Banking on Becoming
President 2008
Courtesy of:
OPEN SECRETS
After just three
months of
fundraising, the
candidates for
president in 2008
have already raised
more than $150
million. No
presidential money
chase has ever
started so quickly.
By some predictions,
the eventual
nominees will need
to raise $500
million apiece to
compete—a record
sum. To find out
where all this money
is coming from,
explore the options
to the left.

Democratic Convention 2008 at Denver!
The 2008 Democratic National Convention will
be the 2008
United States presidential nominating
convention of the
Democratic Party.
It will be held from Monday,
August 25, through Thursday,
August 28,
2008, in
Denver,
Colorado.
(The
2008 Republican National Convention will
start just 4 days later, on
September 1,
2008, in
St. Paul,
Minnesota).
Almost everything else about the 2008
Democratic National Convention is
uncertain: who will chair it, what its rules
will be, who its speakers will be, and, most
importantly of all, who its nominee will be.
DENVER –

Gov. Bill
Ritter met
with AFL-CIO
President
John Sweeney
on Monday
and promised
to work with
him to
resolve
organized
labor's
objections
to the
choice of
Denver as
the site of
the 2008
Democratic
National
Convention
next year.
Ritter said
he and
Sweeney
discussed
the lack of
union
workers at
area hotels,
problems
over
contracts
with stage
hands and
the
temporary
use of union
labor at the
main
convention
venue, the
Pepsi
Center. More...

35
cities were
invited
to
bid for the 2008 convention in
late November '05. Some of the
key cities are:
Anaheim:
Held an event at the 2004
convention to kick-off their
2008 bid, but absolutely no news
since then. With California not
being competitive, and with the
Dems in LA in 2000, I doubt this
will happen. (Anaheim was not on
the list of 35 cities!)
Atlanta:
They hosted in 1988 (Dukakis),
and it was hot and sticky. If
the south is really in play in
2008, the Dems will win anyway.
Denver:
The first city to officially
accept
an invitation to bid for the
convention. Given the strategic
Western location of Colorado,
they must be considered a
front-runner at this point.
Detroit: They were one of the 4
finalists for the 2004
convention, and also submitted a
bid in 2000. It would not be
surprising if they made a
significant effort to get the
2008 convention.
New
Orleans:
Lots of talk for the obvious
reasons, but I don't think it
will happen. The DNC is is
having their spring '06 meeting
here.
New York:
Schumer sent a letter to
Dean asking the DNC to pick NY,
but I don't think there's any
political advantage to NY.
Orlando:
Has officially accepted an
invitation to bid for the
convention.

"The
convention will have a
significant economic impact
not just on Denver, but it
will have a ripple effect
across the entire state and
the West. This will be great
for Denver and great for
Colorado. A major reason we
were able to compete against
a city like New York and
ultimately win ... is
because Denver made
important investments in
infrastructure."
- Governor
Bill Ritter
"Like the
Democratic Party itself, the
Mile High City embodies the
21st century ideals of
economic strength,
environmental consciousness,
regional collaboration,
cutting-edge technological
infrastructure and visionary
zeal that will help lead
America in the year 2008 and
beyond."

>One billion
people have Internet access<
May 18 12:35 PM US/Eastern
More than one billion people in
the world have access to the
Internet, with a quarter of them
with broadband, or high-speed
connections, according to a
survey.
The report by the firm
eMarketer said the milestone of
one billion was reached in late
2005, and that nearly 250
million households had broadband
connections.
The firm estimates that of
these people, 845 million use
the Internet regularly.
The United States is still
number one in terms of numbers
of Internet users with 175
million, and broadband
households, 43.7 million.
In terms of regions, however,
Asia-Pacific has the largest
number (315 million) and is the
largest broadband center
containing nearly 40 percent of
the world's broadband
households.
Latin America was the
fastest growing broadband region
worldwide, achieving 70 percent
subscriber growth, the survey
found. But it had just 70
million people online.
Europe had 233 million people
online and 55.2 million
broadband households. China had
111 million users and 34.1
million households with fast
connections.
The report was based on a number
of industry surveys and data
from the International
Telecommunication Union and
Organization of Economic
Cooperation and Development.
