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."
-- Bill Ritter, Governor of Colorado
"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."
