• DNC Chair Howard Dean arrives in Denver on Wednesday to check out convention preparations.
• Cameron Moody, Deputy CEO for Outside the Hall Operations, writes at Huffington Post about preparations for the convention.
• First the GOP can't get enough volunteers for the convention. Now they can't get enough police officers.
• Denver Mayor John Hickenlooper thinks Denver will be ready.
• The convention will be streaming in hi-def.
• Atlanta looks back in fondness on their convention 20 years ago this week, which also helped them secure the 1996 Olympics. Funny, no mention of the nominee anywhere in the article...
