7. I'm in Highlands Ranch just south of Denver. And there are

2 lightrail stations down here which can get folks right to the Pepsi Center and a stone's throw from Invesco Field at Mile High. I've offered to put up campaign folks but I haven't heard back from the campaign yet. So it's possible I would have some room if the campaign doesn't need the beds and couches. I'll email a kid I know who has worked for the campaign from the beginning and see if I can get a firm answer on whether they need the accommodations or not.

Price for Obama tickets? Activism

The crowd enveloping Barack Obama when he accepts the Democratic nomination for president at Invesco Field at Mile High will be asked to get to work for the privilege of witnessing the historic event live.

In a half-hour interview Wednesday with The Denver Post, Obama's deputy campaign manager, Steve Hildebrand, said he wants to use the ticketing process as a massive recruitment tool meant to bring in supporters from all 50 states and energize them to carry the campaign into the final 60 days of the general election.

"We're going to ask those 80,000 people in that stadium to march out of there and go with very specific instructions and goals to register millions of new voters," Hildebrand said.

The campaign announced July 7that it would hold the final night of the Aug. 25-28 convention at Invesco Field and open Obama's acceptance speech to thousands of spectators. Official details of the so-called "community credential" process are expected early next week, the campaign said.

By seating the 6,000 delegates down on the field normally defended by the Denver Broncos, and by keeping the number of journalists, technicians and VIPs at the same level as those attending the Pepsi Center events earlier in the week, the campaign could bring in more than 60,000 members of the public, Hildebrand said.

10. I live in Boulder and have a guest room

I also have a couple of very large and long sofas. So if anyone is planning on coming to Denver, Boulder is only a 30 minute bus ride away from the stadium and convention center.
