Colorado Springs Marriott Welcomes Democrats for the 2008 Democratic National Convention

    /24-7PressRelease/ - COLORADO SPRINGS, CO, March 09, 2008 - As partisan commercials pepper the television nonstop, radio waves cover daily debates, and newspapers are deciding who to endorse, it is clear that Presidential hopefuls are already campaigning at full force to ensure their spots as the 2008 nominees.

Elections may not be until November, but come summer, the Democratic National Convention will decide just who will lead the party to the final selection. In January 2007, the Denver Pepsi Center in Denver, Colorado, won the bid to host the Democrat convention, which will take place on August 25-28, 2008.

Over 35,000 attendees are expected to flock to Colorado for this significant gathering, including approximately 5,000 delegates and 15,000 media personnel. Denver will no doubt be filled to capacity, thus giving the Colorado Springs Marriott and other area hotels the opportunity to welcome excited Democrats for this monumental national event.
