Heading Back

Even with Denver's top-notch mass transit system, each of the four days of the convention entailed miles and miles of walking ...getting up early ...staying up late for parties and slow video uploads. I don't think I could have covered a 5th day.

I think we got what we came for: to show you what it would be like to come to a major political convention and the sights and sounds and surroundings that don't generally show up on television and in newspapers.

We also have our candidate, Barack Obama and it's onto victory in November. GET YOUR ABSENTEE BALLOT NOW.

The convention was filled with stirring moments from the podium and being on the floor was and nothing short of an incredible experience. The perspective from my perch with the Democrats Abroad Delegation and my access to virtually any part of the big show was really overwhelming. I'm very grateful to the Democratic Party Committee Abroad for selecting me as their Official State Blogger and I hope that I've served them well.

I've really got to mention that the City of Denver handled flawlessly the sudden landing of thousands of delegates, reporters, tourists, police and protesters. Almost without exception, those invaders behaved themselves as well. Many hundreds of police were imported from towns all over Colorado to augment Denver security... something that unsettled visitors and Denverites but in the end they battled nothing more than heat and boredom. Restraint and tolerance prevailed. Most local residents that I met were happy about hosting the convention and actually curious as to whether or not I was satisfied with the city and the experience. A goodly number of others, however, were down right angry at the incredible impositions they were forced to endure: the closure of major thoroughfares like Speer Boulevard and I-25 not to mention the downtown streets that could open or close at any moment. Denverites took it in stride but, like me, probably couldn't have taken much more.

The weather was spectacular, in my opinion. Although each day had it's hot moments with clear skies and intense sun, the dryness of the air kept it remarkably comfortable. The evenings were much cooler and really quite beautiful. The weekend before had been rainy and two tornadoes touched down to our south but the open air venue for Obama's acceptance speech remained dry.

Entonces, tired and tanned, I head back home to mi Buenos Aires, querido, no worse for the wear. And back to working to ensure that every US citizen gets to cast an absentee ballot.

Thanks for watching! And thanks to zannel.com's PoliticsBlue for helping me tremendously with bringing you videos of the convention experience.
