Unity Dominates Opening Night at Pepsi CenterRandy Shawbyline‚ Aug. 26‚ 2008My first impressions, after nearly five hours at the Pepsi Center in Denver Monday night: 1. Anyone who tells you there is disunity at this convention is not simply delusional---they are flat out lying. 2. If there has ever been a major party convention with more African-Americans attending than this one has, let me know---I highly doubt it. 3. How is it possible that there is no wi-fi in the seating area of the Pepsi Center? It's been suggested that this is intentional, so convention goers are not seen playing on their computers rather than listening to speeches. But it's a lot of hours to be sitting without being able to write about the goings on, and it means much later nights for the press. |
