Everybody wants to go to Denver, including my son, Asher, left, who really really wants to come along.
We're heading for Denver. Ben Tribbett from NLS will join James Martin and me, Josh Chernila, reporting live from the Democratic National Convention in Denver Starting Monday.
Check here and at NLS all week long. We'll be dividing floor coverage so that we can also cover a small selection of the astonishing array of events taking place around the Convention, and so that Ben can work on an amazing project with C-SPAN, covering new media.
Here's our floor coverage schedule:
Monday: RK has the floor for the opening day. The theme is "ONE NATION".
Monday's headline prime-time speaker will be Michelle Obama.
Tuesday: NLS will provide coverage of "RENEWING AMERICA'S PROMISE".
Senator Hillary Clinton will be the headline prime-time speaker and former Virginia Governor Mark Warner will deliver the keynote address on Tuesday night. Pay Equity pioneer Lilly Ledbetter will also address the Convention on Tuesday.
Wednesday: We'll split coverage. NLS will cover the "SECURING AMERICA'S FUTURE" through Bill Clinton's address and RK will pick up and cover through Joe Biden's Vice Presidential Address.
The headline prime-time speaker on Wednesday will be Barack Obama's Vice Presidential Nominee, Senator Joe Biden.
Thursday: RK will again provide coverage for "CHANGE YOU CAN BELIEVE IN", as 75,000 rally in the biggest Nomination Acceptance event since JFK accepted the nomination at the Los Angeles Coliseum in 1960.
On Thursday night, the DNCC will throw open the doors of the Convention and move to INVESCO Field at Mile High so that more Americans can be a part of the fourth night of the Convention as Barack Obama accepts the Democratic nomination. Obama will communicate the urgency of the moment, highlight the struggles Americans are facing and call on Americans to come together to change the course of our nation.
Keep checking back at RK and NLS throughout the week for interviews, updates, live blogs, and in-depth reporting LIVE from the Democratic National Convention in Denver, Colorado.
