Democrats are preparing for a standing-room-only political convention in Colorado this year — and it's not in Denver. No, we're talking about the state Democratic convention May 17th in Colorado Springs, reports Tim Hoover [1].
Organizers expect this year's convention, where Democrats elect delegates to attend the national convention in August, to have record attendance. The World Arena in Colorado Springs holds a maximum of 9,000 people, and Democratic party officials say they're expecting 10,000 or more people - and that's just delegates - to show up.
