I also lived in Capital Hill and "Thornton"...... god I hated Thornton.
Denver is like New York or Chicago in that it has very distinctive burghs.

Any chance of bringing a cam for the meet up?
I think that place has internet. We have plenty that can help with the tech

54. That's why I just spaced out. A Republican is speaking. Must be something about the cadence

of the speech of these people. But I Thank him.

I like hearing from the folks who've worked with and known the younger Barack. Important parts of his story are told then!

[patrice]

I listened to his every word. The kind of information he has is precious.

[cyndensco]

56. Iowans rock.

[goodgd_yall]

[OnceUponTimeOnTheNet]

74. Apears the DU folks are more interested in starting Their Own off shoot threads

in place of following this historic event in a compact place. Thanx Blogslut for trying. This is a rather stupid place at times.

Off to watch. Night All.

[OnceUponTimeOnTheNet]

75. Back to say this place is rather like watching the MSM again.

food for thought....

[Ichingcarpenter]

77. Thanks for the thread and suppot....

I was having a problem getting on any thread for a while.

[goodgd_yall]

78. You mean all the reports on what the MSM is saying?
