportation again. Here, it was $1.75 to take a bus to the train (they call it the Light Rail), which then costs $3.75 to get downtown. There are transfers you can get to lower the cost a bit, but Geez!

So... It's Joe Biden, eh?

Now it's time to do some homework! See, even JFK picked a southern gentleman to pull well-needed votes in that region, so what's the deal here? The whole thing about Biden being chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee is a bit thin. Well, at the very least, Biden will fill the next three months with many exceptional one-liners. The one he used to sum up Rudy Giuliani's campaign's over-reliance on the World Trade Center disaster is still a classic in my book!

"Rudy Guiliani.. Probably the most underqualified man since George Bush to seek the presidency.. There's only three things he mentions in a sentence: a noun, and a verb and 9-11".

I couldn't have said it better!
